scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 01/14/2015 7:57 pm I'm 99.99% certain that I know what this is, but I have a relatively good reason for being 0.01% uncertain. I'll reveal that reason after you good folks tell me whether this is the small date, or large date. Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 01/14/2015 8:38 pm Nice Small date. Love the inside curl of the 9 pointed directly at the 7. a mushy "Liberty" and the 7 does appear to be level with the other 3 devices. Congratulations You have a Winner and a nice one at that Edited by jasper62 01/14/2015 8:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 01/14/2015 8:48 pm Okay. I am satisfied that we're all on the same page. This is a small date variety. Here is why I was 0.01% uncertain Who sells a MS 1970 S Small Date LMC for $1.00? I even asked the clerk if it was a small date and he said "Do you mean a 1982 small date?" I explained there was a 1970 S small date variety and he assured me that the shop owner would have marked the 2x2 if it was a variety. Oh well. I tried. Now I know what everyone means when the say "buy the coin, not the holder." Report this Post to the Staff

Correct ... confirming all the other expert opinions ... this is a 1970-S small date. Nice cherrypick ... good that you had the knowledge to buy the coin .. and not the holder!

Believe me, I checked them very carefully. No dice. Quote: Perhaps they have a roll to sell. Funny you should mention that. I collect BU rolls of LMC's. It is impossible to find a full roll of these. I've tried. I have to put together this roll one coin at time. This one is number 8. 42 more to go. Report this Post to the Staff
