Can I get some opinions on the following coins. I really have a difficult time with circulated 1970S's and their attributions. My guess on 1 through 5 is NO,NO,MAYBE,NO,YES. But I have been wrong before and surely will be some more! nlp Replaced pic of #5 date(better focus) sorry. #1   #2   #3   #4   #5   Edited by nlp coins

I think we need closeups of the date area to make a definite call.

I am far from an expert, but they all seem like large dates except #3, and that's just one that I think is harder to see.
Note, this is strictly from looking at the curvature of the 9.

First, bigger pics will help. They all appear to be LD except for #3. I am of the sneaking suspicion that it is a SD. The leg on the seven appears shorter and the loop on the nine appears much tighter from the top to bottom changing where the tag end points. Also, the hole or center on the zero appears much smaller, too. Hard to tell from the pics, though.

Yeah, I too think #3 desrves a closer look. The others look like large date.

Seeing the new pics, I think I'm looking at all large dates with the differences due to wear.

I enlarged #3, leveled out the date some, and adjusted contrast:  |

I'm still not convinced. The digits top and bottom need to show the exact location. Here is another aid to compare to.  Also the LIBERTY doesn't have the weakness associated with the small date. Edited by coop
