Dearborn Moderator United States 96514 Posts	Posted 03/01/2023 08:35 am Yes, it does appear to be a large date cent here. (The loop of the 9 seems to be pointing to the bottom of the 7 and not towards the middle of the 7.) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/01/2023 11:57 am There is also flat field doubling on the fields of this coin. (right hand side of the devices) These were part of the first strike with Machine Doubling on this coin. Thus the second strike is flattening the marks. Thus why we see flat field doubling on proof coins. But it is a large date Proof Cent. (common) Report this Post to the Staff
