I was about to write the coin off as a large date, but now I'm not so sure. My problem is the size and focus of the date area--it's almost not enough detail to decide. So I have blown up your picture, comparing to a small date proof I photographed. On the small date, the shapes of the 9,7, and 0 are all distinctive. I could almost dismiss the 9 and 7 to focus/detail...but the 0 has that pointed inside loop indicative of the SD.  What do others think?  I suspect we'll need a closer picture to be sure.  This picture by Coop might help you compare and decide.  Edited by DVCollector

Even with the focus issue I'm pretty sure it is small date.

Small date, has the standard "weak" Liberty diagnostic among others.

I wouldn't buy a SD using the weak Liberty diagnostic. It's hardly conclusive; it depends on strike, die state, and the lighting on the coin when photographed. Here's a SD with a better-struck LIBERTY:   |

I hafta agree the liberty is a part of it in the end its all about the "see coops pics" thats the all and what I used to score my first one!! A 1970 mint set small date great find!! As long as your happy thats all that matters!
