was hoping this was a small date and then I found what looks to me like doubling (but so much has) in the date, on the 7 particularly. so two questions then. thanks for any and all help
Appears to be an LD. The 9 doesn't curl around far enough. Other markers for the LD are a well struck LIBERTY which yours has. Also, the point of the 9 will be blunt, and on the business strike 70-S small date it will be sharp. Someone else will help on the doubling.
