NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 978 Posts	Posted 01/14/2025 8:57 pm I didn't realize any 1960 P Small over Large date business strike DDO's existed. I thought these were only Proof DDO's. And less than 3000 according to Wexler. https://doubleddie.com/305001.html Found this one tonight the 1st roll of a new box.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8733 Posts	Posted 01/15/2025 12:01 am It's just chipping on the date, very common on the 1960 coins. Notice the similar look on my Denver coin. I was taught this several years ago, not a small over large. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 978 Posts	Posted 01/15/2025 01:26 am -Makecents-. Yup, it sure does look like chipping. There's more on the R,U,S and T. Also, on the neck, chin and lips. Thanks for the great feedback! "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff

NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 978 Posts	Posted 01/15/2025 12:47 pm Looks like -makecents-, my recent 1960 small date and other finds validate the US Mint "chipping" explanation for having both a small date and large date die for 1960 LMC. A some additional research into led to this very interesting read on error-ref.com about skepticism regarding the US Mint's explanation.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8733 Posts	Posted 01/15/2025 3:51 pm Yes, I've read that a few times. The small and large date 60's series was an absolute mess. The fact that they started with the 59 master die and doctored it up was not a good start. Did you dig into the clashing it spoke of? I have posted the link on here a couple of times for others. Keep your eyes open on the 60D small date for this, there are a lot of them. LINK https://www.maddieclashes.com/1960-...d-die-files/ -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
