Possible 1970 Small Date Penny??

[treasure777]

I remember buying a shake a the fast food place near my house, and I looked at what I got in my change very closely, and I did research on the high and small date for the 1970 penny. I think I might have gotten the all small date 1970. But not sure if it is double die observe as well?

looks to me like the common large date. The 7 looks to sit slightly lower than the other numerals. this link shows a good example 1970-S 1c Large & Small Date Comparisons

I also think it's a large date, use a straight edge and compare your coin to the photos shown in Jewelerguy's link or this photo.

Icewing the difference is very subtle, on the small date the 1, 7 and 0 all touch the "lines/planes" at the top and bottom, on the large date the 7 dips below the lines by a tiny margin.
