That is a large date

 

It's also a 1970.

 

I DO NOT AGREE. I RAN A SHEET OFF THE INTERNET FROM THE USA COIN BOOK AND IT SHOWS THE SMALL DATE WITH A SMALLER S.

 

Not sure how much I trust you here buddy, considering you can’t tell the difference between the number “0” and the number “3”.

 

YOU DO NOT KNOW A SMALL S FROM A BIG S

 

your 1970 (nineteen seventy (not 73) S CENT)


and the lower part, large date comparison

verses usacoinbook which states the same thing just in an opposite manner.

 

it's not the "S" that signifies Large Date vs Small Date. It's the Date that signifies it. Notice the "7" dropping down more, identifying it as a Large Date.

The "S" would identify a Small MintMark vs a large MintMark. Or die deterioration, etc.

notice that usacoinbooks description does not include anything about the "S", but the "7" in the date
