DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 07/03/2011 4:51 pm My opinion is a small date that's gotten a few hits to the date and LIBERTY. A find from circulation? I'm no good with grading LMCs accurately--others should chime in soon. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 1:39 pm Large date? I'll have to look at this one again--after the 4th festivities. Report this Post to the Staff
desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 1:45 pm I see a large date also using the end of the inside loop of the "9". VF. Report this Post to the Staff
daviscfad Pillar of the Community United States 4541 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 2:13 pm well I know the picture is not the best but I do not believe its a large date. The tail of the 9 turns in and liberty is week. Also the picture is showing something thats not really there. the 9 is not lower than the 1 it just looks that way in the image for somereason.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 2:37 pm Not disputing anyone else here--I'm just processing what I'm seeing. In this case, I think damage and sorta blurry photos are a source for confusion. Update: daviscfad's new pic confirms things for me. If there were just one "datapoint" that suggests a SD, I'd ascribe it to damage. But here, the inner curl of the 9, the (damaged) 7 top stroke, the length of that downstroke against the 0 strongly suggest a SD to my eyes. The shape of the 0 too. Many of us have seen Coop's great pic, but I'll post it again because it's so useful. I also generated my own comparo pic. Have a Happy Fourth out there!

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 07/07/2011 1:02 pm Sure. I took your second closeup, enhanced it, comparing to a confirmed SD Yours is a SD, just banged up a little--plenty of evidence of that on the obv. Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 07/07/2011 5:18 pm First pics were taken on an angle and I see why BadThad said LD. Pics by DV look completely different Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19957 Posts	Posted 07/07/2011 10:01 pm Yep, it's a small date. Exactly one of many reasons why you should NEVER take your pics at angles (like the originals). We can only guess given the info originally provided. Lincoln Cent Lover!
