1970 Small date or large?

Hello. I have a 1970 penny and I'm trying to figure out how to tell if this is a small or large date. The pictures I took with my phone camera don't do this coin justice. This coin really shines and has a deep red look, almost like a proof when in hand. I don't know why the camera made it look so rough. My main questions is if it the small date or large. Any input would greatly be appreciated! Thank you!

large date imo, the 7 is low

edit: obvious alert, that's not an S business strike LOL (ie no S mintmark)

 

Thanks Miedbe7! I appreciate it! I find it very challenging to determine these small and large dates even with a 22x loop!

 

is there any such thing as a Philadelphia Small Date???

 

Nope only 1970-s business strikes and proof strikes

Obviously a large date as the only small date variety is present on the 1970-S.
Keep up the hunt!
