I apologize for asking the same question over and over, but I still haven't gotten the hang of the difference between the 1970-S small date and the large date. The one on the far right looks suspicious to me but as I said I can't tell the difference. I suspect they're all large date but I'd rather know for sure before I file them away with my ordinary pennies.
The middle one defiantly not. Can't tell on the other two. Look at the curl on the nine in the date. If the end points to the mint mark them they are large dates.

The odds of finding a 70-S SD in circulation may be much much lower than you expect.
Out of looking at 3 or a dozen 70-S the odds are minute.
The vast majority of these came in mint sets, some do get found in circulation but it's not often.
Reality is that even if you had thousands of circulated 70-S to look through, it would be very lucky to find one.

I realize that but I've found coins in circulation that I never dreamed would still be out there. None of them were as scarce as the '70-S small date but still, there are still some out there and I won't give up hope.
A good chance to cherry one is looking at every 70-S mint set that you come across in shops or auctions.
The mint sets aren't cheap because the 70-D halves are valuable.
Also look at dealers singles in flips, they break up those mint sets to get the 70-D halves (only came in the sets) and they flip the other coins and put them their stock and don't always check the cents for the SD.
What? Why wasn't it nice? I wanted another opinion so I showed him the pennies when I stopped by to buy some wheat pennies and a few other coins.
Let me help you out....nothing wrong with getting "another opinion"...but announcing it is like saying "Thanks for your help, but I'll ask somebody else because I don't trust yours" It's just something better left unsaid...especially when half of our guys know more about varieties than 99% of the coin dealers out there.

So what your saying is the lady I bought all my 1969S mint sets from I need to check and see if she has any 1970S sets. Sounds like something to do at lunch tomorrow.

YES! And if you don't find a SD you can also look for the 70-S RPM-1 because they are also in the mint sets and it's a nice RPM.
