I’m 96% sure this is a small date 1970 s penny. What do you think?

    image.jpg I got this penny as a very big Christmas present, and I looked at the signs, and it seems to be the 1970 s small date! The three signs are, the 9 in 1970 is pointed more east than southeast, LIBERTY is a weaker strike, and the 7 in 1970 reaches the 1,9, and 0. What do you guys think? I’m about 97% sure now, how about you?

    Just to clarify I didn’t get this for the value of the error, because this would cost a lot! I got it with a bunch of other pennies that someone handed down to me. I just saw this in their collection and got excited!

    Appears to have the curl on the 9 and the high 7. To be the small date.
    A better photo could help.

    I agree with you and see the small date, too.

    I also say Small Date. Top curled end of the nine is pointed. It is Blunt on the large date.
