Doesn't look like it to me. But the pic is not very clear.

Think you might be right, and thanks for saving necks brian, lol

 

post a pic of LIBERTY......I don't believe it is either

 

Here is two pics. The one on the left is the one I thought was a small date do to the location of the mm. Sorry I do not have better pics, using my phone, lol

 

The one on top is the one I am speaking of. If you look at both coins, the MM is in a different place. Is that common?

 

I was just looking at the link you sent Michael. That was very helpful, and I see neither is a small date. But what is up with the mm? That I am curious about?

 

In 1970 the Mintmark was hand-punched onto each die. It is common for them
to vary from coin to coin.

 

Thanks, I did not realize that.

 

Usually with the small date, the curl on the 9 comes WAY around. When it points to the bottom of the 7, it's usually a large date. Also the 0 in the small date is smaller and thicker. The large date is thinner and more of an oval. But these are subtle and difficult to pick up. LIBERTY is a good indicator. Murky on small date and crisper on large.

If you are roll searching it is important to know they hand punched all dies until 1990. They also used the same punches for all denominations.
