It&#039;s a &quot;seeded roll&quot;. No one in their right mine would roll a $2.50 gold indian with a wheat cent back in the day. It was just something you did not do.</p><p><br /></p><p>99.9% of &quot;unsearched&quot; rolls on eBay are &quot;hand made&quot; by sellers. It&#039;s a very deceptive practice that eBay, despite numerous complains, and sellers with large amounts of negative feedback, have decided to still allow. If I had any kind of power, as in being an eBay employee, I would make the sale of &quot;unsearched&quot; rolls not allowed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, ask yourself, if you ran across a roll of coins your grandfather had, wouldn&#039;t you bust the roll open and search through it? Of course you would! Especially because really old rolls may yield some semi-key or key date coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The theory is about as stupid as finding a jar of coins from the 1800s behind the wall of your house, and listing them as &quot;unsearched&quot; on eBay, instead of seeing what may be inside. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unless you lack a brain, of course you would not do such a thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>NOW, there are some exceptions to the rule. Sometimes people will list original bank rolls of Silver halves, quarters, etc on eBay. People will buy these in order to find higher grade silver coins. People who have no idea on how to grade coins will sell these, and they ARE legitimate. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes, in a blue moon, you will find original bank rolls of Morgans, although they are really hard to find. </p><p><br /></p><p>I laugh when I see eBay sellers selling &quot;unsearched rolls&quot; with a penny on one side, and a dime on the other. Back then coins were wrapped by hand, and you didn&#039;t wrap different denominations together.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
