People who take "unsearched" wheat pennies, put Indian Heads or Mercury Dimes on both ends of the roll, and charge ridiculous amounts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNSEARCHED-...505459?hash=item235c023b33:g:QyMAAOSwo0JWMqob Just... no. Oh yeah, and some market their rolls with "1909-S VDB Found" when they probably seeded a searched roll.
I came up with a cunning plan to scam these guys. First you order one of this roll, open it and look to see if you got anything good. When you see you for nothing but junk, call eBay and say "He said the roll would only have coins from 1856 to 1958 but I found 3 coins from after 1958!" eBay finds in your favor you send back to roll but take out any good coins and replace them with junk and tada. I don't suggest anyone do this.
Back in 2010 & 2011, ( when I used EBAY ) I took a chance on a few of this type, usually getting them at the last couple seconds. The only ones I bid on, were the ones showing a VDB on the end of the roll. Of course they were all 1909 VDB's, but the loss was not as huge. Never paid over $10. So from buying a few rolls with the VDB and all the collections I have bought over the years, I have a roll of 1909 VDB's in various states of condition put away. Working on another roll.
I lost a lot of money a few years back because of this. Oh well, they say you learn more from failures than you do from success.
C'mon, if you are going to say stuff like this in jest, at least put a smiley face...better not to say stuff like this at all. : - (
Bought a couple rolls as stocking stuffers. Knew I overpaid but was fun watching the kids rip through them and compare.
I'm waiting for one of them to try to put a cull large cent on the end of a wheat cent roll. "This is totally unsearched... someone just randomly rolled this large cent unknowingly..." And yes I'm aware that this shouldn't be physically possible.
Yeah but you might find it in a roll of half dollars. I have seen them put an ancient roman coin in the end of the roll. Sure like that showed up in circulation.
100th post!!! What about a roll of silver dimes with an 1893 POSSIBLE S!!! Morgan Silver Dollar showing at the end?
