    ...this should help determine the small from large dates.

    Yours is a large date. There are no reported circulation-strike 1960 Philadelphia large over small date cents, but they do exist in proof. Also, 1960 small over large date cents were made in Denver (my avatar and see below) and Philadelphia (proof only).

    "No Reported".....AHHHHH Thats why I posted it.
    There were no 1945 P Mercury Dimes CONECA DDO#5 either untill I discovered it.(and I have several other discovery coins too)
    Proof dies used on circulation coins is not a new thing either.

    I was hoping to get opinions based on the pictures.What is or is not "known" sometimes does not apply.

    I have seen some 1960 cents with a bit of roughness around the date that appears to have come a working hub pulled from the newly-dated Large Date master die when it still had a bit of roughness the date.

    I suspect that they then polished the master die down a bit to remove the roughness, and pulled one or more new working hubs without the roughness from that.

    This may be from the hypothetical rough hub, but I would want to see it before saying that that was the case.

    Looks like classic strike doubling to me.

    Based on the pictures, yours is a large date. I don't see even a hint of a small date in the doubled areas.
