Possible 1970-s small date, need opinions!

[BuffaloBoy]

Hey folks, I was going through a penny box and I always check for the 72 DDO and 70S small date, and I came across this cent, it appears to be a 1970s small date by the inside curve of the 9, but I am not entirely sure... Can anybody help me determine if it is indeed a 1970s small date cent? And I know it is in bad shape, does it have any particular value to it?

Here's the site I used to distinguish it from the other 1970-s penneis.
Thanks

Sorry, Buff. Keep on looking. The site you linked is very good in explaining the differences. Just looking at the nine, yours does not curve and point at the seven. Yours is pointing at the mintmark.
