Small Date

Edit*... I think I got it wrong

 

Finally thanks sir!

 

But let's see what others see. I also look at the shape of the 9. Pointy is large flat is small.

Isn't it the other way around? I think its a large date, and I won't be 72 until next Tuesday.

I think your grandson is correct.

Chris

PS. I'll be 72 next Tuesday.

 

Looks like the large date to me.

 

Oops.. Time for my coffee.

Perdonae por me error @Jesus Quiroz

 

Large date. My easy way of telling it is a large date is the 7 is lower than the 9 and 0

 

Largie; I find them easy to identify with the 70 being lower than the 9, and the diagonal line from the bottoms of the 9, 7, 0 is how I confirm my usual disappointment. Both easy enough to see once you get the hang of it

 

The 'O' is easier for some. Small date is 'cateye' shape, the Large date is a large oval.

Yes, grandson is a good one to remember in the will. Jim

 

The small date will have weak LIBERTY but should not be used as a conclusive id marker for it.

 

Absolutely large.
The 9 doesn't curl far enough around, the 7 is low not high, LIBERTY is well struck.
