Mdnyte Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 10/29/2015 03:43 am Thank you Fuzzy317. I thought so to cause the 7 looked like it was lower but with the angel of the 9 pointing (what looked to me anyway) looks like it went more inwards more than downwards so that made me wonder.

Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 10/29/2015 1:01 pm Large date. The other characteristic I have noticed on all the examples on CCF about the 1970 small date, large date question is that the mintmark on the small date coin is lower and about centered under the 9 and 7 and on the large date the mm is almost totally under the 9 and closer.

Mdnyte Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 10/29/2015 2:52 pm Hmmm thank you Coop and Pete. It's funny you say that about the mint mark I have a few other 1970 s one which the mint mark is higher up and one is lower. I'll post them after work. Thank you for your help.

Mdnyte Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 10/30/2015 12:30 am Oh I didn't know that. Thank you coop. I'm so tired tonight I cant see straight but tomorrow I'll look I know I have a couple of others that I would like to check out. Two I know for sure now are large dates I have to look and check out the other two. I'll compare them to the example above. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you and have a good night.
