JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 02/20/2026 1:04 pm I just go by the 7, if it is lower than the 0, it is a Large Date, if it is even with the 0, it is a Small Date. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 02/23/2026 11:43 am I agree as well. In my experience, seeing a large and small side by side, the difference will jump out at you. There would be no question, IMHO. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
