View Full Version : 1970S Small Date
This must be about the 10th one I have posted without success. However, I feel much more confident about this BWR find this morning. It has, I believe, all the characteristics listed on the Lincoln Cent Recourse (http://www.lincolncentresource.com/smalldates/1970Ssmalldate.html) site. Hope I'm right this time!! Thanks for looking.

Congrats!
Great find and extremely difficult to find in circulation.
FYI: I know there are a few ways how to determine a large from small date 1970S but
the best way is just turn the coin upside down. (IMHO!)
The long leg of the seven will always extend way above the O on the large date cent.
* My 2 cents worth (LOL!)

Your Welcome!
Here is your coin turned upside down
Even across from the 7 and O.
No Large Date 1970S will look like this when turned upside down.
Congrats again!

One other way:
I believe I read somewhere that a LD always has a crease in the corner but, a SD does not.

A crease in the corner of what/where?
A crease in the corner of what/where?
I remember that also and he is referring to a crease between the horizontal and vertical bars of the 7.

I am with Chuckster125 on his assessment, that is not an easy find.
