Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 06:18 am Looks like a large date and slightly misaligned die. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19126 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 07:28 am Aye, that's a large date. Minor die misalignment present. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 09:44 am Agree, large date. Report this Post to the Staff
atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1373 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 10:10 am I agree with the others; large date and I can't see any alignment problems. It IS a pretty nice coin for being 50+ years old. I wish I still looked as well when I was that age. Report this Post to the Staff
jk109e4 Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 10:27 am Large. To be small, the liberty would be more faint especially the last four letters, the end of the nine is pointed east not southeast and appears slightly more oblong and the "o" would not be high to the seven and more level with the height of all the other numbers in the date. It is difficult to find these in any grade in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 12:59 pm May just be lighting angles and shadows playing tricks with eyes, but, running north to south it seems to be Off Center to me. Not much and not effecting the devices, but it don't take much to make it so. Also around 9:00 the rim seems a bit weak on the Reverse and close to missing all together on the Obverse. Might check the edge and diameter for anything out the ordinary. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 03/21/2023 1:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
