HoosierDaddy Pillar of the Community United States 1164 Posts	Posted 10/23/2012 8:16 pm I have a 1970S that looks like the right "9" but a low 7. It's in a plastic Mint set. The cello plastic type. I tried getting a good pic but the plastic produces too much glare. Any thoughts on small dates being found in these sets. This set has the 1970S cent, nickel, dime(clad), quarter(clad), a 1970 (P), and a white octogon shaped mint token. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

freeman Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 10/24/2012 7:49 pm It is possible to find them in a mint set. A few months ago I took a gamble and bought eight 1970 mint sets from a coin shop in hopes to find at least one. I found three. I returned to the shop and bought six 1970 proof sets and found one small date set. At some point I believe that I posted them within this forum. Report this Post to the Staff

albertharris Pillar of the Community United States 901 Posts	Posted 10/25/2012 12:10 am Not sure if it was the 60 or 70 small date was issued early then changed. All my 70 small dates have weak "LIBERTY". Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 10/25/2012 3:42 pm Albert Many do show a weak liberty but not all. So that one attribute is not completely reliable. Hoosier Even in the cello you should be able to tell. Concentrate on the bottoms of the 7 and 0 (their alignment) Pic. courtesy of what's his face on here :) Report this Post to the Staff
