Not bad, but I wouldn't pay more than $10 for it IMO. Never really know. I doubt it is unsearched, being it was wrapped by a coin wrapping machine, but, if you want it, I'd say go for it. Best of luck. :thumb: Phoenix
in todays market, it is very rare to find anythign that hasnt been search by someone. It might not have been searched by the current owner, but somwhere down the line, it has been. Usually, the ' unsearched' claim is just that.. a claim to attract buyers
I recently purchased a roll from this seller. It contained: 17 - Teens 16 - Twenties 12 - Thirties 5 - Forties 6 - Denver 4 - San Francisco All the coins were well circulated, with just a couple being EF+ Based on the quality and date distribution, in my opinion these coins had absolutely been searched at some point in time.
I admit I am a sucker for "unsearched" wheat cents. I agree that they have been searched by somebody at one time or another. Sometimes someone misses something. I have found some rare coins in such lots. Keep an eye out for mint errors - they are missed sometimes.
If you have already bid, pray that someone outbids you. If you haven't, keep your finger off the trigger. That is not an "original" roll from a bank or armored car company. The crimping was not done by a wrapping machine. It was done by a little plastic gadget that sells in sets of four sizes (cent, nickel, dime, quarter) for a couple of bucks, to be used with pre-formed rolls that come with one end crimped. If you have any bank/armored car rolls on hand, compare the crimped ends with the picture in this auction. IMHO the seller is the last person who searched the roll and chose to put a 1914 on the end.
Beware of the newest trick you roll buyers, they will put a vdb reverse on one end and sell a $15 coin and a $4 roll for $75 bucks , and they do it regularly. It cannot be stated enough......NO rolls are unsearched by date/mm
