[QUOTE="clembo, post: 278408, member: 8033"]Welcome to the forum B and glad you asked that question. No these are NOT unsearched. At some point someone went through them. As for kegs of coins it's pretty simple. Dealers buy in volume at 2 or 3 cents apiece. There are still a lot of wheats out there. Not as much in circulation but in hoards that people kept. I have a few thousand myself. The kegs they picture probably aren't full anyway. More likely lined with a few thousand wheats on top to make it "look" full. Really - how much would a keg of wheats weigh? These seller will often "salt" lots as well. Toss in a decent date that the buyer just "finds". Makes for good feedback. I have sold wheats in the past as "searched" because they were. I also told potential buyers I would "salt" them depening on the bid. That's how it really works. Some are just more honest about it.[/QUOTE]
