Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 10/12/2008 04:07 am I have read about a 70-S large over small date , and seen a small picture in Breens ,,Is this a possible for this variety ? Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 10/12/2008 07:51 am Here be a small date high 7 variety. note the tops of the numbers are level with each other. also check the 9 out as the gap should be smaller than normal. Cents are not my thing so I could be way off base here. Report this Post to the Staff
cpfull Pillar of the Community United States 603 Posts	Posted 10/12/2008 09:59 am I would have to think it is mechanical or ejection doubling since it appears on the mint mark as well. However that is only my opinion and may very well be incorrect. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 10/12/2008 2:10 pm Hi, That's Machine Doubling damage on a 1970 S large date cent. Also, the Class III DDO you are thinking about, to my knowledge has only been seen on Proof coins and not on circulation strikes. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 10/12/2008 2:28 pm Ok I kinda had a hunch that is what it would be but the stain of finding one was more than I could bear.LOL Breens makes no mention of this being a proof only variety ,but that is far from the final word on the subject I'm sure .

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/13/2008 10:41 am Bill is right on all counts. I cherried my example of the 1970S proof small/large date at a small local show in September 2006 in Tulsa, OK for a buck. It was in a PVC flip and had some haze, which I promptly removed. The coin is now happily resting in an archival flip in my collection. Its grade is PR66RD and I would venture a $125 value. Your coin, however, is just a machine doubled large date cent.

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 10/13/2008 12:42 pm What's interesting here is how the MD has re-shaped the inner hook of the 9...that could be confusing without the greater context. Report this Post to the Staff
