Could you provide a clear closeup of the mint mark,
hard to say from those photos.

Too much glare in the photos, but I thinking the mint mark took a hit.

Let's see, no rpms listed on Varietyvista. So, the answer to your question would be?

Pictures aren't that great, but it's probably a well placed hit on the mint mark.

This is a large date cent

The rounded corners of the 7 and the rounded end of the 9 in the loop.

a small date will have sharp pointy corners on the 7 and a flat blunt end of the 9.

In addition, the gap between the rim to the 4 will be smaller on a large cent and larger for a small date.

However, need MUCH better images of the date and MM.
This is a small date 1974-S cent:

and this is a large date:
