Coinvirgin Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 4:22 pm * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Coinvirgin is confused as to just which 1970 S LMC is the valuable/ rare ? On page 153 of CPG 6th edition Vol 1 it shows the 1970s large date variety as having a high premium. On page 156 it has 1970s small date variety a MS-65RB valued at $28 ? As well asStrike it Rich with Pocket Change 4 th edition on page 56 it has 1970s large date and shows a approx. value for EF at $3,500. On page 57 1970s - small date ( level 7) Extra fine-$15 On the bottom of the page it goes on to say the "small date" is the " valueable" variety, I'm confused can someone clear this up for me?

RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 4:28 pm In the "Strike it rich with pocket change" 4th edition, PG56 is showing a rare 1970-S DDO, thus the very high premium. PG57 is showing a normal 1970-S small date, which is rarer than a non-DDO 1970-S Large date, thus the small premium. One's a super-rare error worth thousands, the other is a less-common variety worth $20 bucks or so. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinvirgin Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 4:33 pm And is the 1970s small date a DDO? Nothing is mentioned in either guide of it being a DDO. Only how to determine if it is a small date? Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 9:23 pm Roy has it right. I think you are confusing the 1970S LD business strike with a 1970S LD DDO business strike. The DDO is rare calling for a high premium. The 1970S SD business strike is a variety coin (Obverse design intended to be used with the Proof coins only). Low numbers (business strikes) were inadvertently(?) coined with the proof obverse design. As such, it commands a small, but decent, premium. In my estimation, $28 for an MS65 coin is low. There are the Proof varieties as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 11:51 pm My biggest way to help end confusion is to toss the Strike it rich book in the fireplace. The Author is rich, you most likely never will... Edited by Crazyb0 03/04/2018 11:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 12:34 am The 1970-S Small Date (high 7) has a higher value than the Large Date (low 7). I can't say much about the books as I don't own them. I believe this confusion about the these books was posted not too long ago by someone else.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 01:36 am Aha! I believe that's what I was thinking of and it wasn't a different user. Thanks, Doug.
