Recently I was perusing eBay for 1970 S small dates and nearly half of the dozens for sale were large dates.
These are common in that condition, sport. Not worth even trying to grade. I'm not saying somebody might not give you a nickel for it, especially if you flipped for the shipping. Outside of that, you found a Large Date. Now find a Small Date, and you complete the set.
The nine is a big proof that it is a small date,however, can you show another half that demonstrates a small date, please?
The 9 says large date. Didn't you look at the references given? all of them point to the bottom of the 7. Give it up or send it in, and get back to us with the results.
Is this pointed to the bottom of the 7 or middle? By the way, the upper line (imaginary) is covering all the digits! And it is the exact copy of ODV-026! Even the S is the same and LIBERTY is weak!
The top of the 7 should be as high as the 9 and the O. In this photo you can clearly see that the seven is below the digits on either side, thus, a large date.
Your normal MO is you ask a question or show a coin that is definitely not the variety you want it to be. You have repeatedly done this. There is absolutely no doubt by anyone on the forum with knowledge that this is a large date. Drawing a straight line across the top shows the 7 is lower. It's not a small date.
It points to the bottom. Expat gave you the proof. I have been looking for the weak Liberty, you can't have a small date without it.
Yes, it is a different coin. I mistakenly posted it in there. It is the large date and doubled die and the PCGS auction price is $25,000.
What you have to understand is a person can put a price on any item they auction. That doesn't mean it's valued at that price. I have a 1996 Toyota Tacoma with 438,000 miles on it. Now I can list it at a sale price of $130,000. That doesn't mean that's the true value of it and I can guarantee no one is going to pay me that for it!
