Mdnyte Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 10/31/2015 9:52 pm I have 2 different 1970's which to me looks as though the s is spaced differently? Are they small dates, large dates? I'm very confused when trying to determine which is which? Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 10/31/2015 9:54 pm Mint marks were added to working dies by hand until 1989, so they could be almost any where or any shape. Report this Post to the Staff
Mdnyte Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 10/31/2015 9:59 pm Wow by hand that's interesting. I never knew that. Do you know if they're large dates or small dates? Report this Post to the Staff

Mdnyte Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 10/31/2015 10:46 pm Thankyou Fuzzy317. Yeah he said there was more than one die for the small date, and when I looked at the two of these the S appears to be in the middle more so than under the nine like the first one? Also the loop on the 9 looks to me anyway that it's pointing more towards the middle rather than down. I tried lining it straight across but I have no idea if I'm just looking for something that probably isn't even there. The first one the s is more under the 9 and it appears the loop on the 9 is pointing down. I am embarrassed to say I just don't know lol. Report this Post to the Staff

Mdnyte Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 11/02/2015 02:53 am Thank you Coop. I think I got it now. They are both large dates because the tail of the 7 goes below the 1 and the 0. I was all confused with the mint Mark being high up on one and low in the other. Report this Post to the Staff
