Had this under another section of the forum and thought this may be better place. Thanks for your input.

Hmm...these are the same 3 as posted here?
I'll let someone else tackle these--I hope all three are SDs.

The first one is definite. The second questionable. The third definitely not.

The top one on the list looks like a SD to me. The die state must have been early if its possible, normally the Y is weaker. nlp

This is why I just bought a PCGS graded one for my set.

My opinion for the 3 pictured was 1 & 3 yes, 2 no.

In hand, the differences between LD and SD are pretty dramatic.
Photos are a little more tricky, depending on lighting angle and resolution.

Im going with YES,YES,NO

But the 2nd is kinda hard to say with the angle. If you can get a nice close pic of the date straight on, it would help

I have no clue. I can't tell them apart. What is the difference?

To add a bit more information to this. These all came out of the same unopened roll. I looked at all 50 under a miroscope. I have looked at many hundreds over the years. I believe these are all small dates. I would be willing to make a small wager ($20) with the first 3 members that think any of these are not. I need one person for each coin and I will submit them for grading. The $60 will about cover the grading. DV's comment about the difference in hand is very accurate. I jumped out of my seat when I found the first one. I am also not a very good photographer. I love this forum. You guys are the best.

Im guessing #1---LD #2---LD #3----SD The zero seems a little to high. on 1&2 but the 9's look right. And #3's 7 looks like a SD. I bet your all confused now. He HE

Just a guess. But for a BU "unopened" roll they all should be small dates. Right?

Oh no....I gotta say it, based on these pictures those all look like large dates to me. Sorry Sam, just MHO my friend. The bottom of the 7 extends too far below the 0 in my eyes. You may slap me with a tuna if I'm wrong. LOL
