Dallywopper Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 12/10/2020 5:40 pm Hey gang, I found this reddish 1970 S in circulation. Do you guys think the date is large or small? Seems like the 0 is taller than the 7. Also, on the reverse, is this the floating roof everyone is talking about? Report this Post to the Staff

There seems to be an extremely slight post on the left side in your magnified pictures but there is no way that will be seen with normal viewing Report this Post to the Staff
