<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3775223, member: 66"]I've never liked the use of the terms "near" and "far" because "How near is near?" "How far is far?" Whenever possible I like to give some kind of a quick way to visually judge the distances. It is also helpful if you only have one coin and you can't make a comparison between them. My description for the small date is if you look at the width of the base of the 2, you could fit the base of another 2 in between it and the rim (see above). On the large date the distance from the base of the 2 to the rim is about HALF the width of the base. (again see above.) So if the distance from the base of the 2 to the rim is equal to the width of the base of the 2 it's a small date. If it is half the width of the base of the 2 it's a large date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
