TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 09/08/2023 1:15 pm I do admit it is difficult to tell, which is why I'm reaching out. Ty for your opinions. I lean towards small date, but it doesn't hit me 100%. Report this Post to the Staff

TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 09/08/2023 1:59 pm I added one additional picture to help, ty all Report this Post to the Staff
igwt79 Pillar of the Community United States 1463 Posts	Posted 09/08/2023 2:56 pm A second look at "Errers and Varietys" link and TippyCanoe's pics changes my mind... I think John1 may be correct, LD. TippyCanoe's date appears to have the low 7, a thicker blunted 9, and a fairly well defined Liberty. Maybe sharper images would help, but I'm now on the large date side. With the posted images, I just can't decide Edited by igwt79 09/08/2023 3:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 09/08/2023 4:54 pm Ty Sam, you sound confident about that opinion. I haven't felt that with any other opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/08/2023 5:18 pm Shape of the 9 is a dead giveaway. The loop of the 9 points towards the base of the 7 on the large date, while this points directly backwards. Report this Post to the Staff
TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 09/08/2023 5:35 pm thank you Sam. That is hard to picture but I kinda of see it. TY Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 09/08/2023 6:24 pm the termination of the 9 (being round and not squared off) says it is a small date. Collecting since 1972.

Toledano99 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 09/10/2023 2:22 pm I'm not an expert, but my vote is SD. I use this link on coppercoins: https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...parison.html The part I use is: "The one tell tale sign between the two that NEVER fails is a crease that runs horizontally across the top of the diagonal of the 7 on ALL large date cents. That crease is completely absent on ALL small date cents (this works for proofs too). Take a look at the photos below and see for yourself...and enjoy collecting!"
