<p>[QUOTE="Sullysullinburg, post: 2132846, member: 73996"]Well here is my thinking. I don't want to be those people who have those seeded rolls. Here's the story behind the jar. I bought it at a coin show from a dealer for $30. I saw they were going for about $50 on eBay so I got it. I asked him about the jar and he said it was from the 1960's and worth about $7.50. I posted a photo of it on Instagram and someone did confirm that it was from the 60's and worth about $7.50. I didn't search through it because I thought if a dealer sold it to me for $30 then why would their be any coins in it worth selling on its own. So I thought if I put it on eBay and didn't search through it then I would get more then if I searched through it, found nothing worth selling on its own and then got less because I would have to put that a searched through it. Also the $14 shipping was my Dad's idea. He used eBay back in its infant year where you could get away with charging crazy amounts for shipping. I wanted to go with $12 (the cost of shipping rounded up to the nearest dollar) but if I didn't do what he said I wouldn't get to do it at all. So far I have two bids so I don't think people a too turned off at the fact that I have no reviews but only time will tell. Thanks for everything so far and keep it coming, I love hear what you guys think and learning all the tips![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
