Best of the roll. By the way, I know it's a large date.   |

Cool coin. IMHO MS-64 at best.

MS-63 because of numerous hits. Bet you wish that 7 was a bit taller.  |

Bet you wish that 7 was a bit taller. I bought 2 rolls of these knowing they were Large Dates, but hopeful that a Small Date, DDO, or RPM may have slipped through the crack. I'm trying to put together a BU roll of '70 S Small Dates, but I only have 8 so far. It's going to be a tough row to hoe. |

wow...finding 8 already - is no small accomplishment, let alone BU condition. I have never found a small date 70'S. I am trying to fill two sets for ay grandsons. the 70's small date and the 82 varieties are the only LD/SD varieties in the album that I am filling.
nice accomplishments - for you...

wow...finding 8 already - is no small accomplishment, let alone BU condition. I think some clarification is in order here. I purchased 7 of these from a reputable dealer in California. My brother examined them and verified they were Small Dates (he lives in CA). I purchased the eighth from the coin shop around the corner for $1.00. The dealer didn't know what it was. I tried to point out that it was a Small Date and the clerk asked me if was talking about the 1982 Small Date and said the owner would have marked the 2x2 if it was an unusual variety. I did not find eight BU 1970 S Small Date LMC's roll hunting, nor did I mean to imply that I did. |

I was fortunate to trade with another member to acquire a bunch, but it cost me a lot of silver. It was worth it to me but I still only have like 23 coins. At the shops/shows they are expensive, typically $35 and up. Good luck with your BU roll. If you're like me, you'll run out of cash for the project before it can be done. |

If they are at least MS63 RD, I'll take all I can get at that price. I don't ever plan to sell them, so by the time I'm dead and my family finds where I buried them it should all work out well. |

So your not taking them with you...the coins I mean. Ambitious goals folks. I have my one and am satisfied for the moment. I have a few BU LDs too - a gift from a member here. I won't be burying them though but hopeful that they wont be cashed in for face value. That would be a bummer!
