Hey everyone...I just listed an unsearched roll of pennies, promised to have a coin from the 40's and 50's or your money back!!! jk lol hahahah
WHAT? You all doubt the integrity and honesty of people that sell unsearched coins? Why I thought every one realize that all coins stating unsearched are actually unsearched. Just why would ANYONE state that if it wasn't true? Some of my best friends, used to be used car salepeople, now sell unsearched coins all the time. Some resell them many times over too. On a serious note though, a dealer I know sells small paper bags of Lincoln Cents at coin shows. On the bag it states "100 unsearched Wheat type Lincoln Cents". In small letters also says "At least one coin in the 20's or 30's" and "at least one 43 Steel cent". He tells me those are his biggest sellers. NO ONE has ever asked him how does he know about those certain coins if he didn't look.
Probably because they realize that the easiest way to guarantee that those coins are in there is to make sure you add them to every bag. It doesn't mean that he has any idea what else is in the bag. Believe it or not dealers who handle a lot of bulk as a rule DO NOT search them. They know that the likelyhood of finding anything really good is so low that it isn't worth their time.
I recently bit on an "unsearched buffalo nick" roll. I figured it would be a waste of money, and it was. All, and I mean ALL, of the coins were of low quality. Most of them had barely readable dates, or were scratched, corrroded, ect. It was kinda fun to sift through them though. As for being unsearched, how could they be if they all had readable dates, you would figure a few dateless would be in there also. Same seller also sells "dateless unsearched rolls" - how could he be so sure they were dateless if he didn't search them.
I read a post by a guy on a different forum who offered to sell 2500 wheats at about 3 cents each - a very good deal - but he acknowledged they had been searched. Not a single taker. Meanwhile on Ebay just yesterday a seller sold 500 "unsearched" wheat cents for about 6 cents each, plus $9.95 for shipping (which itself is excessive since it costs $4.95 for priority shipping of that amount of coins). I think people just want to be lied to.
Not in this case. He actually told me he only puts coins in those bags he has checked very carefully. I'm sure most do the same. The main thing most forget it when anyone says ALL UNSEARCHED Wheat Cents, just how would they know what they are unless they looked at each one. If I said I had 5 Nickels in my pocket and all are 1955's but I never looked, how would I know? Or here is a bag of Buffalo Nickels and all have dates but they are UNSEARCHED, how would I know? All unsearched coins are just searched coins.
These people on ebay who try the unsearched bull would probably do better if they sold them as rolls of certain years or decades.
