    Hello all,

    So I'm looking on Ebay to make my first purchase ever from there.

    The items I'm thinking about bidding on are rolls of Wheaties and Indian heads.

    The seller claims that they (the rolls) haven't been opened, but I'm not too sure about that.

    I just wanted to know if its worth it or not.

    Thanks,

    Chas.

    Edit: Here's an example of the bid.

    Well, I can go down the road and buy all the rolls I want for $3 a piece not open them and call them unsearched. Its your money, you also might be surprized by what you (might) find...

    No-go. Common wheats. Common, low-grade indians. Nearly universally true.

    Always assume all rolls have been opened and searched at some point. Maybe not by the current seller ... as in, I personally have not opened these rolls.

    Rest assured someone most likely did search them at some point.

    It is fine to buy them if the price is right, and they are what you want, but just go in with eyes wide open.
