1970 S Small Date?

here is a reference site:

can you get a clear closeup of the date? but looks like large date

Someone in this forum once told me that the tail of the 7 has to be above both the 1 and the 0, sorry to say this one is a large date. Keep looking though, there are treasures to be found...

Thanks, I'm going through coins all the time and acquiring errors.

large date. There are many resources on this forum for identifying SD varieties.
It's always good to purchase a slabbed SD to keep for reference.

Come on guys,it's a simple 45 degree rotation in your photo editor.
ronbo: actually it would be better to align your coin correctly but in this case it didn't matter. Those who have been doing this for a while have trained their eyes and can spot the Lg date/Sm date easily. In time you too will get to a point where you recognize them. Also if you stick around you will get better with the photos. Keep searching and post anything you find we will gladly help you grow in knowledge and before you know it you will be helping others.Good luck.

I only mention this for future posts, and no, it is not a simple 45 degree rotation. When you photograph like that the light does not hit the coin correctly. It causes shadows that can throw off a correct attribution. Not trying to be harsh, just a pointer that will help this poster immensely in the future.

I know, I was just further explain for the benefit of the OP. It is just a good habit to get into when taking photos to post here for answers.
