The Large Date is sometimes called the Low 7 variety. If the tops and bottoms of the "7" and "0" are even with each other, you have a small date. If the "7" is visibly lower than the "0" it is a large date. As of 05/2009 Numismedia lists a value of 1-2 cents for a large date specimen, while the much scarcer small-date variety retails for $9 to $20 depending on its condition.
