    What about it? Do you see something different that you can point out to us?

    Its a large date with a small die chip around the S, also indicating its probably not a proof. its hard to tell from the pictures, but heres mine its a LD Proof. IMG_20190529_003754875.jpg

    This is a different 1970, small date I presume, the previous one was a proof

    Neato! Have you been collecting long? You seem to have a very large variety of coins.

    Chadddr the plain 1970-P does not have small and large varieties just the S, Ill show example as compared to yours. notice the loop on the 9. It will point at the 7 instead of the Mint mark. a lot of large date have a high 7 that's where people make a big mistake of paying too much.

    Agree that all the coins are large dates except the photo above.
    On business strikes LIBERTY will usually be weakly struck (not on proofs).
    The curl of the 9 is a key marker. Look at the arrows in this photo.
    Inside the 9 the end point is SHARP, and on the LD it is blunt. The height of the 7 is also a marker. High 7 SD, low 7 LD.
    Here is a handy reference comparison:
