Coop has some great pics that illustrate the differences between large date and small date.
I don't have them handy, but you'll find them easily with a search. This is clearly a large date.

I'm wishing....I'm afraid of the truth! I would love to find one in this condition.

I know...I know...great information here...I'm learning great stuff. Just thought I'd throw out this pic. I'm still looking for the small date in the wild!

HoosierDaddy,keep the faith! I am still looking for a small date in the wild also but I am seeing a good run of top quality 1970 S cents here lately. There seems to be a "second great coin jar dump" taking place. A lot of top quality 60's and 70's in my last 4 boxes.

I like that "second great coin jar dump" I think that I missed the first one, so I'm glad I can be part of the second!

I know...I've got about 10 really nice Large date examples like the one above. Just to be safe, I went through my entire stash of 1970S cents last night. Using my usb scope, it took a little while. While using the fullscreen application, there was only a couple of double-takes on my part. Each time there was a little ding on the "9" which changed the direction and made it point to the center of the "7". But with the scope I can see it clearly! The search continues!

Good luck on your quest!  A few collectors here have found small dates in circulation. I've never been so lucky. |

I see them fancy large dates described on ebay all the time as small dates. I'd rather find one then two then three...and so on in the wild! |

You might also take a look at dealer's "bargain bins", where they cut coins out of mint sets. Small dates are easiest to find in mint sets--I have found several.

Now that takes all the fun out of it. I would rather find one in the wild!
