<p>[QUOTE="Petee, post: 1370023, member: 36123"]I was wondering about all those rolls on ebay with the nice coins on the end. It really didnt make sense to me. First, as was pointed out, the odds seem like they'd be pretty long on a rare coin just happening to be at the end, especially with some sellers having tons of these rolls. Second, seems like if there was a likely chance that the rolls had much value the seller would be opening them and making more money. Unless you just happened upon an ebay seller with an overwhelming sense of altruism.... </p><p><br /></p><p>My theory was that sellers were making up the rolls with the coins on the end and prolly putting some other non valuable antiques in the rolls for feedback, while very occasionally putting in something pretty nice so they'd get some really good feedback "I found rare silver dime worth $40!!!A+++++". Or perhaps getting feedback from shills saying something similar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
