Is it a large six? i'm not used to handling many of this year for comparison!

Awkward to tell from that image, it is the 6 in relation to the other digits that determines the type. On your example the end of the tail of the 6 is not very clear, to determine position, although the size of the loop would indicate it likely to be the Large 6

This is another variety that is still uncertain, the large 6 is not as obvious as other larger digits, and may well be the result of a recut digit making aspects of the digit look slightly enlarged.

Yes, the 'fat 8' of 1862 is clearer - I remember when a dealer friend of mine paid £200 for a large box of coins (mostly in Whitman folders) at W&W just to get one. He filtered it out and offered me the entire rest of the lot at a fair price so we were both happy!

the top of the six is very faint, but up near the exgergue, and it is much thicker than my other example that i have, this is why i bought it. I will try and upload a sharper picture, what exactly does large 6 mean? taller? fatter? I have seen recut 6 which is probably what mine is.

ive tried to do another photo but having difficulties getting sharpness, so it might be small as f**k

looking at the date numerals they all look like they have been re-cut? what do you guys think?
