Roll-searchers, post your results!

I looked at the feedback that that seller has recieved as a "buyer".
The most recent item he "bought" that he received feedback for was 1000 coin wrappers.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310212050742

All of this seller's preceeding feedback received as a "buyer" has been from unsearched rolls or bags of unsearched wheats.

It is always a good idea to see what the person selling an item is actually buying themselves.

so i did bad....

 

Not necessarily.
From my own personal experience in buying "unsearched" rolls of wheats over the past 4 months , I can tell you that even if the seller didn't search the rolls , that someone has searched through the cents that are in the rolls at some point in time and nearly all key dates are gone or if there is a key date in the roll it will more than likely be a cull coin in less than AlmostGood condition.

Please do not be dis-heartened by my jaded view of "unsearched" rolls , but it does help to research ( as thoroughly as possible ) any item that you are going to buy sight un-seen.

I still gamble on wheat rolls sometimes but I only go for the ones where I know that the end coins are valuable and I can see their general conditions in the provided photographs. I know they cost way more than your typical $9.00 unsearched wheat rolls but they really hurt a lot less when the unknown contents inside are all at least in fine or better condition.

Check out this seller:

This is probably the only roll seller I will buy from in the future & only when the end coins would absolutely bring a premium.

 

thanks a ton for the advice and recomendation i was looking for a cheap roll to fill holes in my brand new album...

 

I should start rolling all my unsearched wheaties and putting them on ebay...

 

i just found a 1940 and another 1957(well this one is a D). but they still have luster! i never found anything but brown wheats, now in 2 days i find 3 shiny ones. i just hope my next one will be an 09-s-vdb! i can then toss out that pesky brown, filler!

 

Question for unsearched rolls of wheat pennies. How come sometimes the ends have like a mercury dime on the end if it is suppose to be a penny roll?

 

To entice buyers to buy the rolls in hope that there's more in there.

 

First Year Issue?... Change of design? Who knows ,but they sell for 60 bucks on eBay.

 

I buy rolls sometimes too, but I try to get a price around 5 cents a coin. I bought 16 rolls last month for $45, so 800 coins at 5.6 cents per coin. I know most of them will be common, but at 5-6 cents a coin I still think they are worth it.

I guess I am saying, I seriously doubt any of the 'unsearched' auctions, so assume they are all common and price accordingly. I have never done those rolls with valuable coins showing, but I might try, as long as they are pennies. I would not by a penny roll with some other denomination showing, because clearly those rolls were put together like that intentionally.

 

thats really what im looking for is common dates for my album but if i get lucky and get something good.... well thats just an added bonus! i will tell yall what i find!

 

I went through a SWEET box of halves this morning, the most silver halves I have found before in a box was 20 this one had 39 silver halves in it! 38 40%ers mostly dated 67 and 68 and 1 1964 half getting 2 more today hopefully they will be similar to that monster box

 

Lincoln - First, congrats!

Were they Brinks boxes? Loomis? Do tell, brother.

Thanks.

Tom

 

nice finds lincolnhoarder.

 

3 boxes of halves: 7-40%, 82p no fg, 87d.
5 more boxes tomorrow, hope I do a little better (like lincolnhoarder)

 

Lincolnhoardr: Congrats, nice box!!!!

I had my best box in a few weeks today as well.
2 64
2 66
7 67
4 69
for a total of 2 90%ers and 13 40%ers.

The box was quite the strange though, about 75% of the box were MS 2000P coins.

Have one more to go through, hoping for more (silver)........

 

Have you hugged your teller today?

Guys, I know you may be getting tired of teller posts but I am a roll searcher by heart. Problem is my tellers are getting me a lot more silver than my boxes lately. Today I stopped in one of my banks to make a deposit. My teller says "we had a customer with what looked liked some old halves dump them in the machine." Anyway, she asks if I want to look...she pulls out the container and right away I see a walker on top. She dumps all the coins on the counter and WE go through them. Total find:

3 walker halves 1936, 1940, 1943
18 1964's All in INCREDIBLE shape
21 40%'ers

I spent $21 on the halves and $3 on snow cones for the tellers and in return I got over $175 in silver. She got a hug lol.

As soon as I can find my wife's camera I will post a pic.


Bob, nice box...jealous as my boxes have been in a long rutt


Erin

 

I had a little trouble with the camera but here are 2 shots. I hope you will be able to zoom in for a little better view. The roll in the first pic is the 1964's with the 3 walkers on top. The second pic in a litle bit zoomed in of the 90%ers.

Sorry not better pics...

Erin

 

Send 'em my way, I'll take better pics for ya.

 

my tellers are becoming my friends quickly too, being friendly to them helps out alot. heck one of them is even a hottie, starting to flirt with her more and more. lol never know where this coin obession might lead.

gonna go through 26 dollars in nickels and a box of pennies, ill post results.
