just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/20/2013 12:56 pm Large date = low S Small date = high S I always wonder who spends so much time looking at every coin to see all those little, tiny, small differences. Wide AM, Close AM, small dates, large dates, etc. And yet companies like Whitman and Dansco and all the rest make is so you need them to fill an Album Report this Post to the Staff

It bears no relation to the date type. Small dates are actually quite dramatic when you find one. Report this Post to the Staff

Just pull up some past threads on the subject and you will find lotsa useful info, including great pictures from coop. Report this Post to the Staff
Bassmaster Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 02/20/2013 6:09 pm I found two 1970 s pennies the other day and one looks like the s is closer to the 9. What could this be? The other one looks like the coin in the picture above. Edited by Bassmaster 02/20/2013 6:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

In 1970, mintmarks were punched individually in each die. Since over 690 million 70-S cents were minted, that amounts to thousands of dies and potential mintmark positions.
