The first thing I look at to discern a small date is weakness in liberty. If it is weak then I will look at the date. If liberty is sharp I still look at the date but I already know it's not a small date.
If the picture isn't clear ask the seller if liberty is sharp or not. I would be willing to bet the seller doesn't know this diagnostic and will spill the beans about the coin without even knowing it.
