<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bditto39, post: 4746060, member: 107194&quot;]It&#039;s actually very easy to seal an old roll to make it look genuine.&nbsp; Shoot, you can even buy old rolls to roll up yourself.&nbsp; Happens all the time on ebay.&nbsp; I would be HIGHLY suspect of anyone trying to sell &quot;unopened rolls&quot; of wheat cents.&nbsp; He may have gotten them in good faith, but who sold them to him?&nbsp; It&#039;s way too risky for that much money.&nbsp; The whole idea that the rolls are worth more unopened like that is also crazy.&nbsp; I bought into it a few times when I first started collecting, and it&#039;s just not true.&nbsp; The idea that the end coin of an &quot;unsearched&quot; roll tells you anything about the contents is just incorrect.&nbsp; You could open it up to find 48 common wheats in the middle far easier than ever finding a decent coin in the roll.&nbsp; I would run from these like a poisonous snake.&nbsp; With that same $250 you could buy a few nice graded wheats or whatever you are into at auction and have it at the <u>value of the actual coin</u> instead of a subjective value of unknown coins.&nbsp; The reason the convenience store owner doesn&#039;t scratch his own tickets is the same reason your dealer doesn&#039;t pop the rolls...they both know it&#039;s rigged and value their money more.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I almost forgot, you are only seeing one side of those coins!&nbsp; You can&#039;t grade a coin based on one side and no view of the edge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
