Can someone help me and determine if this is a 1970 S-Small Date? I'm just getting into pennies and don't have another for comparison. Thanks.  |

Sorry, that's a large date. I'm assuming you meant small date in your op.

I agree, definitely a 1970S Large Date Cent.
Hopefully coop will be along shortly with his great pics for a comparison.

If anyone has a comparison pic, that would be great. Increase my knowledge a bit. I did look in the Red Book but the pictures are almost identical. |

That does John...my coin pictured looks identical as far as sizing as the post you put up John. Are we sure this isn't a small date? I'd hate to put it back into circulation without knowing for sure.
I've read up some and my picture sure does have some of thee same characteristics of a small date i.e. even 7, sharp to a point 9, and spacing seems to be right on the S.
Still, I'm no expert.

Save up $50 and buy a nice MS example. That way you have one and you'll never need to ask again. Plus, these hold their value, if you ever get in a pinch for money, you can sell it.

The inner tail of the 9 looks SD, but the 7 and 0 look LD
I guess I agree with LD
