Help identify these 70-S Cents

I am trying to fill my memorial cent album and I am not positive about the small and large date 70-S Cents. I have 4 of them pictured here. Can you guys tell me if I have one of each here. The 2 on the bottom (if I were guessing) would be small date. The one on the top left might possibly be a large date????
I would rather have an empty hole than have the wrong coin in it.
I never met a coin that wouldn't fit in my collection.....

    I am surprised you can tell at all, after I look at the pictures here. I will try and get better pics.

    That might help, the pic's are a little fuzzy. The darn things are hard enough trying to tell having them in hand.

    Some of the other linlcon guys might could tell quite easily if the pic's were a tad better.

    The upper left might be small date. I'm pretty sure the others are not.

  • They're all large date, from what i can see. But take a look for yourself.

  • Note how poorly Liberty is struck. That's easier to see than the top of the 7.

    They are all large date. The horizontal crease on the 7 always tells.

    Tough to tell with those pics, but they all look like large dates to me because of the clear liberty strikes. image

    The crease in the 7 and the curl of the 9 are the best diagnostics, IMO. Coppercoins, how in the heck can you see the crease?? image
