<p>[QUOTE="tpsadler, post: 2907195, member: 9860"]For me the 9 in 1970 is the key to this identification of the Small versus the Large date. The weak "Liberty" can be a little deceiving especially with the Proofs. I always look for the location of the tail on that 9 . On a large date the 9 will be chopped off and will point to the bottom of the 7. The small date's 9 this tail will be tapered with the end pointing towards the middle of the 7. This variety can be difficult to see and is best viewed with a 10x loupe or larger. The one shown in your photo is a Large Date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
