jbuck Moderator United States 188853 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 4:27 pm Quote: when you see a small date, it's very obvious. Yup. Keep a large date on hand. Compare every find to it. When you get a small date, the difference will jump out at you.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96674 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 10:10 pm The large date is easier to see because there are several ways to id it. 1. the 7 is lower that the top of the 9 and 0 2. there is a crease in the corner of the 7 3. the loop of the 9 points down to the MM (the small date - the loop points to the center of the 7) 4. the end of the 9 is a blunt end (the small date is more pointy) 5. the 0 is tall and narrow on the large date (the small date it is round) Collecting since 1972.

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5618 Posts	Posted 06/20/2023 11:09 pm This Coin I Personally invested Much time Researching the Coins Details. How could a Person 100% be Certain about the 1970-S Small Date, or Large Date..... I found that On a SMALL dated 1970-S Lincoln Cent, The Main PUP I Noted Here on the CCF, was the 9. The Digit on the SMALL Date has Both Ends of the 9 POINTED. The LARGE Date Cent has Rounded Ends.................. Report this Post to the Staff
