Comparing it to PCGS CoinFacts I would say it is a large date.

Definitely a Large Date
It's a large date. Nice looking XF though.
Your image (top) versus PCGS references at APPROXIMATELY the same scale.
It's worth around $400 graded, probably $300-350 raw.
thank you
This coin is an obvious counterfeit.
What are the tells on it?
"To Be Esteemed Be Useful" - 1792 Birch Cent --- "I personally think we developed language because of our deep need to complain." - Lily Tomlin
The obverse does look a little weird, but I just figured that was the crappy pics. The reverse looks ok.
Not something that I currently collect. And I am not, repeat NOT, challenging your 'expertise/conclusion'.
That said, would it be possible for you to share ONE of the more definitive 'tells' that indicate counterfeit? I would like to get better at this aspect of collecting, and consider this to be a learning opportunity.
Edited to Add: @WinLoseWin beat me to it.
thank you for helping me
