It's a hard one, I wonder how other systems might handle that. My initial feeling is that beginning (1900) seems better than end (1999) - but others might disagree. From the documentatoin: https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd008a.html Determination of dates for 008/07-10 is made concurrently with the choice of code for 008/06. See the section above on 008/06 for examples and input conventions related to coded date information. The use of fill characters in 008/07-10, although possible, is discouraged since the data in Date 1 is used for retrieval and duplicate detection in many systems. When fill is used in 008/07-10, all four positions must contain the fill character.
