70-72 s pennies

Do you have a 1970-S cent? Look for the rare "small date" version. You'll probably need a magnifying glass: http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/1970S1cSmAndLgDtCompare.htm

I'll more than likely need a 'hair splitting'' knife......

 

the penny I was talking about is the one on your profile pic wen you message I see it on the left by your name. o the dime was just siiting there I guess on it but I will post more pics of the pennies that I was mainly talking about but there is a lot of coins , I looked up a couple of I guess key date pennies I'll post a few but I relly do appreciate your guys time(although its almost 5:00 PM)

 

yes I have a couple of them i'll take some pics and post them .

 

I'd like to see what's in the bag More pictures please

 

here are the pics as promised , well some of them

 

ok heres my 1970 s's I relly don't know or cant tell if they are like the ones in the link you sent cus of my eyes but here is a pic of all of them .

 

I saw a trade dollar, worth the time for an individual image. I believe @Kentucky was referring to the coin in a 2x2 holder, visible in pics 8 & 9 of the first group of photos on page 1 of this thread. In the vertical column on the left side of the photo and the holder is labeled "dime on penny". I'm curious too and would appreciate an individual shot of that one too please.

 

I can't tell from the photo.

 

You also have a Trade Dollar in the top row with the Eisenhower dollars. If its not a copy, this one would be worth a bit.

 

Looks to be all common coins, I would send them back into circulation.

 

here are the 70 s's I have if you could look and see if they are good ones I would relly appreciate it but I ha ve 71's and 72's I have some of them that are s's and d's and a few no mints or p's I f you think they might be key dates ,

 

Those look like circulated coins. I'd toss those into circulation.

 

Why does the 1916 Merc dime look so big in pic number 6?

 

are you talking about this coin, Idk why it looks so big but its in a 2x2 holder

 

so all collectable coins are unc's ??

 

Old coins often have value in even poor grades.

Modern coins sometimes have a lot of value in low grades but not typically. Moderns were poorly made and few were saved so they are mostly valuable only in high grades.

Among your coins the most likely valuable coin would be a '69-S DDO which might bring up to about $5000. If you're in Michigan your chances aren't all that remote.

The second most likely is the '70-S DDO. Like the '69 you can spot these by looking for doubling on the obverse letters.

There could be a '70-S small date. It's only worth about $25 but it's worth checking. Look at the inside loop of the "9". If it points down toward the mint mark it has no special value probably (there is an S/ S), but if it points up toward the "7" then it's the small date.

It's probably not worth the effort to have them checked out professionally but there are other possibilities as well. I'd just spend them. Even better would be to start a collection and get in on the ground floor. Almost nobody has such collections now days and they're a lot of fun. Forget buying the books like the Redbook because they're all wrong with moderns. Just buy a cheap folder or an album and start trying to fill it with the best coin you can find.

 

ok that sounds like the best thing for me ,hey thanks a lot for your time

 

Can anyone tell me if this is small date or large?
