Small date/ Lg Date stuff always throws me. I am having trouble nailing it down definitively?

Yah or Nay?

    Your coin is a small date with die chips, very common. The RPM is very prominent on the FS-101 variety, and I don't see it at all in your pics.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Yes, die chips is the conclusion I see as well.

    No hint of a D/D

    Thank you for confirming.

    I find an easy way to ID the small vs lg date is to look at the area of the circle formed by the 6 in the small date. It is just about the same size as the area formed by the 0, again in the small date.
    In the large date the area formed by the circle of the 0 is much larger than the area formed by the circle of the 6 in the large date.
    Easy to ID the variety quickly and easily this way.

    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Having cherrypicked several of these, I can tell you that when you find one, there's absolutely no question as to what it is. It's a spectacular variety and I hope you find one!

    Here is what you find when you "buy the book".

    Yes... but the die chip was what had me confused. It was not in the book but on Variety Vista... sometimes you need a second opinion :wink:
