    22712D72-86F3-4266-9E83-DE4B1EFCB006.jpeg Hello all! Just started getting into coins. In the process of looking through a numerous amount of pennies dates back to the 1900’s. Anyway, are one, none or both a “small date”? Any and all feedback would be appreciated. Thank you!!

    The curl of the 9 is the key marker, but also a weakly struck LIBERTY.
    The point of the 9 in the small date is sharp and blunt in the LD.
    Your LIBERTY's are well struck and the curl of the 9's does not go around.

    Thanks, I appreciate that. Gonna have to wait until I get better magnification. Although, now that I look closer, I think they are large dates. Thx again for your help..
