After I go pick up my wife from work I will see what I can do about a closer picture, but my photographic resources are very limited. I'm fairly certain the 9 has not taken any nicks or dings, just even wear throughout the coin. The 0 does seem a bit high but (this is my VERY novice opinion) it may be that it sort of "smudged" as it wore over time. Also someone said that what I thought may have been doubling was died at irriation maybe the small edges made it easier to wear at a certain angle? heck I don't know that probably sounds completely retarded to you guys but it seems plausible to me. I will state that the coin in the picture posted by Bob131313 looks so similar to mine, that I might venture to say they came from the same die. Even the wear on LIBERTY

With the larger images, I starting to see something that doesn't make it a small date. The ends of the 7 & 9 are blunt. (which is what the large dates have. Note shtudentt's coin. The east side curl is pointed on the 9. With the image rotated it makes the Lower part of the 7 showing. So I'm learning more on the Large date now. a close up of the 9 might show us if the center was pushed as Agrippa mentioned. So closer images please. (the upper horizontal of the 7 is also what I need to see)

The nine looks like a small date nine, but LIBERTY is strong as seen on the large date, the rest of the date, like the position of the seven, looks like a large date. I think the nine must have taken a hit somewhere along the way and this is a large date cent.

This looks like a large date since the very second it was posted. That 0 sits way to highhhhh

yes, that 0 is way too high. You can see it sticking out of the rectangle posted earlier. Unless there's a new "medium" mutant, it's LD.

LD. The 0 is too high and LIBERTY too strong. I also agree that the devices are blunt not sharp. My first impression was LD with a tactical ding on the 9. A better picture would remove all doubt.

Ok this is above my lincoln pay grade so I'm bowing out but does this mean the horizontal 9 crossbar terminus as opposed to diagonal is not an indicator then?

Unfortunately, This is a 1970S Large Date Cent. Here are 2 pic's of the coin turned upside down. The top of the 7 is below the top of the Zero on the top and base of the 7 extends below the base of the Zero on the bottom   Edited by chuckster 125

Yeah with a straight on pic of the date, it sure looks like a LD to me.

Well, I was wrong... Flip me over to the LD side. FWIW, the newer pics have convinced me too...

This is a very confusing coin for me, because the 0 and the 9 seem the same height and the 1 and the 7 seem the same height. So is that LD or SD?
