<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 132307, member: 68&quot;]If you look at the strenght of the strike in LIBERTY you are going to miss some small dates.&nbsp; About 3% of sm dt mint set coins have a well defined LIBERTY. Looking at the height of the 7 works if you have a good eye but this one fools me frequently.&nbsp; There is no crease in the 7 on the small date and some swear by this but I don&#039;t have enough experience to know if it always works or not.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The easiest wat for me is to look at the bottom loop of the 9.&nbsp; On the large date this points down toward the mint mark and on the small date it is nearly horizontal.&nbsp; This works every time for the mint state coins.&nbsp; While it does work for the proofs as well the difference is less dramatic.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>OK.&nbsp; changed it back.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
