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... What say you? ~Rob
What about this one? The loop in the nine curves into the 7 and the LIBERTY has fairly shallow/weak relief. ~Rob
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). ~Rob
I think it is weak. Just not great pictures 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? ~Rob
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.
