That's what I was leaning towards. Thank you all very much. This forum is amazing ever one is so helpful. At least I now have a 70 S small date and a large date. I was trying to post my small date but couldn't reduce the size enough to post. Thanks again.

This is the 1970 S I came across last year and was told its a small date. What D you think?  |

Very blurred, but from what I can tell it looks like the small date.

I would need a closer pic. LIBERTY looks too sharp to be SD, but it wouldn't conclusively dismiss it either.

The Liberty on the #2 coin does look too strong.

I agree the liberty is well struck. Compared too others. I dont know if this image will help.  |

 LIBERTY should look like this. |

I am fairly new so correct me if I am wrong. Another way to indicate a small date is if the numbers 970 are all in line at the top. You can see in the large date that the 7 is slightly lower than the 9 and the 0.

That is correct, but IMO it is the most difficult factor to determine. You can also examine the inside bend of the "7". On the large it is an acute angle, whereas on the small date it more rounded or smooth.

So the liberty has to be clear in the large date, And should look less sharp on the small date? I thought it was the date that mattered more. Is it possible to have a small date with the clear LIBERTY that looks like a large date?

The 1970-S small dates are a premium coin. The 1970-S large dates are common.
