I thought it was a large but with my glasses and hearing about small dates that had large date stamped over makes me Wonder.
Large Date I'm sure someone will post a picture of the difference if I can't find it ... the 2 LARGE lower part of 2 is straight towards the base. the 2 Small lower part of 2 is bowed out/curved towards the base. the 8s are also totally different once you get used to it.
