I have 36 1970 s Lincoln one cent coins that I wanted to sell but I am having a tough time trying to figure out which is the small date and which is the large date. On some, the 9 curls more towards the right as opposed to southeast but the words Liberty are somewhat defined and not faded. I don't know if the 70 aligns perfectly top to bottom, the 7 may dip a hair down but it could be an illusion because if I use a piece of paper, they line up. Some of the numbers and letters look more filled in (bold) If anyone could help picking out the small dates, I would appreciate it, thank you.   |

To CCF! We'll need much better and close up pictures, in order to tell, if they're Small Dates, or Large Date Cents. Errers and Varietys.

Looks like a coin counterfeiting operation. Who knew people went out for their way to print pennies.

You know it, 3D printing has come a long way! I'll see if I can get some close up pics posted.

I'm only going to guess on one with the quality of the photos. The second from the top left. There may be more but we really need individual photos.  |

yeah it's taken me more than a few weeks to look at the coins over and over then go back to them again, scan again because according to what everyone has posted, the small cents that I have are not making sense. I am going to post again with a close up of just two Lincolns. A few problems that I am having are the mint marks are all over the place, up high down low, close to the 7 far away from the 7 and the 9 looks like a large date because it doesn't really curl to make a right angle. On some, the 0 looks like the only high number, some have a weak berty so here, I'll post another pic, thanks

okay, here's another pic that if you go by the curled right angle 9, both are large dates but look at the distance between the 7 and the mint mark.  |

They're both Large Date Cents. The 0 in the date is raised slightly higher next to the 7.
Errers and Varietys.

yeah I agree but what about the distance between the 7 and the mint mark? I can't find any information on that. Here's another pic of different Lincolns to better illustrate the distance  |

Not even from the same dies. the 9 & 0 are high, long tail 7, MM placement is different, die states seem different as well. Note the slight differences:  Edited by Crazyb0
