Are these rolls are fulled with new cents with the same year? It is from Ebay. The link is: http://cgi.ebay.com/LOTS-OF-WHEAT-P...570|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1309#ebayphotohosting Thank you.
RUN!!! Run as fast as you can ... the other way. There are loads of Red Flags in that auction listing. IMO you will get taken.
Hi, I participate in a forum of coins in Israel. Someone tell me that the sellers are fill coins from different years and make rolls. I don't believe him, so I ask this question. I am sorry if the question is stupid question, But I didn't understand your answer. Thank you all.
Sorry, didn't realize you were not American and would not understand some of our slang. And there is no such thing as a stupid question. It is only stupid if you do not ask the question. Asking questions is how you learn. The term "Red Flag" means something that does not seem right. 1. "NO SOLID TYPE ROLLS TO MY KNOWLEDGE. ALL THE ROLLS SHOULD CONTAIN LOTS OF WHEATIES AND SOME INDIANS. A BUNCH OF ROLLS ALSO SHOW FLYING EAGLES & COPPER CENTS." Nowhere in the description does it say that you will ONLY get wheat cents, indian head and flying eagles. A lot of what you do not see could be memorial cents. 2. "I GOT THESE COINS FROM ESTATE SALES, DEALER LIQUIDATIONS & INDIVIDUAL SALES..." Standard statement that is generally considered nonsense. 3. "I will only give refunds on these rolls if they are unopened." How are you going to know if what has been said is the truth? You HAVE to open the roll. This is just a way of covering himself if and when things are not nearly what he is advertising. 4. "I'm using a stock photo for this auction." Another likely coverup. The whole listing says "bad deal" to me.
ONLY buy a roll of cents if you 1. are guaranteed that you are getting the roll that is pictured, AND 2. you know what coins are at the open ends of the roll, AND 3. you need the coins at the open ends of the rolls, AND 4. the price of the roll is no more than 50 cents more than the value of those end coins, AND 5. the seller has at least a 99% favorable rating with at least 500 sales, AND 6. there is an absolute refund policy, AND 7. you have a reasonable use for the excess coins that you don't need or want. I have made good deals through ebay for these types of coins. One roll had an S-mint IHC at one end; several others had S-mint Lincolns from the teens showing. I have gotten every S-mint Lincoln from 1909-S through 1931-S (except 1926-S) from these rolls, in addition to ICHs from 1887 (and a few earlier) through 1909 (no S). There's no guarantee that you'll do as good, but looking through the rolls is a fun way to waste time. As far as the auction you are looking at, If you got the roll with the Flying Eagle (not the damaged one) it would be well worth the $10 bid (plus shipping). The IHCs are most likely 1887 and later and would have to be at least AU to be worth the price.
Hi, I agree with the above postings that it has several indications of being a questionable deal. but when you read the detailed feedback, the large majority feel they received their value from the roll. I suspect the average roll, broken down would probably have a value to the buyer of less than the price. But people still play the lottery when the chances of winning are a lot less than buying one roll of these, and this might give more fun. Of course that is why I still have hundreds of rolls of wheats to sell someday Jim
