    I have been going through some rolls of pennies and have found two rolls, and possibly more of nothing but 1970 S coins. I have found some that are obviously not the small date (most in fact) and some that appear to be. I have found none that as obvious as the pictures in the various sites... What is the prevalence of the small date?

    Below are a few of the coins...

    Okay, Thanks everyone. I was leaning that way for those four.

    What about this one? The loop in the nine curves into the 7 and the LIBERTY has fairly shallow/weak relief.

    Coin in post #5 is also a large date.

    That one looks good to me.

    I disagree...the 7 is low and the direction the 9 is pointing is a artifact of strange lighting and crappy pictures. Liberty is not weak IMO.

    What makes this a LD in your opinion?

    I see the loop pointing at the 7 and a weak LIBERTY. The height of the 7 is approximate to the rest of the date. Even the reference site states this can be deceptive (http://www.lincolncentresource.com/smalldates/1970Ssmalldate.html).

    My lighting is coming from directly above and from the 10 and 2 o'clock positions. What aspect of my pictures are crappy?

    And there is a notch in the crotch of the 7.

    That's what I think. Time for more wine.

    Interesting ROB.
    Might have a nice strong strike there.
    Either way the definition does get weaker on Liberty.
    But,
    Could also be altered,
    I am only saying that cuz I am past a six pack.
