[QUOTE="JobIII, post: 1479660, member: 38809"]My friend wrote a short piece regarding ebays unsearched rolls. Here is the link it's a quick but informative read --> [URL="http://coinwholesales.blogspot.com/2012/02/beware-of-ebay-items-that-sound-too.html"]Beware of Ebay unsearched rolls[/URL]. Basically you shouldn't buy them thinking you're going to find major rarities, because most [not saying all] of these rolls have been doctored. People have crimping machines and put 2 decent but not very expensive coins on the ends and fill it with commons and they sell well above what their worth. I have searched a lot of bank wrapped rolls and will tell you this. If you're in this hobby to find the key dates, it's not going to happen very quickly. You'll amass a huge amount of lesser common to rare examples before finding [if ever] a key date coin. For example, I sorted over 6 million pennies and haven't found a 1909S, 1909S VDB, 1914D, 1924D, 1931S. What I have been able to do is trade / sell the coins I find in my searching for cash or more desirable coins. Welcome to coin collecting! ~JobIII[/QUOTE]
