Are these examples of small and large date? The 7's are totally different and so is  the bust of Lincoln.  One 7 stems out more and is thinner.  The s on the coins are also different amount of spaces apart.  I think I have found the small and large date

Thank you for your question. We are not able to determine the coin variety via the images provided. The 1970 S small date coin or "level date," is the more scarce of the two. The tops of the "7" and "0" are aligned. For the large date, which is more common, the "0" is clearly higher than the "7." This style was used for all "P" and "D" cents as well as the majority of "S" cents. Please refer the the link below for examples of both.
