matthewpj73 Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 10/06/2011 12:36 pm Hello, I am wanting all of your input on three topics regarding this coin: A: Am I correctly identifying it as a 1970 S small date variety? B: What grade would you call this? C: What is the value of this coin? Or what would YOU pay for it? Many many thanks Matthew Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/06/2011 2:12 pm It's hard to compare the date to SD diagnostics when the photo is angled. If it's a SD, then Report this Post to the Staff

hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 10/06/2011 7:31 pm small date MS-63RD $40 value, but I think these are overrated and over priced so I personally would probably only give you $20 - $25 for it. and I want to state that I purposefully decided on my full answer before looking at the other responses...I was pleased to see the consensus.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 10/06/2011 11:47 pm Definately a small date. Don't take your pictures at an angle like that, it makes it really hard to see the coin. Also, you have a problem with white balance and light, the color is not correct and that makes it difficult to grade. The coin looks 63 as best as I can tell. Nice cartwheel luster could move it to 64 because I don't see many hits. I agree with the others, about $30-40 depending on how it looks in hand. Lincoln Cent Lover!

matthewpj73 Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 02:08 am Everyone, thanks for the feedback. BadThad ---> Trust me, I'd LOVE better pictures, the main problem I have is with lighting. My camera does super-macro so I can get great detail, but I have to get literally within 1/2 inch of the coin to use the super-macro. SO, I have seen USB-Microscopes, and have thought of purchasing one, but really don't know what I'm getting into there. Any advice on a USB-Microscope or other advice for pictures would be GREATLY appreciated. :) Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 08:24 am I understand your problem, the camera is blocking the light. Does your camera have optical zoom? I use between 2.8x and 3.4x optical zoom to keep the camera away from the coin. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
