    Small Date; No Shoulder Folds.

    See how the tops and bottoms of "II" in "Elizabeth II" are flared out, where in your previous example (I believe the 1954 penny) the "II" were much straighter.

    This is another way to tell the 'shoulder fold' from the 'no shoulder fold' varieties.

    SF = straight "II"

    NSF = flared out ends of "II".

    One of the markers of small date is narrow rims.
