1960 penny

[Tridmn]

Found a large date 1960 penny. Did compare to small 1960 penny I found. What's the difference between the two?

Yes, that is a Large Date.

There are several ways of telling the difference. The two that I use is to draw a line across the top of the date from the 1 to the 0. If the top of the 9 lines up, it is a small date. If the top of the 9 is higher, it is a large date. Also on a small date, the 0 is more oval shape, on a large date it is round.

Would you get something like that graded

Here is the Variety Plus link that shows the differences.

No. The cost would far exceed the value of the coin. You can buy a 1960D in uncirculated mint shape for about $1.00 and yours is nowhere close to that condition.

Gotcha. Appreciate the advice.
