[QUOTE="danielf, post: 674312, member: 16708"]Group, I have come across a number of times when the SCWC seems to mention some aspect of a coin but does not give enough details or photos to identify the coin in hand. This is often the case with "large date" / "small date" situations. There are times that I think that the information is there to be found but I am simply not searching hard enough. Sometimes that is true. Other times, I just think that my eyes are not sharp enough. I have a Great Britain KM755 penny from 1879 (I also have an 1891 in better condition for comparison) that SCWC has variations involving [FONT=Verdana]small or large dates and incuse or raised lines on wreath. For the life of me, I cannot find the wreath that they are referring to let alone determine if the lines are incused or raised. The KM794.2 penny says "high sea level" - in comparison to what?
