Excellent link Rick! Has all the other markers list there as well!

 

Weakly struck Liberty on business strike only not proof.
Looks small. The high 7 and the tight curl on the 9.

 

Yep, definitely a small date...Nice!...Spark

 

I bought a 1970 Proof Set today. I thought I was buying one with a large date cent (at least that was the way it was presented to me as). But it looks small to me. I don't have a loop or a good camera with me, just the magnifier on my phone. Small or large date?

Straight line all the numerals have the same height. When I ordered proof sets from the mint in 70, I ordered 4 sets. All turned out to be small dates. Sold 3, kept one which I still have. Only discovered I had small dates much later. Of course that was when I sold the 3.

To this day, I always look for them even though I moved on from US to a wider view of the world with coins of all ages. Even when I get change when I'm out shopping or such, I still look at my pocket change. A great hobby.

Small date

 

Very cool! What does the small date generally sell for?
