<p>[QUOTE="Bill in Burl, post: 2289784, member: 23692"]As a rule of thumb, you can almost always delineate a LD from a small date by taking a file card or piece of paper and run it vertically down along the outer left hand edge of the N in Cent if you can't tell immediately from the font used. If that line intersects the upper part of the 9, it is almost a large date. Yours is the exception, as all SD/LL cents had the last 2 digits manually struck on the working dies ... as such, the gap between the 8 & 9 is different than the LD's or SL/SD's. Yours is definitely a small date and nice grade. BTW, ALL small leaves Reverses HAVE to be small date as well. There are no large date, small leaf coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your SD Reverse is called the "low 91" and is ID'd as Turner R1P-S3 and is mated with Obverse O2Y-S1 and the Reverse was used on 37% of the SD/LL Obv 3 1891 cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
