bronze mad Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Is it a large six? i'm not used to handling many of this year for comparison! Quote
Colin G. Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 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 6This 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.

He filtered it out and offered me the entire rest of the lot at a fair price so we were both happy! Quote
bronze mad Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 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. Quote
bronze mad Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 ive tried to do another photo but having difficulties getting sharpness, so it might be small as f**klooking at the date numerals they all look like they have been re-cut? what do you guys think? Quote
