Comparing your photo with those in the Red Book (2010 ed.), I regret
to inform yours is a large date. The distinguishing feature is the
location of the "7". A small date cent has a "high 7" (the top of the
"7" is even with the top of the "0"). The large date has a "low
7" (the top of the "7" is slightly below the top of the "0").

Doesn't look like one to me. For it to be a small date (aka hi-7) the 970
must all be the same height. Check my website and you will see what one
looks like.

Hope this helps.
