Tsmc1202 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/10/2025 12:13 pm Hello! I'm new to coin collecting and still have a lot to learn. Recently, I came across a 1970-S penny that I find pretty interesting. Here's what I think I know about the coin—please correct me if I'm wrong: - Weight: 3.1g - RPM - Large Date - Floating Roof I believe there is some doubling on some of the lettering, and the coin might be off-center. Additionally, the "FG" on the coin is faint and appears doubled or repunched. I hope my lack of experience doesn't make you laugh too hard! Thank you for any insights, corrections, or thoughts on its value. Report this Post to the Staff

The Floating Roof is also very common and carries no premium. It's the result of over polishing the die. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 02/10/2025 7:52 pm to CCF. the roof must be disconnected at both side to be a floating roof. You neglected to give us a close up of the right side, however, I see it connected in the full reverse side image. So it is not a floating roof from what I can tell. Collecting since 1972.
