<p>[QUOTE="steve63, post: 2592628, member: 76463"]Whether you should buy "unsearched" wheat rolls depends on what you are trying to accomplish. I bought a few such rolls on Ebay once but I knew that in all likelihood they were not truly unsearched. But I did trust that all of them would be wheats. It turned out just as I expected. the rolls were filled with common date wheats. But at the time I was trying to help my son start his own collection and buying a few such rolls was my way of helping him "jump start" it since his first effort was to try and fill a Lincoln Cent album. So I think the bottom line is if you see anything advertised as "unsearched wheats", the "wheats" part is probably true but the "unsearched" is not. So if you are looking for key dates only, don't bother. But if you are just looking to fill a bunch of empty album holes then go for it, just don't expect to find anything of more value than what you paid for the roll.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
