wvyankee New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 02/05/2010 08:11 am Question regarding the clear as mud small vs. large date. I have several of these and one in particular caught my eye last night. The numbers all line up, but the Liberty is not weak. Does it necessarily have to? I am going to try to get a pic of it and then maybe it will be easier to evaluate. Report this Post to the Staff

In the meantime, we've been over this ground, before, recently, and there are multiple threads on the 1970-S diagnostics in the Modern US Variety & Error Coins forum, in just the past several weeks or so, you might want to look into.

RPT Pillar of the Community United States 920 Posts	Posted 02/05/2010 11:13 am I think this guide is really good in showing the difference. The shape of the 9 is also a key. http://www.thecentproject.com/sort1970.php Report this Post to the Staff
cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2270 Posts	Posted 02/05/2010 5:25 pm About 2% of mint set small dates don't have the weak liberty. It is weaker than the average large date but the letters are well defined and struck up. I don't have much experience with the other small dates so can't speak to them except to say at least the vast majority have weak lettering. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
