They have done it....topped $1000 with a roll and a story. I am stunned. http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-s-Wheat-ro...ryZ11944QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
OMG, that's insane! There's no guarantee that there's more than 2 1909's in that roll. He already stated that. The mere fact that it SAYS "All 1909" on there doesn't mean anything. Oh man... Someone is going to get screwed.
Hey, with a bag of wheats and a roll of VDB's, we can all be freakin millionaires. I'm goin to bed...goodnight gang, have a good one. These buyers deserve what they get. Forget it.

Jack you know you're gonna wake up tomorrow and check first thing in the morning... I know I am :whistle:
I see that the seller with the 1909-S lincolns in a shotgun also sold a roll of Indian Heads on Feb. 14 for $999. Turns out that one end was showing a 'S' mintmark - therefore it had to be either a 1908-S or a 1909-S. This one, he got it at a storage unit auction. Guy sure is one lucky dude!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190198282085
I watched the auction down to the last second. With just five clicks left it was at $1126 then with 1 second left, it was sniped for a closing price of... ready for this.... $1200 for a roll of lincolns. Holy crap!
Wanted to get an early start today but always gotta check CT. It's 4:30 and I suddenly feel like throwing up. If I had the finances I'd buy every one of his rolls just to return them unopened.
That description is really funny! an original machine wraped roll and it says all 1909's? How could he know, unless he opened the roll?
I have had a storage facility (206 units) for 7 years, opened a few hundred for non-payment and the only coins I have found are circulated state quarters in a cardboard holder. lol Gee, maybe I just ain't "lucky".
Maybe its really an optical illusion and the Obv is the 1909S and the reverse is a VDB.. : ) Alot of nothing inbetween? I can't believe anyone would fall for the story after reading his/her other auctions. Should be a law against this.
