<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davedawg, post: 297547, member: 9026&quot;]Personally, I tend to stay away from those auction lots because I bought one once and got junk. IMO I see it like playing a scratch off ticket, you usually don&#039;t win but if you do you win just enough to buy another ticket.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe anything is truly &quot;unsearched&quot;. Most of the lots you see are from people that have over 1000 sales on Ebay, which in my mind says that they sell coins for a living. They&#039;re not going to risk losing a key date coin for a few bucks. Great example, I just received a 5000 count bag of &quot;unsearched&quot; wheaties, all from the 1930&#039;s. First of all, how can they be both unsearched and from the same decade? Out of all 5000, I didn&#039;t find a single coin from 1931-1933. Kinda strange huh? However, I do think they give them a quick once over to check for key dates and don&#039;t examine closely for die varities because I did find 2 1936 DDO&#039;s. So basically, if out of 5000 coins I didn&#039;t find a single key date, what do you think the chances are of you finding a valuable coin in an extremely smaller lot? But that&#039;s just my 2 cents, no pun intended[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
