<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhp3rd, post: 500127, member: 16510&quot;]<b>Three things that may help.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>1. If you emptied 100 BU rolls of 1970-S cents bought from every corner of the country you would probably have 100 rolls of 1970-S Large date coins. Not to discourage you but I personally have searched 2 Mint sewn bags and over 1000 rolls of 1970-S and have never found one in all of those. So you really are not going to be coming across them often. I have found a couple in Mint Sets and Proof sets though. <b> Plus study the doubled dies for this coin there are dozens and 1 major for this date that I cannot wait to find someday.</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. More for help with your question though is the &quot;0&quot; on the large date generally has a little peak at 12 o&#039;clock. Tilt the coin facing you away bottom toward your chin top slightly down and look across the coin from bottom of date towards the top - the large date &quot;0&quot; will have this little peak to it and then you will know the large date. The &quot;0&quot; on the Small Date will be much more concentric and smaller.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. The 1970- Small Date generally will have a washed out appearance to the second half of the letters in Liberty.</p><p>Once you master the Large date when you see a small date you will be sure of it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ben Peters[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
