<p>[QUOTE="dayriser, post: 918274, member: 21610"]I haven't bought any of those 'shotgun' rolls you speak of, but if you go through the feedback of many of those sellers, you will see a recurring theme... 'nicely staged, 2 nice coins on the end, the rest junk"... The thing I can't figure is why they still give positive feedback when they feel they were duped... I guess they are trying not to get dinged in return, so the best advice is to avoid them like the plague... Another observation: What generation of knuckleknobs in the history of banking, finance, or numismatics has rolled MIXED rolls of dimes and cents?.. I can buy that a really old roll of cents might include IH, wheat, and even FE, but no post-depression grandpa ever sat around rolling coins with Mercury dimes on the end, and if they were sent off to a coin-rolling company, they would have been sorted there as well... Also, as a collector, and seller, if I ever came across one of the mystical ESTATES with all the shotgun rolls with Winged Liberty dimes, IH, FE's and wheats mixed in, every roll would be opened and searched before I got back to my truck... There is ZERO chance that the rolls haven't been rifled through countless times, and it is unscrupulous at best to sell them as 'unsearched'...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
