1970 S Where to find them???

I know these arent worth a "Red" cent, 😉, but got some info I thought I should share.
So you want to know where I found 2 of the 4 1970 S pennies?? My wife's purse. I'm not kidding!!!! She gets a new purse, and it's like, "soooooo! Pull everything out but the change and into the closet it goes. Lmao!! So check all the old purses your wives or girlfriends have put up in storage.

    The one in the upper right appears to be a small date.

    Very cool finds. They are all large dates.

    Old purses (and wallets) often contain 'hidden' secrets....I have found change (or other items) in both types when looking at yard sale offerings. Cheers, RickO

    They are actually worth 1.79 cents. ;) Just check out coinflation.com :)

    Those later date S Mint cents were very hard to find in this part of the country even back in the day.
