<p>[QUOTE="jallengomez, post: 2044754, member: 19748"]Those look legit to me, but my guess is that he probably sampled a few rolls and discovered there weren't any major varieties in this group. Usually when you have a single source box like this or bag, the coins all came off the same few dies that were in operation at the time and if you sample a few rolls you pretty much know what all of them are going to be like. That doesn't absolutely preclude the possibility that a die change could have been made while the cents for these rolls were being produced, but it's pretty darn close to 99%. I know many variety collectors(and he's obviously a variety searcher given his Ebay name) who do that when they come across an entire bank box or bag. Sample a few rolls and if there is nothing good in those then sell the rest as OBW rolls(which they are.) Aside from that, these rolls are way too overpriced even for OBW.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
