So after going through more than an entire roll of 1970S cents, there was only 1 that I think is a small date...and of course, it's the one that is in the worst condition...lol. Anyways, here's a pic, I'd appreciate input from you pros.

IMO, the IBE looks like a weak strike, the numbers line up, and the 9 looks hooked......

1970-S-Small-Date...maybe??

Other interesting finds from the roll+ were 3 AU+/BU cents...

Looks like a Low 7 Large date to me. The 7 on the small date is level with the 9 and 0, the large date 7 is a bit lower than the 9 and 0

I see a LD too, due to the shape of the inner hook of the 9. Here's a good diagnostic page. Good luck on finding one...a guy here recently picked one out of a roll

I might add, what helps here in attribution are having LIBERTY and the date horizontal. Otherwise, it's easy for the eyes to play tricks.

I've added a comparison of LD to SD. Since the date is pretty battered to judge by shapes, I added a few baselines. Naturally, there are other ways to tell.
