Is this ebay auction a 1970 S small or large date?

Is it just me or does this appear to be a large date 1970 scent?

In case the auction expires: .

It's NGC graded as a small date 1970 s.

It does look like a large date, but it's NGC graded. One would hope they can tell the difference.

That does kinda look like a large date.

Thanks for the link. I've heard of them being graded incorrectly. The 7's position relative to the 9 & 0 and the 9's tail indicate a large date to me. However, the 7 does lack that tell-tale "ridge" of a large date. (from: http://www.thecentproject.com/sort1970.php

I think by this measure (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.)...it's a large date. Just my two cents.

That looks like a large date to me. Here is another RC link where I discussed this with the OP as well. Too bad the Feebay seller doesn't have a better shot of LIBERTY.
