Good evening, can someone please help me attribute this 1875 5 cent canadian dime? I've been staring at my reference material that you all suggested last week and I cannot make heads or tails of it. What do you think, Large or Small? Thank you for the assistance :-)

Can we see a pix of the obverse please? the whole coin, actually both sides.
there is a chance it is a LD.
----
correction, this is a LD as listed in the 5 cent varieties Charlton on Page 285

Thank you, I will attempt to post an obverse pic with my Dinolite when I get home tonight -- any other opinions are welcomed, thanks again!

5c 1875H Large Date.
The top of the 5 is very curved, and bottom right loop of 5 is fat.
Also the bottom of the 7 is fat.

from

and

from the Charlton catalog

Large Date
from a Heritage auction

This suggests one more metric - compare it to the 5 above CENTS - that 5 is the Small style.
