<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 212295, member: 4626&quot;]I think they are basing that statement based on what previous buyers have found buying their lots of wheat cents.&nbsp; If they&#039;re applying that to this collection, at best it&#039;s an estimation based on past results.&nbsp; (They may have also intentionally salted the collection with 5 1909S VDB&#039;s randomly... they&#039;d still come out on top if you average the cost of 5 of them amongst 1000 lots selling for $300 each.&nbsp; It would only cost them an average of about $7.50 average for each lot, that they&#039;re selling for $300... so it could very well be an honest claim and they&#039;d still make a profit.&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing they probably added this coins on top of the lot of unsearched wheat cents.)</p><p><br /></p><p>This may or may not be worth what they&#039;re selling the lots for, depending on what you get.&nbsp; Personally I wouldn&#039;t pay that much unless I know for sure what I&#039;m getting is worth at least what I&#039;m paying... but if you like to gamble, go for it...</p><p><br /></p><p>Wouldn&#039;t call it a &quot;scam&quot; per se... if you like sorting through big lots of coins, this isn&#039;t too bad a deal, but whether it&#039;s worth it or not is a matter of luck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Upon reading the auction closely, they are apparently doing exactly what I thought, each bag gets a key or semi-key wheat cent randomly added it to it, amongst the 1000 bags, 5 of them get a 1909S VDB added to it.&nbsp; That&#039;s how they know, the unsearxhed claim applies to the rest of the wheat cents the bags already have before they add the extras.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
