arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 08/03/2008 09:28 am Is there any way you can get a closer picture? Both of the date and liberty? This link has always been helpful: http://www.thecentproject.com/sort1970.php Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/04/2008 12:14 pm The 7 is the key to the dates. A large date has the 7 lower than the top ot the 9 and 0. The small date has the 7 almost completely level with the other numbers. Either one would have to be in a MS grade to be worth anything monitarily. However, the one you have is just another fairly decent coin but not the valuable one. And as to the PCGS price guide, remember that it is one of the highest prices on coins and not really what they are worth. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 08/05/2008 12:46 am It's easiest to see when the date and LIBERTY are horizontal, but the 9 in the date here is clearly the LD style. Report this Post to the Staff

Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 08/05/2008 01:18 am Thank you all for the lessons. I am still a bit confused. The Liberty is very weak (compared to other cents that I have) There does not seem to be the crease on the seven pointing towards a small date, and yet the other pointers such as the lower seven and the nine would indicate a large date. I will of course bow to your greater knowledge. Once again thanks Harold Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 08/05/2008 01:37 am I've seen some SD with stronger LIBERTY than LD. It depends on the strike and die state. Sometimes the crease of the 7 is worn off, so I went by the 9 in this case. Report this Post to the Staff
