EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 08/24/2025 11:30 am Hi, Came upon this in a roll. It weighs over 3 g which got my attention, but I just can't tell of it's a small or large date with the crud on it. It seems to be a large date due to how thick the 2 is on the bottom, but then it seems to be small too due to distance from rim and the 2 tapering off at the bottom. Help!
