Hello Numismatist's,
And you in particular John. I consider you the authority and your opinion is factual, and correct. Thank You. Any how her is an image of what I suspect to be a small date 1970 S Lincoln Penny. I thought the hook in the nine is pointing well above the mint mark. But the large date would have it pointing more towards the mint mark. What do you think?
Thank You
