[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1464557, member: 26729"]Sounds to me like the "unsearched" wheat roll scam made over... Instead of filling a roll of pennies with 1950s cents, and capping the ends of the roll with an indian on one side, and a Merc dime on the other (rolleyes), and hoping to sell $5 bux of junk for $300... They are filling an old bag with culls and playing dumb with a bogus story in hopes some fool pays a fortune for it. The scammers have to constantly up their game. When the word "unsearched" lost it's luster, they started putting token 1910s or 1920s cents on the ends to make you think the coins were older.
