[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 912951, member: 21705"]Definitely Large Date. I remember looking at tons shortly after I started collecting while they were still common in circulation. I don't remember them being that close. It seemed like the Small Date was close to O shaped in my memory. Anyhow, a backup is to draw a line from the top of the 1 to the top of the 0 and if the top of the 9 lines up, it's a Small Date. If it's higher, then it's a Large Date. Plan C is to look at the loop of the 9. The Large Date is a little more closed and the Small Date is a little more open.
