Thank you for advice. :D
Well, I think the decisive factor in small date of 1970 S penny is the direction at the end of the number 9.
If we look at the picture I posted, the end of 9 is heading in *a direction,I think.Am I getting this wrong?

Correct....
Probably the best indicator from one to the next is that the font of the entire date is completely different on the small date coin than on the large date. It all comes down to the “9” in the year, “1970”. The “9” on this variety shows the tail of the upper loop tapered more to a point and curved up slightly higher than on the large date version, and this is how most collectors discern one from the other.

The point of the 9 is easiest for me.

I agree with your opinion a hundred percent.
In case of 1960,1970,1982 penny,
"It should be called type1,type2 dates"
