is it worth it to purchase the 1970-S small date?


To be honest, it is hard for me to even tell the difference in the small date. As a completionist, I had to get one but I opted for a graded one and that cost me $50. Only you can decide if it is worth it. I got mine from Old Pueblo Coin online and debated on spending the money but I don't regret it. Sure, I could have gotten alot of other coins for that amount but it's done and paid off so now I can focus on other coins. My hardest part is deciding on which collection since I have so many going on at once.

I mean, 50 bucks isn't too bad! I've seen them going for 70-80 or closer to 100 sometimes. That is an amount I would not pay.

But yeah, I dunno. Perhaps I'll just keep it in mind. And I think you are right, Seamonkey. It's really hard to tell. I can tell the difference more so on the 1960 small/large date varieties over the 70-S.

The prices of the 70-S small date have been going up consistently from year to year. It would be better to get one now than wait if you are going to add one to your album.

Thank you, my friends.

I've had a minor set back unfortunately with some of the coins I've had recently. I basically had to return the 14-S and 24-D due to financial constraints.

Be that as it may, I will obtain these coins eventually for good. So, the 1914-S and 24-D are the only coins I am missing now. After that, I will consider my album "complete" at least within my obtainable means.

I recently obtained these two. The 1960 small date was the only coin I've been missing out of the 1960's varieties and I finally have it. It didn't break the bank, either. I was able to get all of them in a set for around 10 dollars.

I had the large date, as this is way more common, but this is a "BU" upgrade for me.

I feel kind of silly making some purchases that I thought I could squeak by with, but sometimes life throws you a curveball.

Kind of crazy the amount of progress I've made in this album though in less than a year.
