'Fraid not.

 

Can you tell me how to spot difference? My 7 and 0 same height so not sure how

 

The 9 pointing direction as shown by @Michael K is key, but there is another diagnostic, too. The word "LIBERTY" on the obverse is nearly always quite weak, especially at the top of the word.

 

Yes. I forgot to post that.

 

Makes me wonder what a very early strike small date looks like.

 

I think mine is between MDS and EDS

Very clean, neat strike. It's just softer in the central parts of the obverse.

Here is one from coinfacts that looks like a proof:

MS-67 RD. This is about as early as it gets I think

 

Out of curiosity, how much can this coin sell for?

 

Yeah but that proof isn't a SD.

 

Yes that toner looks like an LD.
Very nice LIBERTY on Evan8 small date.

 

I kinda thought the same thing. It is just what was pictured for the small date on coin facts. And they have it listed as MS-67 RD, which I dont think it is RD either. But, PCGS is never wrong lol

 

I LITERALLY laughed out loud. No metaphor.

 

Larry Pelf would laugh too lol

 

Stop it, man! You're killing me here! I'm gonna pee myself. Can't ... catch ... breath.

 

My word... how does environmental damage with discoloration cause that grade? Freaking LOL!
