Came across this in a roll. What do you think? Small Date?
Thanks in advance for your help. :smile

I zoomed in but it's blurry that way. You need a better picture, but from what I can see I think it's a large date.

 

Definitely Large date. I use the dropped 7 as a marker on these bad boys.

 

I was trying to see the loop on 9, but saw the 7 is low so I think it's large date.

 

It's a large date. No question about it. The LIBERTY is strong, the loop of the 9 is not curved inward, the crease of the 7 is sharp, and the 7 is beneath the the 0.


Always good to check though, right?

Keep searching though! These are difficult for people to identify, but one of the points given about the small date is they have a very weak LIBERTY. The large date usually has a strong one, but the small one never does.

 

You can't go by the word liberty to tell if it's a large or small date..I remember when I said the same response and RLM responded that he has seen 70-s small dates that had the word "Liberty" look/come from what would be on a 70-s L/D
