BINGO!  THE EASY PUP FOR ME, THE INNER LOOP ON TOP OF THE 9 IS POINTED AND AIMED AT THE MIDDLE OF THE 7, NOT BLUNT/FLAT ENDED,LIKE THE LARGE DATED COIN ALSO DOES NOT POINT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE 7 OR THE MINT MARK..... PS, CONGRATS, not many of these are found in the wild! Edited by Morgans Dad

Also the two ends of the 9 are pointed. Large date 9 ends are blunt. Another hint from another poster here.

I'm all eyes and ears and yes, I've been given hope, Scooby Due! How 'bout you too Coppercoins? Hope? There surely is a 2nd 1970 S Small date waiting for you to find it! I'll race you, see who finds one first, me or you, though the odds are in your favor on several counts |
