    I’ve seen the comparison photos, but I just wanted confirmation from more experienced members. Is this a small date variety? It looks like the 9 is curled up towards the 7. Thanks

    Small date is also high 7 so the top of the 7 is even with the top of the 0. Looks like a low 7 to me...LD...

    Large Date. How to tell....is the 7 is lower than 9 and 0.

    It's been a while. This was Kurt's favorite subject.

    While it does look like the 9 has some curl, the 7 is low, it needs to be high.
    And LIBERTY is well struck. I also think LD.
    As for Kurt, he refused to acknowledge that a slabbed SD was mislabeled as it had every single LD marker and not 1 single SD marker. He claimed that it was a proof
    and it was still an SD. But I put up a picture of a proof SD that had ALL the markers and this slabbed coin was 100% LD.
    Being well educated in coins and being stubborn don't always go hand in hand.
