<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prime Mover, post: 1803639, member: 38783&quot;]I posted this in another thread the other day.&nbsp; Not the best pic for the colors, but the coin is still in its proof set holder so tough to get a good pic with the lighting.</p><p><br /></p><p>anyways, take a look at 4 things:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) The general curve (wider) on the &quot;9&quot; as well as the pointy tips on both the inner loop and the bottom.&nbsp; A large date will have much more of a flat, cut off tip on both ends.&nbsp; Also the inner tip of the 9 will point much more towards the 7 (as on this coin) instead of down towards the mint mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) The whole word LIBERTY will be of weaker strike, not just the &quot;Y&quot;, which is what trips up a lot of folks... they&#039;ll see the weak &quot;Y&quot; only and think it a small date</p><p><br /></p><p>3) In addition to LIBERTY, the IGWT on the top will also exhibit a weaker strike which is somewhat seeable in this pic, but not greatly due to the poor lighting and angle.</p><p><br /></p><p>4) the top of the 7 will line up exactly perfectly and straight with the zero.&nbsp; If the 7 is lower, or is slanted in any way, it&#039;s a large date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
