dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 01/18/2016 5:06 pm i suppose this constitutes a question from a "novice" - but why are you comparing the diagnostics of a "s" mint mark - to a denver minted coin? is there even a small date/large date variety - from the denver mint. (i suppose that there probably is - and I will be getting schooled here), but I just needed to ask. Report this Post to the Staff
Stormy Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 01/18/2016 5:23 pm I'm fairly certain that the small date variety is only for the 1970S. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/18/2016 5:30 pm CoinCents, there is no large/small date for Denver minted coins in 1970. Only from San Fran. Besides look at the side by side shots you show. The tail of the 7 is below the bottom of the 0 on you Denver coin. Look at haw even they are on the San Fran small date. Look at the curl of the 9 on your Denver, nothing like the small date San Fran. Report this Post to the Staff

Just noticed these while taking photos of them together. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/11/2019 12:20 pm Correct the 'S' mint mark had normal and small dates. None of the other mints had small dates. Your coin is show die wear and an example of over polishing. This alters the devices. The die polishing reduces the size of the devices evenly, and the die wear will show on the side of the devices towards the rim. It started out as a normal die, but die events altered the die. Not a doubled die or a small date. There were two obverses for the large and small dates that year: Report this Post to the Staff
