    You're all correct! But, that coin is what I call a 3rd 1970-s variety (medium date) that looks different to me than other large dates. Check out the link below and compared the two large dates in post #4. Note how the 1 and 0 on the 2nd large date are higher than the 1st large date and this variety. And, in hand, the inner loop of the 9 is squared in such a way that it appears to point east, similar to a small date. I think it's the variety that causes the most confusion for small dated identification, but I have not found this variety listed anywhere.
