The auction looks promising, but I am still skeptical. http://cgi.ebay.com/Unsearched-Linc...6|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1309|301:1|293:1|294:50
dont believe anyone who says rolls are unsearched... just think how hard it woul be to have a friend buy some rolls, and then report they found 10 SVDB's even when all they found were 40's and 50's? very easy i am afraid!
If you like to play the lottery go for it!! There is no way I would waste my hard earned money on the ther term "unsearched"!!
Exactly...none of these rolls are unsearched. If there was a realistic chance of finding a 1909-S VDB or a 1922 No D, this person would be searching the rolls because of the profit possibility.
I think I will just stick to what my friend gets me because. 1. I have seen him just dump rolls into a bag without sorting them (may or may not be sorted by the previous person) 2. He lets me dump the bag out so I can get an idea of whats there.
Check his feedback, 3 negs all say 40's & 50's. I wouldn't take a chance. If you do let us know how you make out if you do!
Seriously? Unsearched bags are rare enough. Unsearched bags on eBay are even more so. Sweet wheatz: I intend no disrespect, but with all you've posted here about wheat cents, I thought you'd know better.
i wouldnt buy 'unsearched' rolls. i once bought a tube of wheats on ebay... auction said it would have atleast 1 steel penny....was all but 1 steel penny and the copper wheat, was green. will never buy again without seeing the actual coin(s) i'll be paying for, lesson well learned
I sold $1.50 worth of Wheats last year on eBay.....I checked the bidders feedback, and he was one of the big sellers of "Unsearched Wheat Rolls" on eBay. I guess was also at "war" with another seller (The lot ended up selling for $12.50), seeing that the lot was mostly 30's, 40's and 50's that i've pulled out of circulation over the past few years. And yes, I did mention in my auction that my stuff was searched, save for any Error or Die Varieties.
If it sounds to good to be true, If it sounds to good to be true, well you know the rest. These rolls on eBay are contrived - we didn't see stuff like this as much until about 3 years ago. Those that have a roll with one Indian on the end I'm sure are contrived or put together. I have never known anyone that found a 09-S VDB in such rolls or for that matter in any bag, box or hoard - it may have happened but I've never heard of it.
No disrespect taken. I don't intend to buy from any ebayers like this. I have my own trusted suipplier. I had an idea what was going on with this. I just wondered if anyone fell for it. I think something should be done about these guys and was using him as a way to make a point. But what can be done?
I actually bought from that guy 2 rolls. I figured they were searched and Just wanted to fill some rolls. Every now and then I get into trouble at work for searching for wheats (I end up with 2 dollars in pennies in a few registers and for some reason they get mad) LOL So I bought some I think I only got a few to fill holes in the second half of the wheat section all the rest I already had. The rolls were extremely old looking and nearly falling apart. Here's what I found. Roll #1 1-1919 1-1920 1-1934 1-1936 1-1937 1-1938 2-1939 3-1940 3-1941 1-1942 7-1944 1-1945d 2-1946 1-1947 1-1951d 3-1952d 3-1953d 4-1956d 2-1957 5-1957d 5-1958d Roll #2 1-1918 2-1919 1-1920 1-1928 1-1930 1-1934 3-1935 1-1936 1-1937 4-1940 2-1941 2-1942 3-1944 4-1945 1-1946 1-1947 2-1948 2-1951 1-1951d 1-1952d 6-1953d 1-1955 4-1956d 3-1958d 1-1981!!!!!!!!! All in all what I expected.
That guy looks sketch to me--I bet he knows that those rolls are filled with common varieties. The whole bit about purchasing them from the same elderly gentleman who has been hoarding them since his depression era childhood smells like a fable meant to cook up illusions of hidden treasure in the minds of potential customers.
