RCC New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/30/2012 04:01 am Hi everyone I am relatively new to coin collecting (namely lincoln cents). I recently went through a couple hundred dollars in pennies and I think I may have found a 1970 S small date, a possible 1988 reverse 89, and a 1991 reverse error/double die. I am aware that the 1970 S cent is commonly mislabeled which is why I am asking for everyone's opinion on this. Also the same being with the 1988 reverse 89. I would also like to have everyone's opinion on the 1991 reverse double die as well. If I am wrong on any of them feel free to correct me like I said I am relatively new.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/30/2012 05:13 am to CCF. The 1970 is a large date. I can't tell on the other photos needs to be close up shots and more clear. On the 1991 what do you think is the error? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
RCC New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/30/2012 06:32 am On the 1991 the C and N in cent is doubled and also a few other letters in America which I show in the picture after it. Like I said I am new to this so any help is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

papatony Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 05/30/2012 07:43 am I agree with John1, with the pics here I don't think the 1988 has the 1989 reverse, on the 1991 could be Machine Doubling. Clearer and closer pics would be a help !! You at a great forum. There are many knowledgeable People here willing to help. They have helped me TONS . I still have trouble with the 1970-S Small/Large dates. Report this Post to the Staff
numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 05/30/2012 09:03 am RCC. The 1970 is a LD. The 1988 is probably not an RDV 006. Hard to tell. The 1991 is most likely Machine Doubling. Now that you're on the forum, you'll learn things quickly. Lots of good folks & info here. If you can spring for a digital microscope they really take great closeup pix and you'll be able to get lots of help with your coin questions. Report this Post to the Staff

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 05/30/2012 10:47 am The 70 is definitely a Large Date. The 88- Although the pic of the designers initials are small. I think I see the serriff on the "G" which would make it the 89 Reverse. Again...with the picture it is hard to tell so to get a 100% accurate assessment closer pictures are needed. 1991-impossible to tell with the pictures provided. So the only one I am 100% on is the Large Date. A Report this Post to the Staff
DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 05/30/2012 7:09 pm Ditto the 1970s large 1991 all I could make out was MD on the "C" in CENT 1988 really need a closer shot on the "FG" it looks like a possibility but can't enlarge it enough to be sure. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15509 Posts	Posted 05/30/2012 7:53 pm with all the above. 70-S is for sure a Large Date. It would be helpful if you posted separate threads on each coin ... so we could better address your questions.
