I still like flea markets

Went to a flea market that I usually go to on the weekend. A while ago there was a guy there that had a bunch of Mercury Dimes and I bought them all for a song. After that he was there everyweekend on Fridays but never had any more coins. I asked why and he said another dealer there bought him out at about 5 AM every weekend. This time the other guy wasn't there yet so I grabbed what he had. 8 Liberty Head Dimes from 1902 to 14 in only G4 condition. 34 Mercury Dimes from 1923 to 45 in F12 to AU50. 10 1943 steel Lincoln Cents from F12 to MS conditions. Offered $32 and he took it. He even said I over paid what he wanted by a quarter. Then that other dealer showed up and grabbed about 100 other cheaper coins that I didn't want. As I was ready to leave I looked down at this ugly, dirty 2"x 4" flip with a few cents in it. I asked how much and he said take it for a dollar. I was going to try chewing him down but figured he looked like he could use the money. Here is the dirty flip:

    i'm not sure what the high and low 7 is, but
    the mercury dimes sound like you got a good value on.

    Well since those are 1970-S cents, if they are what they claim to be, then you have a large and small date.

    Flea markets are great, but they're uncommon in New England. In Tennessee, where I lived the first 32 years of my life, there were flea markets everywhere.
