1970 Lincoln Cent Overview
The 1970 Lincoln Memorial Cent is a modern copper penny that presents both extreme commonality and exceptional rarity depending on which variant you examine. With nearly 5.5 billion coins produced for circulation across three mints—Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco—most 1970 pennies are worth only their face value or intrinsic copper melt value. However, the year 1970 stands out in numismatics for producing three highly collectible "chase" coins: the scarce 1970-S Small Date business strike, the rare 1970-S Large Date Doubled Die Obverse (FS-101), and the valuable 1970-S Small Date Proof. These key varieties command premiums ranging from a few dollars to five figures, making careful examination of any 1970-S cent essential.
This guide provides comprehensive pricing for all 1970 cent issues, explains how to identify the valuable Large Date versus Small Date varieties, covers die varieties and mint errors, and offers grading diagnostics to help you accurately assess your coin's condition and value.
How to Identify Your 1970 Lincoln Cent
Identifying your 1970 cent requires examining three key features: the mint mark (or absence thereof), the date style (for San Francisco coins only), and the strike type (business strike versus proof).
Mint Mark Identification
The mint mark, when present, appears on the obverse (front) of the coin below the date. Philadelphia coins struck for circulation carry no mint mark. Denver coins display a small "D," while San Francisco business strikes and proofs show an "S." The mint mark's presence and letter determine which facility produced your coin and significantly affects value potential.
Large Date vs. Small Date (1970-S Only)
The 1970-S cents exist in two distinct varieties that create a dramatic value difference. Both business strikes and proofs can be either Large Date or Small Date, making identification critical for San Francisco coins.
🔍 Primary Diagnostic: The "7" Alignment
Small Date ("High 7"): Draw an imaginary line across the tops of the digits 1, 9, and 0. On the Small Date variety, the top of the "7" aligns level with this line.
Large Date ("Low 7"): The top of the "7" sits noticeably lower than the tops of the other numerals.
Secondary Diagnostic: LIBERTY Inscription
A faster and often more definitive identification method involves examining the obverse inscription "LIBERTY." The Small Date variety consistently exhibits weak, soft, or "mushy" lettering, particularly visible in the letters B, E, and R. This weakness results from the worn die hub used to create the Small Date dies. In contrast, the Large Date variety displays sharp, well-defined lettering throughout "LIBERTY." For quick sorting, any 1970-S cent with bold, crisp "LIBERTY" is definitively a Large Date.
Business Strike vs. Proof
Business strikes have a typical matte or satiny finish and were produced for circulation or mint sets. Proof coins exhibit mirror-like fields with frosted devices (cameo effect) and were sold only in special proof sets. Proof coins feel slightly thicker and show no signs of circulation wear. All 1970 proof cents bear the "S" mint mark.
1970 Lincoln Cent Value by Mint and Variety
The following values reflect the current numismatic market for certified, problem-free examples. Prices are based on data from PCGS Price Guide, NGC Price Guide, and recent auction results. Color designation (RD, RB, BN) significantly impacts value for uncirculated copper coins.
1970 (P) Lincoln Cent (No Mint Mark)
Mintage: 1,898,315,000
Key Status: Common; value exists only in highest grades
The Philadelphia 1970 cent is extremely common in all circulated grades, worth only face value or copper melt value (approximately $0.03 as of 2025). Numismatic premiums begin only at MS-64 and higher, with dramatic value increases in MS-67 and above representing true condition rarities.
| Grade | Value (RD) |
|---|---|
| G-4 to AU-50 | $0.01 – $0.03 |
| MS-64 RD | $12 |
| MS-65 RD | $18 |
| MS-66 RD | $26 |
| MS-67 RD | $190 |
| MS-67+ RD | $5,500 |
Recent auction: MS-67+ RD sold for $4,406 (PCGS, 03-2014)
1970-D Lincoln Cent
Mintage: 2,891,438,900
Key Status: Most common 1970 cent; extreme condition rarity
Despite having the highest mintage of any 1970 cent by one billion coins, the 1970-D paradoxically commands higher prices in top grades than the Philadelphia issue. This counter-intuitive pricing reflects systematic strike quality issues at the Denver Mint, making gem MS-67 examples genuinely scarce relative to production numbers.
| Grade | Value (RD) |
|---|---|
| G-4 to AU-50 | $0.01 – $0.03 |
| MS-64 RD | $16 |
| MS-65 RD | $22 |
| MS-66 RD | $37 |
| MS-67 RD | $500 |
| MS-67+ RD | $3,500 |
Recent auction: MS-67+ RD sold for $2,820 (PCGS, 08-2016)
1970-S Large Date Lincoln Cent
Mintage: Unknown subset of 693,192,814
Key Status: Common San Francisco business strike
This is the standard business strike variety from San Francisco. It trades at modest premiums over Philadelphia and Denver cents in lower mint state grades, with values rising significantly only in MS-67 and higher.
| Grade | Value (RD) |
|---|---|
| G-4 to AU-50 | $0.01 – $0.05 |
| MS-63 RD | $12 |

| MS-66 RD | $24 |
| MS-67 RD | $220 |
| MS-67+ RD | $1,500 |
Recent auction: MS-67+ RD sold for $1,500 (02-2019)
1970-S Small Date Lincoln Cent (Business Strike)
Mintage: Unknown subset of 693,192,814
Key Status: Scarce variety; valuable in all grades
The 1970-S Small Date business strike is a genuine scarcity avidly sought by collectors. Unlike common 1970 cents, this variety carries premiums even in circulated condition. Most surviving examples are uncirculated, as coins entering circulation typically suffered damage. The auction record of $1,610 for an AU-50 BN example dramatically exceeds guide values for uncirculated coins, indicating that problem-free circulated survivors are exceptionally rare.
| Grade | BN Value | RB Value | RD Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| G-4 | $1.00 | — | — |
| VF-20 | $1.75 | — | — |
| AU-50 | $3.50* | — | — |
| MS-63 | $25 – $35 | $30 – $40 | $50 |
| MS-64 | $30 – $40 | $40 – $50 | $60 |
| MS-65 | $40 – $50 | $50 – $60 | $90 |
| MS-66 | $60 – $75 | $80 – $100 | $190 |
| MS-67 | $100 – $150 | $200 – $300 | $750 |
| MS-67 RD | Auction Record: $2,464 (06-2008) | ||
*Note: Certified problem-free circulated examples worth substantially more; AU-50 BN sold for $1,610 (Heritage, 2005)
1970-S Large Date Proof
Mintage: Unknown subset of 2,632,810
Key Status: Common proof
The Large Date proof is the standard variety found in most 1970 proof sets. Values are modest for standard (non-Cameo) finishes, with significant premiums for Cameo (CAM) and Deep Cameo (DCAM) designations in top grades.
| Grade | Value (Standard) | Value (DCAM) |
|---|---|---|
| PR-67 RD | $12 | — |
| PR-68 RD | $14 | $40 – $50 |
| PR-69 RD | $24 | — |
| PR-68 CAM | $33 | — |
| PR-69 CAM | $88 | — |
| PR-69 DCAM | ~$250 | |
1970-S Small Date Proof
Mintage: Unknown subset of 2,632,810
Key Status: Rare variety; highly valuable
The 1970-S Small Date Proof is the most valuable coin in the 1970 cent series. It represents a major modern rarity, with 1970 being the only year a proof set potentially contains either a common or rare variety of the same denomination. The combination of variety rarity, Deep Cameo designation, and top PR-69 grade creates the ultimate 1970 cent collectible.
| Grade & Designation | Value |
|---|---|
| PR-67 RD (Standard) | $100 |
| PR-68 RD (Standard) | $115 |
| PR-69 RD (Standard) | $650 |
| PR-68 CAM | $250+ |
| PR-68 DCAM | $450 |
| PR-69 DCAM | Auction Record: $18,400 |
The $18,400 auction record represents the pinnacle: Small Date variety + Deep Cameo finish + near-perfect PR-69 grade.
Grading Your 1970 Lincoln Cent
Accurate grading determines the difference between a cent worth face value and one worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. The Sheldon Scale (1-70) is the standard, with circulated coins grading G-4 through AU-58 and uncirculated coins MS-60 through MS-70. For proofs, the scale is PR-60 through PR-70.
Key Grading Points for Lincoln Cents
Obverse (Front): Lincoln's cheek shows wear first, progressing from slight flatness in AU grades to complete smoothness in lower circulated grades. Hair details above the ear are critical—these remain sharp in high grades but flatten significantly by VF-20. The wheat stalks on the reverse (not visible on Memorial cents, but diagnostic points remain) and the Memorial building's steps and columns are key reverse grading areas.
Strike Quality: Not all mint state coins are created equal. A coin can have no wear (thus qualifying as "mint state") but still suffer from weak strike, where design details never fully formed during production. Weak strikes particularly affect the Denver Mint's 1970 production, explaining the premium for sharp, well-struck examples.
Circulated Grades
Good (G-4): Heavy wear. Date and inscriptions barely visible but readable. Lincoln's portrait is a flat outline.
Very Fine (VF-20): Moderate wear. Lincoln's cheek shows flatness, but hair details above ear remain partially visible.
Extremely Fine (EF-40): Light wear on highest points. Most hair details present. All lettering sharp.
About Uncirculated (AU-50/58): Slight wear on highest points only. Original mint luster partially remains in protected areas.
Uncirculated Grades (Mint State)
MS-60 to MS-62: No wear, but significant contact marks, bagmarks, or poor luster. May have spots or discoloration.
MS-63: Moderate contact marks. Luster may be slightly impaired. Average eye appeal.
MS-64: Few minor contact marks. Good luster and eye appeal.
MS-65: Minor contact marks only. Strong luster. Above-average eye appeal.
MS-66: Very few contact marks, mostly in non-focal areas. Excellent luster and eye appeal.
MS-67: Virtually mark-free. Outstanding luster and exceptional eye appeal. Significant condition rarity.
MS-68 and higher: Near-perfect to perfect. Extremely rare, representing the finest survivors.
Color Designations for Copper Coins
For uncirculated (MS-60+) copper cents, color designation is assigned based on the percentage of original mint red color remaining:
RD (Red): 95% or more original red color. Commands highest premiums.
RB (Red-Brown): 5% to 95% original red. Moderate premiums.
BN (Brown): Less than 5% original red. Lower premiums in uncirculated grades. All circulated coins are by definition Brown, as circulation wear breaks the original mint luster.
⚠️ Color and Value
A 1970-D MS-67 RD is worth $500, while an MS-67 BN of the same coin might bring only $50-100. Color preservation is critical for copper cent values.
1970 Die Varieties Worth Hunting
Die varieties result from anomalies in the die production process and can create coins worth substantially more than standard strikes. The 1970 cent series includes two significant varieties that collectors actively seek.
1970-S Small Date (Both Business Strike and Proof)
System: Descriptive diagnostic
Affected Issues: All 1970-S business strikes and proofs
The Small Date variety is not technically a "die variety" in the traditional doubled die or repunched mint mark sense, but rather represents a distinct die hub used by San Francisco. The die hub that created the Small Date obverse was either worn or improperly prepared, resulting in inherently weaker dies. This weakness manifests in two diagnostic features:
- High 7: The top of the digit "7" aligns level with the tops of 1, 9, and 0
- Weak LIBERTY: The obverse inscription appears soft, mushy, or poorly defined
Value Range: Business strikes: $1 (circulated) to $2,464 (MS-67 RD). Proofs: $100 (PR-67 RD) to $18,400 (PR-69 DCAM).
Rarity: Scarce in business strike form (more available than proofs). Rare in proof form, with the Small Date proof being a major modern numismatic rarity.
1970-S Large Date Doubled Die Obverse (FS-101)
System: Fivaz-Stanton (FS-101)
Affected Issues: 1970-S Large Date business strike only
This is the premier die variety of 1970, listed in all major references including the Cherrypickers' Guide. It exhibits exceptionally strong doubling on the obverse inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "LIBERTY," making it both visually dramatic and relatively easy to authenticate without magnification.
Identification: The doubling is most pronounced on "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST." Letters show clear separation between the primary and secondary images. This is a Large Date variety—any 1970-S cent with a low "7" and sharp "LIBERTY" that also shows obverse doubling is the FS-101.
Value Range: MS-64 BN: $2,500-$3,675. MS-65 RD: $6,500. MS-66 RD: $22,750. Top grade (MS-66+ RD): $38,400.
Market Note: Eye appeal significantly affects value. Even within the same grade, coins with bolder doubling or superior luster command premium prices. The spread between MS-65 RD sales ($2,340 to $8,400) reflects this factor.
💡 Variety Hunting Tip
When checking 1970-S cents, examine for the Small Date first (it's more common). If you find a Large Date with sharp LIBERTY, then check for doubling—you may have discovered the valuable FS-101 DDO.
1970 Lincoln Cent Mint Errors
Mint errors occur during the striking process when something goes wrong with the planchet, dies, or striking mechanism. While major errors are rare and valuable, minor errors on 1970 cents are relatively common and carry modest premiums.
Lamination Errors
Description: A flaw in the planchet where a thin layer of metal peels or flakes away from the coin's surface, creating a visible separation or void.
Prevalence: Common on 1970s copper cents due to planchet preparation issues during this era.
Value: $5 – $10 for minor laminations. Larger, more dramatic examples may bring slightly more.
Off-Center Strikes
Minor (10-15% off-center, full date visible): The coin was struck slightly misaligned, with design missing from one edge but the date fully readable. These are relatively common.
Value: $20 – $30.
Major (50%+ off-center, partial or no date): The planchet was significantly misaligned during striking, resulting in half or more of the design missing. Much scarcer and more dramatic.
Value: $150+, with value increasing based on the degree of misalignment and visual appeal.
Brockage Errors
Description: Occurs when a struck coin fails to eject from the press and remains stuck to a die. The stuck coin then acts as a die, creating an incuse (mirror-image, indented) impression on the next planchet struck.
Prevalence: Rare.
Value: $170+ depending on clarity and completeness of the brockage.
Wrong Planchet Strikes
Description: A major error where cent dies strike the wrong denomination's planchet (e.g., a Lincoln cent design struck on a Roosevelt dime planchet).
Prevalence: Very rare. These errors typically involve cross-contamination between denomination production lines.
Value: $1,000+ depending on the planchet type and authentication.
⚠️ Error Authentication
Many apparent "errors" are actually post-mint damage. True mint errors occur during production at the mint, while damage happens afterward. Always seek third-party authentication (PCGS Error, NGC) for valuable error coins before purchasing.
Authenticating and Detecting Problems
Given the significant values associated with 1970-S Small Date cents and the Doubled Die Obverse variety, authentication and problem detection are essential skills. Counterfeit and altered coins exist, as do legitimately struck coins that have been damaged or cleaned, destroying their numismatic value.
Counterfeit Small Date Coins: The value difference between common Large Date and scarce Small Date 1970-S cents has motivated counterfeiters to attempt alterations. Some attempt to grind down or reshape the "7" on a Large Date coin to mimic the Small Date's high "7." Authentication by a reputable third-party grading service (PCGS, NGC) is the only certain protection. Look for signs of tooling or grinding under magnification around the date area on raw coins.
Counterfeit Doubled Die Varieties: The FS-101 DDO has been counterfeited. Fake doubling can be created through various methods, including striking a coin twice at home (which creates a completely different doubling pattern than a genuine hub doubling error) or through die simulation counterfeits. Again, certification is essential for any coin claimed to be the valuable FS-101.
Detecting Cleaned Coins: Cleaning destroys a copper coin's value. Major grading services will not assign a numerical grade to cleaned coins, instead returning them in "Details" holders that drastically reduce value. Warning signs of cleaning include unnatural color (harsh pink or bright orange rather than natural red-brown), loss of original mint luster (the coin may be shiny but lacks the proper "cartwheel" rotating luster), hairline scratches (fine parallel lines from wiping or abrasive cleaners), and residue remaining only in crevices while fields are unnaturally bright.
Surface Damage: Scratches, corrosion spots, environmental damage, and PVC contamination (green residue from old vinyl coin holders) all dramatically reduce value. For high-grade modern coins, even a single distracting scratch in a focal area can drop a potential MS-67 coin to MS-64 or lower.
When to Certify: For any 1970-S cent you believe might be a Small Date or Doubled Die Obverse, or for any 1970 cent in apparent MS-66 or higher condition, professional certification is strongly recommended. The certification fee (typically $20-40 depending on service level) is a worthwhile investment that both authenticates the coin and establishes its grade, making it far more marketable.
Preserving Your 1970 Lincoln Cents
Proper storage and handling are critical for maintaining your 1970 cents' value, particularly for uncirculated examples where color designation (RD, RB, BN) significantly impacts worth. Copper naturally oxidizes over time, and improper storage accelerates this process, causing valuable RD (Red) coins to deteriorate to RB (Red-Brown) or BN (Brown).
Storage Requirements: Store uncirculated copper cents in inert, airtight holders. Professional-grade options include PCGS and NGC certified holders (which provide both protection and authentication), Intercept Shield albums (which actively prevent toning), or individual 2x2 cardboard holders with Mylar windows housed in archival storage boxes. Avoid PVC-containing plastics, which leach chemicals that create green corrosion. Never store copper coins in paper envelopes, as sulfur in the paper accelerates toning.
Environmental Control: Low humidity (30-40%) and stable temperature slow oxidation. Avoid basements (too humid) and attics (temperature extremes). A climate-controlled interior room or safe deposit box provides ideal conditions.
Handling Protocol: Never touch the coin's surfaces with bare fingers. Oils and acids from skin cause permanent fingerprint etching and accelerate toning. Hold coins by their edges only, or use cotton gloves. When examining coins, work over a soft surface to prevent damage if dropped.
Never Clean Coins: Cleaning destroys numismatic value. Even gentle cleaning with soap and water removes original mint luster and creates hairline scratches. If a coin has dirt or foreign matter, consult a professional conservator rather than attempting cleaning yourself. A dirty original coin is worth far more than a cleaned one.
Long-Term Color Preservation: Even in ideal storage, copper will eventually tone from RD to RB over decades. This natural aging process is acceptable and does not constitute damage. However, proper storage can slow this process significantly, potentially preserving RD status for 50+ years rather than 10-20 years in poor storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my 1970 penny worth?
Most 1970 pennies from Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D) are worth face value to a few cents in circulated condition, or $12-500 in uncirculated grades MS-64 to MS-67 RD. However, 1970-S cents require careful examination. A common 1970-S Large Date is worth $12-220 (MS-63 to MS-67 RD), while the scarce 1970-S Small Date is worth $1-2,464 depending on condition. The rare 1970-S Doubled Die Obverse (FS-101) is worth $2,500-$38,400. Always check the date style on San Francisco coins.
How do I identify the 1970-S Small Date variety?
Look at the alignment of the "7" in the date. On the Small Date (valuable variety), the top of the "7" is level with the tops of the 1, 9, and 0, creating a "high 7." On the common Large Date, the top of the "7" sits noticeably lower than the other numerals. A faster diagnostic: examine "LIBERTY." The Small Date has weak, mushy lettering, while the Large Date has sharp, well-defined letters. Any 1970-S with crisp "LIBERTY" is definitely a Large Date.
What is the 1970-S Doubled Die Obverse worth?
The 1970-S Large Date Doubled Die Obverse (FS-101) is a major variety showing dramatic doubling on "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "LIBERTY." Values range from $2,500 for MS-64 BN to $38,400 for the top population MS-66+ RD example. Even Brown (BN) examples bring thousands of dollars. Eye appeal matters significantly—coins with bolder doubling and superior luster command premium prices even within the same grade.
Are 1970 proof pennies valuable?
Common 1970-S Large Date proofs are worth $12-250 depending on grade and designation (standard, Cameo, or Deep Cameo). However, if your 1970 proof set contains the rare Small Date variety, values jump dramatically: $100 (PR-67 RD) to $18,400 (PR-69 DCAM). First step: authenticate whether your proof cent is Large Date or Small Date using the diagnostics in this guide. The difference is worth thousands of dollars.
Why is the 1970-D worth more than the 1970-P in high grades?
Despite the 1970-D having one billion more coins minted (2.89 billion vs. 1.89 billion for Philadelphia), the Denver Mint apparently experienced systematic strike quality issues in 1970. This resulted in fewer sharply struck, gem-quality survivors. A 1970-D MS-67 RD is worth $500 versus $190 for a 1970-P MS-67 RD because the Denver coin is genuinely scarcer in top condition despite its higher mintage.
Should I get my 1970 cent professionally graded?
Professional grading is essential if you have: (1) any 1970-S cent that might be a Small Date or Doubled Die Obverse, (2) any 1970 cent in apparent MS-66 or higher condition, or (3) any significant mint error. Certification authenticates the coin, establishes its grade, and dramatically improves marketability. The $20-40 grading fee is a worthwhile investment for potentially valuable coins. For common dates in average circulated condition, grading costs exceed the coin's value.
How should I store my copper pennies?
Store uncirculated copper cents in inert, airtight holders to prevent oxidation that causes valuable Red (RD) coins to tone to Red-Brown (RB) or Brown (BN). Use PCGS/NGC holders, Intercept Shield albums, or 2x2 cardboard/Mylar holders. Avoid PVC plastics and paper envelopes. Maintain 30-40% humidity and stable temperature. Never touch coin surfaces with bare fingers—hold by edges only or use cotton gloves. Never attempt to clean copper coins; cleaning destroys value.
What are mint errors on 1970 pennies worth?
Minor errors are common and bring modest premiums: lamination errors ($5-10), small off-center strikes showing full date ($20-30). Major errors are scarce and valuable: dramatic 50%+ off-center strikes ($150+), brockage errors ($170+), wrong planchet strikes ($1,000+). Always authenticate significant errors through PCGS Error or NGC, as post-mint damage is often mistaken for mint errors by beginners.
