Small picture but looks like a Small Date, heavily Damaged though.
The "2" is rather close to the rim so could be a large date after all.

Looks like the loops of the 8 are relatively the same size. On Small Date cents the top loop is smaller than the bottom loop. EDIT: Added visual..........  Edited by Marv65

Would love to see a clear, sharp, close-in pic of the date. With the single image above, it appears there are circulation hits in the date, which may have reshaped the 2.

Sure looks like a large date to me, but clearer photos needed.

Large Date.
Educate yourself before throwing these things out here.
You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

It's a Large Date, not a Small Date.

the shape says small date and the gap says large date - with the hits on the 2, I say it was altered by them. the small gap won't lie..
This is a large date.

This is a large date all day long. Study this link and in no time you won't need help determining this anymore... https://www.coincommunity.com/error...oln-cent.aspI unlocked you but please check the attitude. We just don't act like people on Facebook here. That's why we're so busy.  |
