Found this one in my last roll. 1970 S. I'm pretty sure it's a large date, but maybe someone with a better eye can identify it. Also, if you look at the left side of the rim, it looks like there's a groove in the rim. Is this a mint error? If so, what it this kind of error called and does it carry any sort of premium? Sorry for the poor quality photo, my scanner isn't very good.  |

Definitely a large date. The 7 drops just so below the 0. I find this much easier to see in the photos than in hand.

I am really confused. I have picked about 25 70S LMC in the last few months while roll searching. They all look like small dates to me, but I know this could not be. I guess my eyes are good enough.  |

I have 15 rolls of 1970-S Lincolns so far. I'm fairly sure that none of them are small dates, but I'm not positive....so I hoard them all.  Who am I kidding...I hoard EVERY S-mint memorial I find.  |

Once I saw a small date and large date side-by-side (real coins, not photos), the difference became extremely obvious and I can always spot the small dates now.
I highly recommend that if anyone has never seen a small date in hand, then find one at a coin shop or show and compare it to the large date that the dealer surely has as well.

Finished another box one of the worst yet, 3 common wheaties and 4 S's 68, 2x70, and a nice 73. Did get 5 nice canadians though. Got me a celestron 4302 USB microscope on order should help these old eyes and take some decent pics. |

Bad bag this week for me too...first bag that I did not find either a WAM or 88 RDV-006. Didn't even find a minor double die. Hope this doesn't become a trend. |
