cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2270 Posts	Posted 11/11/2006 12:53 am The easiest way for me to spot the small date on the unc coin is the bottom loop of the "9". On the large date it points down at the mint mark and all the small date it curls up to nearly horizontal. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/11/2006 10:40 pm Best thing is to check out coppercoins.com web site where they are not only shown but well explained. The same guy that has that web site has a few books out on just Lincoln Cents. There are not only large pictures of each but several pointers not normally explained. Report this Post to the Staff
