coin 1

coin 2

i see this problem so often when i view an auction for this
coin it seems. i guess it is a common date and not worth
being accurate :-|

which is the large date? the one with the date being spread out
more? the large space between the numerals?

thanks. i am trying to find out for sure online... like a breen description...

i found the number of it "Breen-6561" but when i google it
i do not find the information..

    In a side by side comparison, the difference is easy to see. One of the easiest ways to tell is there is a wide space between the 8 and the 4 in the small date variety.

    thanks perry. i thought that was the right answer
    and just wanted to verify it with someone else.

    i start doubting myself when i see auction descriptions like that.
