mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 07/30/2009 10:39 am I probably need better crisp pictures to tell for sure, but it sure looks like the 9 is pointy, suggesting small date. Report this Post to the Staff

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 07/30/2009 5:06 pm We have some excellent talent here and this question comes up time and again, we all have our ways of diagnosing varieties, this to me with just the leg of the 7 being lower than the zero, Large date, no need to go through the other classic signs, IMO.....

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 07/30/2009 6:01 pm It looks like a LD with perhaps a hit to the 9, because the shape of the 7 and alignment is conclusive to me. Report this Post to the Staff
penny pincher Valued Member United States 429 Posts	Posted 08/01/2009 12:00 am The other way to tell is if the "LIBERTY" is not crisp and a little mushy (great advice I was given not long ago). Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/01/2009 11:00 am panny pincher - that advice is not always correct. The coin in question is definitely a large date. There are enough diagnostics on the date alone to not have to bother with LIBERTY. Report this Post to the Staff
