<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2509427, member: 59737"]Okay, being a fellow veteran who came back from Afghanistan and bought tons and tons of these, I can PROMISE you that you're wasting your money. I'm embarrassed to say my expenditures were close to the 4 digit dollar realm and all I got out of it were a bunch of crappy cents. I got some nice uncirculated coins, some junk/cull IHCs, even some of the older ones to include Flying Eagle Cents. I lost a lot of money. Yes, they actually do plant coins in there to hook you and keep you interested. They pepper rolls with nice coins and even will throw in an 1877 or 1908-S, or something really sexy so people go "no way, that's legit!" and spend spend spend. Do yourself a favor, don't spend any more on rolls off of eBay. They've all been searched and rerolled. All of them. Just go with that mentality from here on out, trust me and everyone else who played that silly game and lost big. We're not discouraging you out of jealousy, it's out of experience. You're more than welcome to learn from your own mistakes but you're better off learning from ours.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
