Yeah, the drop in the '7' looks like a large date. My bad.
I have only ever seen a 'small date' with the top of the '1' even to or above the '9'. That's my main diagnostic, and I might be mistaken. I have...
With the height of the '1' in 1970...that coin looks like a small date to me.
Yuck! There is no price too cheap for a problem coin. It's better than I have though!
Maybe get a stereo microscope to look through your wheats...you'll never regret it. When I finish my proof ASE collection, I'm gonna start a type...
