Is this 1928 5 centavo a small date or large date variety?

Thanks for the help.

I'm pretty sure that is a small date. The difference is the thickness of the font, not the actual size(height and width). The thicker(large) is very noticeable. For lack of a better way to describe it, it kinda looks like the difference between writing with a worn Sharpie versus a ball point pen.

Small date is good! This is a 10 cent junk bin score. It's going to e-bay today but I'm not confident enough to call it a small date.

Should I let the market decide?

The Krause book says a 1928 large date is worth 11.00
a small date is worth 30.00

Completed e-bay sales show they go for .99-3.00 plus shipping.

who would pay between 10-30 dollars for this? It's a mystery.
