Does this look like a small date to you?

I would have to say no, not a small date. I wonder if some people confuse the small date as the 7 being lower in the date rather than level with the rest of it? What do some others think.
Just my opinion.

I always get confused on the 1970. Steven, could you do somthing like you did on the 1982 to show the difference?

Hi:

Nice morph movie guys.

Very hard to tell for sure from the E-Bay pics. Looks like a low 7 to me, but I use my scope at 60x and position the coin so the edge of the pic just touches the 9 and 0. If the 7 is also touching the edge we are golden.

Also, I think the 9 is more hooked and pointed on the sm. dt. lastly, there is a crease across the top of the 7 on the lg dt. Am I right?

Yep, Also from what I have seen in most photos of the small date is LIBERTY looks less bold.
