CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 02/14/2023 10:36 pm Thanks gang! Quote: Looks like a LD to me Cujohn, besides the date design, a good way of determining the small date is the weakly struck ERTY in LIBERTY.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/15/2023 1:40 pm It's a large date. Note the shape of the '9'? Just extreme die polishing altering the devices. Not a Small date. The direction '9' inside look points in the wrong direction: Edited by coop 02/15/2023 1:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8736 Posts	Posted 02/15/2023 8:17 pm I made a side by side pic yesterday but did not think it would be necessary to post, obviously it is. CoinHI's cent has been beaten up a bit but can easily be seen as a small date. I have never heard anyone else use this as a pick up point but the Zero is also oblong, out of round, with the small date, the large date is a true oval, just noticed this, looking at several . Anyway, the pics show CoinHI's, as clearly a small date. I'd drop my mic and walk off the stage right now, if I had a mic or a stage. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 02/15/2023 9:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
