[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1000579, member: 112"]Yes, it can happen. But it is no where near as common as you make it sound. One reason I know that is because collectors struggled for years trying to find a way to keep their coins from toning in paper rolls. They even used to wrap them in tin foil first and then slip it back inside the paper roll. The other problem of course is just how many of those old paper rolls do you really think were really original ? Or do you believe that there are unsearched rolls on ebay too ? That is not something new ya know. The unsearched roll scam has been going on longer than I have been alive. It was commonplace to remove the coins from the roll, dip some, and then replace them leaving the toned coins on the outer ends of the roll. A great many of those dealers you speak of were fooled back then just like the newbies on ebay are now. Coins tone - period. And to find untoned coins of more than say 30 years old is one of two things - very rare, or dipped. And you know what I think of the word rare.[/QUOTE]
