I have 3 others that are 1970 S and in my CoinWorld.com portfolios when I enter this coin as a 1970 S double die it says its value is $20,000..... that is impossible right? my pics arent very good but I can try to take more. doubling can be seen in the date and on the back Report this Post to the Staff

Mistydae New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 10/26/2016 6:51 pm like I said my camera sucks, but can you tell me if it is a small or large date? even if it iswnt the over lapping double die small dates are more rare are they not? Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 10/26/2016 8:18 pm to the forum! Images are low quality, but it is a large date. Another point to look at when searching for the 1970-S small date is the curve of the 9 in the date. On a large date, it points more towards the bottom of the 7. It points more towards the middle on a small date. Keep looking! Check out this page: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/l...lldates.html for more help in identifying the large/small dates.

crazyglue Valued Member United States 467 Posts	Posted 10/26/2016 10:38 pm I've been collecting on and off for 40 years and I still have much trouble with 1970 S cents. If this one wasn't the one, keep looking, you might find it soon. Report this Post to the Staff

jdiablo30 Pillar of the Community United States 946 Posts	Posted 10/27/2016 06:04 am For the 1970s its weird, The large date the "7" in the date sits lower and smaller then the small date counterpart which is larger,but called a small date. Report this Post to the Staff
