NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 7:24 pm Believe I came across one today. I know there has been much discussion in the recent past. Your thoughts, do I have a 1970 S small date? "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 7:28 pm Looks like the LD. What stands out to me when I spot the SD is the top of the 7 even with the top of the 0. The slightly lower positioned 7 is the LD. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Dearborn Moderator United States 95622 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 8:58 pm It is a large date, you can also tell by the 7. from the bottom up it narrows as it rises up to the corner.

surfacewave Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 9:19 pm Looks like a small date to me, loop of the nine points toward the middle of the seven and the bottom of the seven and one look like they line up, top of the nine and seven look aligned, could be wrong but that's what I see from the images (imho,I am still learning).

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 9:25 pm Sorry, not a small date, but you may want to look at the rest of the obverse, for possible doubling and markers. Tough to tell with the pics and circulation though. Correction on my part, did not mean to say large date.... -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 04/15/2023 9:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
