1970 Small Date Penny

Hello I think I have a unique error on this coin. What do you think? Rotated "2" over date? Any insight would be very much appreciated.

This is interesting were researching. It has to be a 1970 not 1920 simply because if it were a 1920 the reverse would be a wheat cent. Thanks for posting! Well get back to you!

Here is a video on the coin we did a few years back

Ive made an animated overlay with another 1970 cent from Philadelphia for the year..small and large die variations were only issued from the San Fran mint they switched the die sometime during the minting process. That being said...you can see where there is a line in the 0 that maybe angles towards the same spot in the 7 at the lower section...that may indicate a strike through error? something like a staple or something maybe somehow made its way into the press, but I really dont this that is the complete answer? Can you do me a favor and send me another image of the error? As large and clean as you can?

If you hold the coin in your hand so that lincolns head is pointing up...and without rotating the coin turn it over...is the reverse design rotated at all? Please send another image, this coins has seriously peaked my curiosity...
