    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?

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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?
