jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 01/10/2024 10:11 pm I may have to get one of those back up computer hard drives for my brain. Does anybody else have trouble with determining small date vs large dates on these 1960 cents. I enlarged the photo and drew the straight line as suggested. To me, this looks like a small date!!! Also has a crack/die break on obverse that almost goes from rim to rim. Your opinion, please.. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 01/11/2024 4:57 pm SD and the scratch might have been on the planchet. I see a few of these out of unc rolls and bags. It's a scratch but being on the planchet and then struck won't have any metal buildup above the surface. Report this Post to the Staff

grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 01/12/2024 4:48 pm For me to quickly identify a small or large date ,I look inside the zero of the date and if it's shaped like an ellipse (oval) as opposed to circular then it's a small date. Report this Post to the Staff
