    Hello all,

    I am pretty new to the forums and coin collecting and was reading about the 1960 small/large date pennies. I went through the copper pennies I had and pulled these 4 out as being potentially small dates. After looking through $58 worth of pennies my eyes are shot. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!

    PS: I hope the pictures work out. My camera doesn't take very good macro pictures and I just got a new scanner. This is the first try with the new scanner. 1960 small date.jpg

    They look to be small date. On the large date, the curve of the "6" will hang over the loop slightly.

    Thanks! Glad I was right. I was starting to doubt my eyesight after all those pennies :)

    That one is very good. Also, coppercoins.com is another great site for Lincoln cents.
