MorganMatt New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 09/26/2011 4:53 pm Thanks for the thoughts. What exactly makes the difference between a small and a large date on these? Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/26/2011 4:58 pm The upper part of the 6 on a SD doesn't stretch far enough to make a straight line up and down to the outside of the loop. The top of the 9 on a SD is level with the top of the 1, while in the LD it goes slightly higher. Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/26/2011 5:30 pm A couple other points - the large date has a very round 0, while the small date is more of a vertical ellipse. Also, the large date 1 is tapered, and very rectangular on the small date. Side by side they're more obvious (there is an overall size difference). Report this Post to the Staff
hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 09/26/2011 5:35 pm Upon further inspection and after reading the other posts, I think I was wrong the first time, I think it is a large date. Still not sure though. Whilst I agree with the points made by previous posters, the 6 just looks really short for a large date. Must be the picture. Report this Post to the Staff
BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 09/26/2011 6:27 pm It is definitely a large date. I have been working with the small dates extensively for the last 4 or 5 months, trying to figure what the mint did and why the changed from the small date to the large date in that year. There is much more to tis stroy than meets the eye. BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff
