Another good find at the coin show

Hi all,
I hope you all don't mind me sharing my finds here. I tell my wife but she just looks at me with a blank stare and a "that's nice Honey". Anyway, I enjoyed finding my doilies yesterday (posted yesterday), so I decided to go back to the coin show in Mesa AZ, even though it is a 90 mile drive round trip. I picked up a few things for my collection, sold a little silver, and then came across 91/2 rolls of 1970-S cents. 11/2 were in plastic tubes and the remaining 8 were wrapped in older looking paper wrappers, not the crimped kind, but the kind you roll yourself. I figured at $2 a roll, for $19 I couldn't go too wrong. I started with the full plastic tube because it had already spilled out into my baggie. I have never found a 1970-S in all of my roll searching, but this roll produced 5 of those little suckers!!
I was really pumped. The half roll produced nothing so I ventured into the paper rolls. At the show, I just unwrapped the ends of a couple to verify that inside was the 1970-S written on the wrapper.
Unfortunately, these were pretty much junk. Uncirculated, but spotted really, really ugly! I looked through them anyway with no results.
Final tally: 5 BU 1970-S small date cents for $19.00. Not a bad weekend of coin hunting.
