What date is big or small a date on the currency?
Question: I see different descriptions about currency and the currency has a date description, large or small. What does it mean, how do I know what to look for? How do I know which is best?
My answer: descriptions that refer to talk about different species of a particular currency type.For different reasons to die that hit the coins changed. in the case of large and small coins dates, date modified, and the result was the date was a tiny bit smaller than the one that was tiny bit or larger.
The rest of your question is difficult to answer because of the difference between large date coins coins date less don't mean to be the same as with different types of currencies.So it all depends on what kind of currency are talking about.
Most of the time difference between a small coin currency date is still very large date is sometimes difficult even for numismatists. Paz tell the difference, they depend on external specifies the service to make the determination.

Since I don't know what type of currency you are referring to, I will use the St. Lincoln 1960D as an example.

Take a look at the 9. Note that within the loop on the 9 is smaller than the small date range.
