1960 Cent. . . small or LARGE date?. . . 1 1

[cobymordet]

I will apologize in advance for wasting your time that could be better spent on verifying the next, latest and greatest find, but I can't get the 1960 L/S differentiation.  I got four campers that are most likely Large date varieties, but I want to be sure before I throw them at squirrels.

I’m seeing all Large. All large with impacted upper 6’s.

    Your coins are all large dates.  Here is a small date. 

    Note the shorter upper portion of the "6" whose upper right doesn't reach the right side of the "6" and the smaller space inside the "0".

Easy way to tell.   
If the zero is round, it is a Large Date, if it is oval, it is a Small Date.   
All yours are round so they are Large  Dates.

Thanks, I figured that was likely, but I get brain cramps if I think too hard about it.  Next up, 21 1970-S's. . . lol, relax I learned my lesson.

First sort for 1970-S cents: put aside all “high and tight” mint marks for a closer look. Low mint marks are almost never small dates.

 “high and tight” 

That was my hairstyle when I was a kid. With a pompadour in front. Of course, that was when I had enough hair for a pompadour. (Not my picture. Just one I grabbed from the web.)

In my high school, they were strict about hair and its length. I went "high and tight" with a very short flat top and sides shaved down using a #1/2.
