The Small date variety has the tops of the 8's - especially the first one - a full letter stroke shorter than the 2, and airspace exceeding the widest width of a letter stroke between the closest points of any two number pairs. Looking at Heritage images, the difference between the two is obvious when you compare them. Report this Post to the Staff
