<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hope1275, post: 2155985, member: 74497&quot;]I found Cent Project&#039;s website really helpful, because the 1970s small date is so tricky (at least for me)! The link below addresses the Liberty and 9 issues as well, but I found this tip to work best for me:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>&quot;The one tell tale sign between the two that NEVER fails is a crease that runs horizontally across the top of the diagonal of the 7 on ALL large date cents. That crease is completely absent on ALL small date cents (this works for proofs too). Take a look at the photos below and see for yourself...and enjoy collecting!&quot;</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>1970S date comparison - Large date is on top:</p><p><img src="http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/1970/1970s_ld_date.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/1970/1970s_sd_date.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.thecentproject.com/sort1970.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thecentproject.com/sort1970.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.thecentproject.com/sort1970.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>ETA: You can see it in the photos [USER=44633]@spirityoda[/USER] posted as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
