cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 05/23/2010 12:07 am My grandmother is quite a collector. Through the years she saved a tub of 1970-S cents she got in change. She knew there was a large date and small date, but couldn't tell the difference so she just threw all 1970-S cents into this tub. I offered to search the tub for her. By weight, I estimate this tub contains about 650 (13 rolls) 1970-S cents. I searched the entire tub. The number of 1970-S small dates I found......not a *single* one! Every single one of them were clearly large dates! There were quite a few MS coins in there. I saved the best of them, though I don't think any would grade above about 64RD. I did find a couple of interesting ones though... Here is a 1970-D (OK so not all of them were 70-S ). I'm not sure what's going on at the rim (lamination issue?). It definitely has extra metal there. It also looks like it has lamination issues at the N of IN, just under GOD, and the W of WE. In addition to that, it looks like IN GOD was Struck Through Grease or something. I also found a 70-S large date with some doubling at the date and mintmark. What kind of doubling is it? Anything worth saving? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/23/2010 01:30 am Lamination & lamination peel runs NE/SW on your coin. Imagine a parallel line through that area. The last one is Machine Doubling. Common for the years of 1968-71. Edited by coop 05/23/2010 01:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

Looks like a rim area on the interior of the lamination. Report this Post to the Staff

cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 05/25/2010 01:56 am Thanks coppercoins! Brown copper is a dream to photograph, especially when raw! I'm gonna save the 1970-D with the lamination issue since it looks cool. Since the other one is common, it'll go back in the bucket! I was hoping to find one or two small dates in this lot. They seem to be pretty elusive indeed. Thanks guys for the help Report this Post to the Staff
