Hello all and thanks for reading. I guess you could say I'm new to coin collecting and so far I'm not very good at it. I've been holding onto any S pennies I come across (IDK why...) so I thought I'd try differentiating the 1970 S Lg and Sm dates and this coin definitely is the hardest to rule out as a Lg date. It almost looks like it could be sm over lg or something.. but I'm no expert. Sorry for the pic quality I'm currently trying to get better ones.

This looks like large date to me... Notice the difference in height when comparing the 9 and 7. Also the inside loop of the 9 points down for the large date and in for the small date.

It's a large date. Aside from the photo brian poster look at the word liberty. On the small date the word LIBERTY will be weakly struck.

The large and small date were from different die designs:
