How often do those of you who search penny rolls find 1970-S and 1960 small dates? I'm trying to finish a collection of '59-'82 copper pennies from circulation and those are the last two I need.
70S - I would say that 99% of searchers have never found one. 60 - Probably close to the same but probably more than the 70S. I've searched 486 boxes and countless bags and have not come across either.
I think I have one circulated 60 small date Philly. And I had a bunch of 1960 large date, 1960-D large date and 1960-D small date that I released into circulation. Zero on the 1970-S. Your coin is a large date the curl of the 9 is pointing down, not across. And your LIBERTY is well struck.
Very nice example but large date! I believe I have found those small dates but will have to check my stash!
This thread is one I posted after going through a original bank bag of 1970S cents. Goodies were found, but they were all ( 5000) large date. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/some-finds-in-the-1970s-lincoln-cent-bag.89221/
