1842 O small date quarter?

I'm guessing not. But I can't tell the difference. It's like when I was younger and went to the bar and they had that computer game where you would try to take the two photos and find what's different. I was horrible at those also. Wanted to get a second Eye before I listed this thing. Thanks!

Without close up pics of the lower third of the Obverse of the coin and due to the amount of wear on coin, it will be a challenge to tell if it is a "Small Date" or "Large Date" Variety. If you can line up a straight edge on the left and right sides of the Date, then count the Denticles underneath, you have a fair shot of telling which. The "Small Date" specimens should have 11 Denticles spanning the exact width of the Date and Large Date specimens should have 12 1/2 Denticles spanning the exact width of the Date. There are other diagnostics that can be used to tell which one you have, so check out the link below.
