Shane30530 Valued Member Canada 73 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 3:25 pm Hello everyone. Sorry to pull up this topic, I know it gets old after a while. This one has me confused though. Several aspects say small date like,spacing of liberty from Lincoln coat, the alignment of the date, the tail of nine and alignment of mint mark. Then there's signs of large date the 2 particularly. May be me but seems it's been spread by wear. Any help be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Shane30530 Valued Member Canada 73 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 3:47 pm Thank you for your reply. I guess I just don't have an eye for this one because the 8'd look round to me and 2 looks like a u. This is hard one for me. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 6:20 pm For me it is the top of the 8.On the LD the top of the 8 is large and on the SD the top of the 8 is small like on a snowman. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 6:29 pm The shape of the 2 and the distance of the 2 from the rim are the best indicators. Always easy to tell from them. Report this Post to the Staff
