This coin shows characteristics of the large and small date and I just don't have an eye for it. Any input will be appreciated, stick around I have an awsome find that I'll be uploading later! & Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19152 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 08:59 am The key--for me--is the 9 in the date. Search Google for images -- 'small date cent 1970 S'. Compare the upper closing end of the 9--small and large dates. Report this Post to the Staff

Note the inside loop of the '9'? Blunt or pointed? Note the direction the inside loop points? Why are they shaped that way? If is is different die design: Searching for these on line, you can use a business Card to see the differences, despite the angle of rotation of the coin: CoopHome: How can I tell for sure if I have a 1970-S Small date? shape of the deign on the '9' and on the location on the bottom of the '7'. know what to look for.
