Edit: updated photo to add arrows referencing the angle of the upper tail on the 9, as pointed out by John1. Edited by Ty2020b 11/11/2020 08:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/11/2020 04:53 am Focus on the upper inner tail of the 9 to distinguish the LG from the SM date. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/11/2020 12:13 pm Some of the 1970-S small dates had a different design on the '9' of the date: As mentioned, the small dates occur on a few of the 1970-S only cents. Memorize the shape of the '9' and it will help you to spot these. Report this Post to the Staff
