tershaffer Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 01/10/2011 9:50 pm hi all, New at this and making a list of things to look for as I roll search my first box and was curious as to if the 1970S small date is the only uncommon 70 small date penny worth keeping. I googled it and only found the S mints. I'm assuming all others are common, but found a D (I beleive) so thought I would check.It also appears to have some grease die errors, wich I know are do not carry a premium, but again, trying to get a grasp on it all. If correct that will be the first ID I have gotten correct, lol. Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 01/10/2011 9:52 pm As far as I know all 1970 coins are Large Dates, which is why the 70-S Small Date is such a desirable variety. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/11/2011 06:27 am I am the happy owner of a 1970-S small date found in the wild It took over 30 years for me to find it roll searching. I see a lot of the 1970 P & D mints and a few S large dates when searching rolls. But compared to other dates the '70's are less common in my searching.

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5606 Posts	Posted 01/13/2011 7:13 pm Scooby Due, you have said it all!!!! The only coin to look for in that year, is the 1970-S small date coin, which you can tell by many PUP'S I have found the one that shows the both ends of the 9 having pointed ends, is a FACT, a small date coin......Good luck....

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/14/2011 11:52 am There are a few doubled dies for that year: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._1do_003.jpg And RPMs: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...s1mm001m.jpg So there are a few interesting coins for this year. So look closely before recycling this years cents. Have you ever noticed that having the coin image in the horizontal position, makes it easier to tell if it is a small date? You see this ploy on auctions to make you think it is a small date, when it isn't. Edited by coop 01/14/2011 11:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
