    I was looking to get some fillers for my Lincoln collection, perhaps find a nice RPM or OMM. I got in the case and picked up a 1970-S Lincoln. Something was different about it, I louped it, then louped it again, then tried different angles, lighting, you know. In every way this has to be a "high 7". The loop in the 9 curls back toward the 7, IBERTY is weak. If this is NOT a high 7 then excuse me and I will quit the hobby. The catch is, if it is a high 7,.....look at the bottom right of the flip and what I paid for it. :eek:hya::hail:

    What do you guys/gals think? And BTW, is "louped" a word? hehehe

    Isn't it interesting and Soooo impressive when knowledge allows someone to score so well! Knowledge , you can't say it too much! Excellent job! Of course if it was me, the dealer would probably know something was different.

    Nice cherry pick erwizard!!! After all these years I still can't distinguish the small date from the large date 70 S cent.
