    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    Your chances of finding unsearched wheats are a hair's breadth from zero.

    And I would like to find the perfect woman. I'd say our chances are about equal.

    Unless you can find some rolls that were locked in a bank vault for 60+ years you won't find any. EBay is full of people selling the proverbial "unsearched" roll. The big catch is seeding the ends with semi key dates. This is a good way for someone to unload their many thousands of excess wheats and dump them on someone else.

    I can't believe the number of individuals that look through "unsearched" wheat cents and all the dealers and other individuals that sell "unsearched" wheat cents. No such thing as unsearched wheats. Its been 59 years since the last wheat was made. All wheats have been searched by now, at one time or another. The only unsearched wheat cents are the ones I have not personally searched.

    Welcome to CT.

    The only potential source for truly unsearched wheats would be a long time vending machine operator OR POSSIBLY

    from an old time amusement park owner who began saving cents in 1959. Since most of those folks are dead now you would be trying to buy from their estates. In 1964 I was a kid and bought rolls of cents from the vending machine man. Got lots of early teens for my trouble. He had lots of silver but I couldn't afford it. Back then
    even with a paper route I could only save up to dimes. The quarters and halves were too much of my income to keep.

    Well I did find one seller on ebay that sold rolls for various prices and found every wheat except 2. yes found 09s, 31s, 14d etx and more then one. I am not promoting him just was a honest seller with fun to look at rolls. I think he has them now for about 30 dollars
    not listed as unsearched. As for the heading unsearched..its been about a year since I found any on ebay that were beyond commons. Happy hunting.

    You're more likely to find the perfect woman, in my opinion.

    Listen, this is what all sellers do. They pepper early rolls with really nice coins, and then they jack up the prices and sell them for months/years and more than make up for the cull 09s they slipped in. There is no such thing as unsearched rolls; take this from a guy who dumped a lot of money down the drain a couple years back proving it the hard way.

    I think that by unsearched it basically means not search for errors and varieties. Everyone should know that they are not totally unsearched. I have about 10000 wheat cents and I have sorted many hundreds or them by date/mintmark. So I have certainly searched them but I no interest or knowledge of errors and varieties. My rolls are unsearched for those.

    These are and were not "salted" I first started buying them for half of what they are now, so for 3 rolls for 45 dollars I found over 500 dollars worth of coins, he even lists all the dates and rolls that he tossed in a pile then grabs to fill the rolls, some times you hit, very seldom did I not at least break even , yes there are many sellers on ebay with the end coins a key or semi key date...and if you really believe the rest are of any value..well..you must just like tossing money away.

    When I was a kid and collected pennies I would group them into the decade they were minted then put them in bank paper rolls and write on them "40", "50", "60" etc. I have bunches of them. I'll probably never look through them, so my heirs can sell them if they so desire. Some of the rolls adhesive (to make them round) have stopped adhesing .. so they're falling apart of you lift up the rolls from the containers they are all in. I have others in plastic sandwich bags etc.

    In the last few years I still take all my pennies and separate them into the decade, and store them away. An old habit I got from my dad. But if you ask me .. I don't collect pennies beyond the handful I have in my coin collection - mostly large cents and other early cents and half cents.

    Believe what you want, and remember it as it was, but please stop trying to convince people someone out there is honestly selling unsearched rolls. There is no such thing and it costs people a lot of money to find out the hard way. "he even lists all the dates and rolls that he tossed in a pile then grabs to fill the rolls" case and point that they're not unsearched. Please, just be glad you got in early and got the good stuff. The guys who came after you have been reading your positive feedback and praying they'll make out like you did. They didn't and more won't.

    Wow what a sorry soul, I never said they were UNSEARCHED did I, just making a simple point once in a while you find someone who tells it like it is. They were listed under wheat pennies not unsearched here is a quote from his listing

    this is not some BS salted rolls kind of a deal and you will get fantastic pennies just by the odds and you have a really great chance of getting unbelievable pennies along with the later dates. Look at my feedback on pennies and that will show you that my rolls are legit and not some shady coin dealer garbage, I am NOT a dealer just a LONG time collector who is done collecting. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!!

    Sorry I even tried to discuss it on this site , did not expect snow flake response.

    I'm sorry that you have to be so defensive here. I think the majority of us older collectors agree with most of what he said. I too got hooked for a while by some of these sellers and did find some nice coins. However, in the long haul I spent a lot of money for low value duplicate coins just for a few low grade keys or semi keys. One would expect these once in a lifetime hoards to be sold in a few months. Yet these same sellers are still selling these many years later.

    And please, don't call people snow flakes. I happen to like snow.

    Okay, back in the days when Canada still used pennies... sorry, that would be 'cents' for Americans, apparently... and after the RCM went to the lighter alloys, I kept all of the 1964 and pre-1964 pennies I could find in my pocket change, along with the USA coinage. I have a couple hundred or so USA wheat-backs from that. While it's not likely there is anything of significant value among them, I have never actually looked. So what should I look for right off the top? What years and features would be of interest?
