[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2495174, member: 19165"]Well, I was summoned so I will respond ;) I think your pictures show a 66 coin. I think the pictures are underlit however, and if the lighting was more even (and showed the surfaces better) you may get more 67 guesses. Based on what I see, I'd guess a strong 66 and I wouldn't be surprised by a 67. However, more intriguing to me is how the obverse seems to reflect light somewhat... oddly. This is leading me to believe that the coin has prooflike tendencies. Of course, I can't make any judgement of that based on solely these pictures, but the amount of die polish on the reverse also lends credence to my theory. There are a few dates between 1968 and 1972 that are known for prooflike coinage across most denominations, and 1970D is one of the most common. So, I can't tell if it is PL, or just semi-prooflike, or 66-67, but this coin is intriguing enough to me that I would like to see better pictures.[/QUOTE]
