I'm really trying to learn the difference in the small and large date and on this one since the curve of 9 pointed at mint mark then its a large correct? Yes a lot of pics Sorry if it bothers anyone.
The height of the 7 and the tail of the 9 are the key in this determination. Although other points may assist, these two are simply the easiest way to judge. Also, you have several pics that could help us but, they appear to be from different angles to so...stating an opinion could be incorrect. I personally use a jeweler's eye rather than computer microscope or camera. Your choice.
Yes the small date has a pointy 9 bottom, it's not blunt. The shape of the 0 is also a marker, but the 1970 SD/LD can be more subtle than other small/ large dates. I believe this is the one where LIBERTY is not crisp on the small date.
