Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6458 Posts	Posted 08/17/2023 2:21 pm Yeah, the first time I came across a 1974 large date under magnification, I immediately had that charge of finding a DDO. Mine also has a ferocious case of DD or MD which makes it look way more unique than it really is. The '74 large date was such an unusual style choice, just for part of the year, and apparently never repeated again. To that point, I hadn't even realized that such a variety even existed. It's quite common, though. A little more than half of 1974 cents are the large date style. Edited by Brandmeister 08/17/2023 2:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 08/17/2023 2:43 pm One small addition to the above replies, which are excellent, is that the number 1 appears to have taken a small hit on the top. I don't think that this is doubling of any type but rather damage.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6458 Posts	Posted 08/17/2023 5:13 pm Spence, that's a good point. On my example, you can see that the top of the 1 extends slightly above the 9. That was a circulation hit, as you pointed out. Report this Post to the Staff
