    So, I stashed my 1960's away until I thought I could figure out which one's were small dates.

    Am I correct that three of the below four are SD's?

    Well now . . . that's nice to get confirmation that I know my way around 1960's cents. (Finally!)

    Thanks!

    Agreed, they all look like small dates. The easiest way to tell is the 6, there's a huge and obvious difference between the small and the large date.

    How I've finally figured it out is this: draw a line straight down from the end of the top of the six. If it hits the far right of the circle part of the six, it's a LD. If it hits further in, it's a SD.

    And so I think of the above pix, the bottom right is a LD, and the other threes are SD's.

    Are you sure? (yes, the original pic) . . . the one in the lower right looks different to me -- both the '6', and also the '0' looks bigger than the other three

    I am sorry. You are correct when I look at my other right.
