1970-S Large Date Copper Penny ICG MS66 RD
1970-S Large Date Copper Lincoln Memorial Cent ICG MS66 RD
This 1970-S Lincoln Memorial Cent is a high-grade copper specimen certified by ICG as MS66 RD. As a Large Date variety, it is distinguished from the Small Date by the alignment of the 7 in the date, which sits lower than the 0. The coin exhibits a brilliant full Red (RD) luster, indicating it has retained its original copper mint color without significant oxidation. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this piece is a beautiful example of the copper composition used before the transition to zinc-based cores. This professionally graded coin is protected in a secure ICG holder, ensuring its condition and variety are preserved for any serious numismatic collection.

Condition: This copper penny is graded MS66 RD by ICG, indicating it is in Mint State condition with a Red designation. This signifies the coin retains nearly all of its original mint luster and possesses a vibrant copper color with very few marks or imperfections visible. The strike type is a business strike produced for circulation. The mint is the San Francisco Mint, identified by the S mint mark located under the date. The metal content of this 1970 penny is copper. Historically, the 1970-S Lincoln Cent is famous among collectors for having two distinct hub varieties for the date: the Small Date and the Large Date. This specific example is the Large Date variety, which is characterized by the alignment of the digits in the year and the depth of the lettering in the word Liberty. This coin represents a high-grade example of a classic modern US circulation coin.
