 Would this be a small date or a large?

Looks like a large date to me. I can't find it right now, but someone posted a small date yesterday. You can search using the search box near the upper left corner of the screen. Good luck, and keep looking.

Yeah I was reading that one last night and made me think about the 1970 s I had so I pulled it out. I wasn't sure Because of how the 9 was pointing but when I put a piece of paper up to it the numbers seemed to be even with each other top and bottom?  |

Do you have a picture of the full coin? Looks LD but too your point the 0 looks even. In fuller context it should be more apparent.
P.S. Looking at the photo on a computer screen rather than the phone, the 0 is higher. Keep at it though; you may become one of the lucky few!

Thank you all of you, and Fuzzy 317 I'm going to
check that out and try to compared it to the pictures thank you.
Cwb I'm going try to get some pictures up tonight but
If not I'll get it on here first thing in the morning. It's been a long day and I'm afraid if I try to get pictures right now they probably won't come out that good but if your have a chance after they're posted to let me know your thoughts I would appreciate it.

Oh please have mercy on me and these pictures but I tried the best I could. I also tried cropping the date to Measure it across with the 7 and the 0. To me it appears To be the same length but I don't know. I also tried comparing The Liberty to the site Fuzzy added tonight and I don't know if It's just being tired but the Y and the E look weak but then again My eyes right now aren't very strong, maybe you guys can tell better. Thanks guys...       |

Thanks you guys. Can I ask why you came to that conclusion?
I'm confused because it appears the 7 is not below the o and also
I had wondered about the e and y in Liberty in my eyes didn't really appear strong? The top
Of the 9 appeared to be straight across the top of the 7 and O except
I could see some spacing when someone lined it up yesterday?

The difference in spacing is so minute that it isn't always easy to see - especially when you first start out looking for this variety. One good way to tell (imo), is to look at a real small date and observe how the tops of the numbers line up with each other - and then compare that to the numbers on your coin, or any other large date.
While there are a number of "tells" that are useful (e.g., I always look first at the curl of the 9), they aren't, it seems to me, 100% foolproof, and are not in the end what makes the coin a small date -- maybe others can correct me if I'm wrong on this.
