Still confused on small date and large date is it just the font style of thee dates or positioning? Is this small date or Large?

Also trying to understand double die is this an double die around the liberty and the T at the end of trust? Or is it just the coin aging? Sorry if the pics aren't great I'm using a no good tablet camera lol

 

Small date. Leg of 7 is even with bottom of 0.

 

Thanks for the quick response! So its just the 7 and 0 have to match up in length that's it?

 

That's a LARGE date 1970S.

 

Does this help?

 

This is a SBA. The best way answer your question is to show you.you 2nd question. Not the best picture quality though

 

The OPs coin is a large date, not a small date

 

You are correct. I should have enlarged the photo better. It is a large date. My mistake.

 

Yes this helps a lot pictures def help thank you!

 

and YES, that does appear to be a 1995 Double Die

 

Hard to teach doubling from one exaple unless it's extreme like a 1955 DD , some MD looks almost like Doubled Die coins and vica versa . I'd say yours is MD .

 

Thanks do you know what a poor mans double die is? Can you possibly tell me how to tell the difference it seems poor mans are more dramatic? Still so much to learn.

 

MD? Sorry still learning

 

rusty, her 1995 is THE 1995 Double Die. The one in the red book.

Great website thank you so much for the help!

 

I'm not sure - maybe bad pic? But "LIBERTY" doubling should be rotated UP (not side to side like OP coin) towards the doubled words "IN GOD"

 

yours is a large date. you can see where the 9 thingy points to and the level of the 7
