Hello Drink,

By all rights you shouldn't find any 1970 Kennedys in rolls.
That being said, people fall onto hard times and kids rob Dads coin collection.

1970 D ==mintage was only 2,150,000. They were only available in mint sets.
1970 S ==mintage was only 2,632,810. All were Proof coins.
Of these coins available , subtract 1 coin from each variety as i have one of each.!

Mintage source: Redbook 2006

Good luck with your searching,

Mike in SC

I haven't found one yet. Besides proofs I've found all Kennedys but nine: 1970-D, 1987-P, 2002-P, 2003-P, 2004-D, 2005-P & D, 2006-P & D. All of these haven't been released for circulation but I'm determined to find 'em!

Good going on the 1970-S! Silver proofs are even harder to find than regular proofs or silver.
