Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 2:50 pm This 1970, still in mint wrapper has a high riding "7" and other SD characteristics. Is this even possible? I should probably go take my nap now, shouldn't I? Part of my confusion is from the comparison with the other 1970 in this mint set, it does look small. I am going to go grab some sleep. I'll check on it later. Let me know your thoughts. If you need a closer look, try clicking on the photo and it should get a little bigger.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 8:10 pm I believe you're correct BigSilver. And those do look like Large Dates to me.

This is the blue part of a 1970 mint set which typically contains the P cent and the S cent. So did these two coins both come out of Philly or did one get struck in SF without a mint mark? I don't know how those packaging machines work, so is there a hopper for P cents and another for S cents and some got mixed up? Was there a die in SF that lacked a mint mark and those coins got packaged in the normal way? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 9:27 pm I see what you're saying, Biederrcoins. I know of no SF die without the mint. I think they're probably both Phillys. One possible way to prove it is look closely, there's a good chance they're both from the same obverse or reverse die. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 10:28 pm probably not worth it. I guess it is technically a "mint error", but I wouldn't think it'd have much interest. Report this Post to the Staff
