Forgot all about this Box of about 70 rolls of 1960 Philly Cents un-opened since they were "tubed"
back in 1960. I bought them all at face from an estate many years back. Kinda interesting cracking one open
after 48 years since sealed. I will crack one more open in 2010 for 50 a year celebration. hehe...

Question, Small date of Large date?

Sorry as I focus mainly on other areas of Numismatics

Cheers......

I think the top left coin of the four is small date, the other three are large date, I am not 100% sure of that though, so see what everyone else thinks.

those last four can't be from the same original roll as they are diiferent colors- just kidding

. Very nice hoard- the ones shown are large dates.

i think they are large date. correct me if i`m wrong.

Here is the small date on a proof for 1960

And a large date BU coin

That top left may be confusing me because of the shadows.

The characteristics of the small date vs large date 1960 Lincolns is in the 6 where the top part of the Large Date 6 extends farther over than on the Small Date 6.

Snmall on Left and Large on Right.

All four coins appear to be large date coins.

Very neat find though!

Thank God they're LD. Maybe my 6 rolls of SD will retain the value now that you won't be dumping on ebay. LOL

I found a bank bag of 500 of those in my Dad's coin box. All large dates. Look for them in circulation sometime soon.
