[QUOTE="trogdor, post: 754571, member: 21943"]Perhaps I'm just a skeptic, but I just can't believe any "unsearched" stories, especially on Ebay. I also can't believe that such a roll could ever exist naturally with a 1909 S and a 1914-D both heads side up, I mean what are the odds? Even if that did occur, you expect me to believe the finder of said roll didn't open it up immediately? As for the shotgun wrapped nature of the roll - this can be achieved via a cheap plastic tool called a twist-n-crimp. This tool works moderately well, but does not achieve a perfect shotgun wrapped look like a more expensive machine. A very similar look, I might add to the roll you posted. Even if it did look perfect, I would chalk it up to the seller having access to one of the industrial crimping machines. I'd also be be very worried about the unseen areas of these coins - deep gouges, scratches, corrosion, unsightly rim bumps...the list is endless. As for the areas I can see - I don't like the color of the 09-S, I'd guess cleaned as well :/ Sorry to be negative about it..I'm just a skeptic. Ben[/QUOTE]
