No, they are large dates. Bob and I already answered on the first post as we could see them.....and you can take Bob's answer to the bank.

How can you say these are not 1970-S Small Date, after viewing the image examples of the 1970-S Small Date on http://www.lincolncentresource.com website, and URL Link to website is http://www.lincolncentresource.com/s...smalldate.html, are you telling me they are wrong to, I think these coins look just like http://www.lincolncentresource.com/s...smalldate.html website.
The easiest way to tell the difference is to look at the 9. If the loop of the 9 bends sharply toward the 7, it
is a small date. If the loop of the 9 is angled toward the top of the mintmark, it is a large date. The nine
in the small date is also "wider" looking than the 9 in the large date.
Another way to tell the difference is the height of the 7. In the small date the top of the 7 is just about
level with the 1,9 and 0. In the large date the top of the 7 is lower than the 1,9 and 0. Beware, this way
can be very deceiving.
A third way to tell the difference is by looking at the word LIBERTY. In the small date the word LIBERTY
is weak, especially the top of the E and Y. In the large date the word LIBERTY is struck well with no
letters blending into the field.
If your only looking at the height of the 7, you may not be able to tell the difference. Try looking at the 9,
because it is by far the best way to differentiate the two.

The biggest tell-tale sign is the bottom of the 7 relative to the bottom of the 0 (zero). On the large date, the bottom of the 7 is visibly lower than the bottom of the 0.

usmarble - Here are pics of my 1970-S small date. compare the mushy "LIBERTY" on my coin to yours then look at the "7" in the date for position North.
I hate to be a pessimast here and I hope i'm wrong but alot of these posts might not be for an answer but for a picture. wheather to help I.D. " I hope" or to use to sell a coin in other places, without the owners permission. Remember pictures are property that if identified can get the user in ALOT of trouble! Eric

another way to tell the difference is the inside curl of the 9. on a small date that inside curl is pointed, a large date is blunt. most of the small dates have a good many die polish marks present.

Guys, this is a duplicate post and has already been discussed and answered along with comparison pics...(just so you you're aware)

Marble,
The only one of yours that may be a small date is pic 1 but the pic is not clear enough to really tell... Also pic 5 is to blurry to even attempt a decision!!!

Put this to bed all are large dates. I have one and I have searched many.
