<p>[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1236371, member: 23626"]Both of the coins you have are 1970 S Large Date. The small date was the earlier die that was changed when they kept breaking at the date. I gotta tell you, I went through dozens of rolls of 70S cents and posted pic after pic here to see if I found one. What I finally did was to purchase a proof set with the 70 s small date cent. With a comparison coin in hand, it's very easy to see the difference. I mean, people tell you about the dropped 7, the weak "LIBERTY" and various methods to spot one. Unfortunately, I was never able to do it from advice or pics. But placing a questionable coin along side a known variety made it much more obvious for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
