Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 01/07/2017 4:25 pm Looks like a normal LD with a bit of Die Deterioration. Good luck on the hunt for your SD specimen! Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/07/2017 4:50 pm to the forum! It is a large date and I don't think it is a repunched mint mark. I would like to see some close-up images of IN GOD WE TRUST and LIBERTY. Something about this reminds me of the 1970-S DDO-002, but I can really tell from the images posted. It may be nothing, but I would like to see more. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/07/2017 7:39 pm What you have is definitely a LD and no DDO (doubled die obverse) or RPM (repenched mintmark). To easily determine which follow these four rules: #1: Top of 7 is even with 9 & 0 #2: there's usually a small bump at 12 oclock outer of 0 on LD #3: There is an inner crease on the 7 and the real give-away #4: The BERTY on SD is weaker than on LD. The photo enclosed shows these. Thought myself this pix was 1970S-1D0-008 (coppercoins.com designation)notice inside 0 3-6 oclock seems to be doubled, but coin has no small outer 6 oclock tick so can't be. Note also the "ghosting NW on 7 & 0, this is machining, and the shelf on right of 9, it is sharp and matches original size of digit, this is probably a bag smash, Mechanical Doubling would show up in other close digits.

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 12:23 am Thank you for posting the extra photos. It is a normal 1970-S large date. When it doubt, check it out! Sometimes it's hard to know just seeing part of the coin. The extra pictures helped a lot. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 02:05 am The top of the date and mint mark show the same MD on them. (thus the glare on those areas) Spendable coin. Report this Post to the Staff
