Good or bad buy?

Indeed, but the point was that it can easily be done (with practice) no matter the type of wrapper used, be it tubes, re-rolls, fresh paper, or whatever. Buyers, particularly those new to rolls, shouldn't ever place weight into the fact one appears to be "machine" rolled and simply because looks can and often are meaningless.

Although I've openly given details in the past, I hesitate to do so now due to the sheer number of folks we see looking for a quick buck.

Let's just say that you're halfway there.

Sorry I missed it before Books. Took care of it.

 

Oy... I wasn't being serious.

 

Yes you were........

 

Well, yeah... but not in that way.

 

Just to keep everyone updated, Here are the two listed coins from the roll. And my favorite penny from it, mostly because of how it tarnished.

 

I have a fun story from these rolls. Way back when, I could see a seller’s pruchase history theough their feedback. This guy liked randomly spicing the ends of rolls with genuine key dates (usually 1916 D Mercs and 1908 S IHCs). So what I would do is look for the key date purchases in the seller’s history, and match the coins to the ends of the rolls. Scored a few key dates that way.

 

That just shows how much of a scam it was. A junk silver Merc and two Wheaties that are barely worth $5 altogether.

 

$1.45 together
