1970 s small date

hey guys,i got this 1970 ( i believe )is a small date 1970 s penny.i did a little research and the L in liberty is clearly stamped but the rest of the letters are stamped less and in trust ust is not really clear.also the 9 in the date is hook shaped and rounded.its not square like the other 1970 s on the inside.also the 7 is lower than the rest of the date with a straight edge it is very obvious my pic is not the best but you can see at least the details i discribed.let me know what you think?

I cannot make out enough detail from you pics. But if the 7 is lower, then it is a large date. See http://lincolncentresource.com/smalldates/1970Ssmalldate.html. Also, note that there is a crook at the junction on the 7 (large date) and the bottom of the 7 is almost even with the 0 (small date.

 

hey thanks!i just ran and looked at it again the bottom of the 7 is the same as the 1 and the 0 the 9 is way longer the top of the 7 is just under the 0 like a mm thick and the 7 looks smooth with no breaks in it at all i will try to take a better pic so you can see in about 2 min

 

o man!the nine is exactly like the one in the photo you shown me!!!!!it has a sharp hook the comes toward the 7!!i looked 4 times my other 1970 stops and is flat or squared off i will post the pic asap one moment

 

better pic

 

I am sorry, but your picture is just too fuzzy for me to make anything out. However, do not look at the 7 relative to the bottom of the 9. The small date should be even (almost anyway) with the bottom of the 1 and 0.

 

How about some bigger pics

 

ok i will try to take some bigger pics if i take a straight edge and hold it on top of the numbers they are all even.the seven is not lower than the rest,howeverthe 9 does have the sharp edge and more curved back almost touching the 9 onthe othe side.i will post a pic in a min

 

Sorry again, but this one is both smaller and more out of focus.

 

Well I zoomed in on it and I see a large date.

when i click on the image it enlarges to the whole screen does that work if you guys click on the image?

 

Yes, mine enlarges, but not to the whole screen. That depends on the monitor you have. I can then enlarge it to take the whole screen, but it is so out of focus that I have no idea where the 9 inside loop ends. I think that the 7 has a long tail, but I am not sure. And there is no way I am making out a notch in the 7 or that there is no notch.

 

ok i will use a better camera tomorrow.early tomorrow i will post good pics.with my 10x mag lens there is surley no notch in the 7 and the 9 defenitly has the sharp hook.but with those fuzzy pics you wount be able to tell.i will take a pic with a straight edge tomorrow also to show they all are the same height on top.thanks for your time though i got to hit the sack lol i will be back on here 9 am ep time thanks again

 

That last picture is in much better focus, but I cannot make anything out in the LIBERTY, can't tell about the 9, and still don't know about the notch in the 7. Guessing it is not there. Best I can tell, the 7 is even with the top and bottom of the 1 and 0. It is probably a small date.

 

Jesse-

As RLM said, look for the notch in the seven. The photos aren't sharp enough to tell.

It appears that the inside end of the nine loop points to the bottom of the 7 , making it a Large Date and not to the middle of the 7, which would be a small date. I agree with RockDude.

the 7 should be high, the 9 should have long loop, need close up photo to be sure?
