PT Barnum comes to mind..

 

Are you familiar with P.T. Barnum?

You've got to learn that most eBay sellers lie like a rug.

There's a few threads here about this guy. Most say he's a rip-off. To me, that's a lot of money, but I've seen him sell the same thing for a whole lot more.

 

wish me luck. Mostly all will be 50's wheats.

 

there is no luck you have already lost. your only hope is he jucies the roll s that your feedback helps sucker other people.

 

I would not have bought it but since you already did...Good luck!!

 

I guess you will know how you did when you open the roll and see what is inside. I hope you at least break even but I hate to say you probably will not. "Unsearched Rolls" on ebay are scams

 

Yea...let us know "how did U do"

 

Definitely put together rolls but please post what you receive.

 

Good luck!

 

Jeff - thanks for posting. Indeed it seems the vast majority of "unsearched roll" auctions on ebay are a bit dicey.

Let's be honest.. how many times have you rolled cents, and accidentally included a dime on the butt-end of a roll without noticing?

That said, I think it's admirable that you thought enough of your purchase to post an enquiry here on the forum about it. All any of us can do is 'live and learn', and hope others are kind enough to share their own wisdom and guidance gained from their own past experiences.

Next time, perhaps you could post your item of interest in advance of auction closing?

In addition, for me, I constantly read and research

 

If it was a footlocker of pennies, I might believe it was "unsearched" but a single roll?

 

I have bought unsearched rolls of wheats as well as indian head. I like the price I was getting on both, but I always bought them assuming I would not find the 1878 or the 1922 no d. I think it's safe to figure out the price on the two coins he describes and assume the rest will be the more common wheat penny dates. If that is what you want, and you like the price then go for it.

 

And from a seller that keeps selling these rolls with a funny end coin to boot lol

 

Live and learn i guess!!

 

I hope they accidently put a key date in it for you. I doubt it though, Good Luck...

 

Sometimes with just a couple clicks you can see pretty much what you're getting in these rolls. Went to this sellers feedback as a buyer and wa-la about half way down the list he bought a lot of 6 seated dimes-yours is probably one of those. Also you can see he's bought teens,20's and 30's wheats and IH's to salt his rolls.Here's a link to his feedback: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=kls21483&ftab=FeedbackAsBuyer

 

Its funny how you can watch the steps of these low life sellers on ebay. Almost every one of them has the same thing and most of the time people just dont catch on.

 

He just sold another one on ebay for 66 bucks. If you look at it that way, you did real good.
