Liberty fairly well struck.

 

This is the OP’s coin.

Large date sorry.

 

I have to take the full picture with my phone now Im on the computer.

 

Large date.

 

Looks like a Large date to me. The 9 just doesn't curl in quite enough. Look at the comparison photo @Michael K posted. The difference is obvious.

 

That date is tough one! Thanks

It is subtle. But with most of them being LD's, when you actually get one where the 9 curls all the way around, you can see it.
Also, the point of the bottom of the 9 on the SD is pointy,
on the LD it is blunt.

 

Doh!! I didn't even notice that. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

Thanks for the information very useful.I have 182 more rolls to go.

It’s funny that everybody uses a different combination of PUPs to make their call.
I use:
1. Height of the seven
2. Curl of the nine
3. Slant down and to the left of the bottom alignment of the 970 for a large date
With these “tells” I can call it even from poor images.
Hope this helps,
Reed.
