Coop, those are useful pics for comparison--thanks!

Like Chuck said, I now realize the visual differences between LD and SD are quite distinct, but many of us will never find a SD unattributed for comparison. That said, the first SD I found in a pile of cents I knew right away. Very Happy

I was looking at a coin price guide from 1980.

The 70-S small dates were listed at:

50 cents in MS60
$7.50 in MS65
$150 in PF65

Sort of interesting that the PF was already so high and you can still get one today for less than that price but the non proofs went up a lot.

Make's me wonder how many of the proof small dates are out there.

The proofs are much tougher than the uncs.

I haven't seen enough of the proofs to have a really good estimate but it's probably in the 3% of production area. or about 100,000 produced and much lower attrition than the unc.

The biggest determinant for price is demand.
