<<Look at all the gold denoms with small dat/large dates, or any of the Seated coins early on in the series... Theres plenty of small date/large date coins out there.>>
You guys are quickly backing me into a corner. What I was thinking of was design differences in elements other than dates. Take the 1969 D quarters. There are 4 different varieties. Two of these, I can pick and identify by touch alone. One is mentioned in the Red Book, but does not have line listings. The other is also obvious but practically unknown to the hobby. I would say they should outrank the close/wide AM cents for desireability, but they are not cents.

So, youre the one putting finger prints on all those coins huh?
How does one spot a variety by touch alone, and is it safe handling a coin like this?

If interested, judge for yourself. It was the types B and M I was refering to and they are on the 1970 D's also.

If those varieties had been in 1982 or something similar comes up in 2032 hold on to your hats!

That is the 4th gotcha for you guys since I trespassed on your topic. Thanks for humoring me whilst I sort of vented.
