Are either of these the small date variety. I have trouble telling the difference & after I look at it long enough I see what I want to instead of what's really there.. just looking for a second opinion, thanks in advance
Not to my eyes.... Perhaps this may be of some assistance to you.. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/smalldates/1970Ssmalldate.html
It's easy to tell the 1970 small date. And you don't have to look at the date. Just look at Liberty. If Liberty is soft and washed out...weak...as in the above photo, it's a small date. Large date coins exhibit a full, well struck liberty...again, reference above photo. This is a variety you can find easily with the naked eye.
