spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/08/2017 02:20 am As far as I know, only the S-mint cents have the LD and SD varieties for 1970. The SD would be the valuable one in that case. If it helps, yours would be a Large Date if compared to the San Francisco Mint coins.

James Lackeys Coins505 Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 09/08/2017 02:24 am Thank you for the info, is the 1960 small date only a certain mint as well? Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/08/2017 02:31 am The only 1960 Small Date with a premium is the Philly mint (no mm). There is also the 1960-D/D Small/Large Date that has the most value. It looks like this (from PCGS): Here's a pic from PCGS for the 1970-S that I find very helpful. Note the position of the 7 between the lines: In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Edited by spru 09/08/2017 02:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/08/2017 1:33 pm Save this image for use for I'ding the small dates: When looking at images on your computer for auctions, you might try this tip: A business card to a straight edge of paper can show you the tops of the date easier. But I always look first for the bottom of the 7. If it is below the '0' on the date, it is a large date. Report this Post to the Staff
