<p>[QUOTE="caheyl87, post: 2578925, member: 83567"]Who knows who put whatever in these rolls. I could go home and roll up all my 1909 vdb's and put some 40/50's wheats on the end and sell it for 5 bucks. Or, I could take reverse that and put all 40/50's inside with the vdb's on the ends and sell it for 50 bucks. Someone could put 36 gold coins in one trying to have an entire roll of gold coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Who really knows what was going through anyone's mind many years ago when wrapping all these coins up? I'm a goofy guy. I'm going to mess with my grand kids when I leave them my collection. Leave em funny notes in the rolls, wrap pennies on the end and put dimes in the middle, etc. They'll be like "did grandpa wrap these yesterday, because only someone with severe dementia would do this?!"</p><p><br /></p><p>It's best to use common sense and good judgment when purchasing "unsearched" rolls. That, and the feedback!!! Let other people be the guinea pigs when buying this stuff but definitely read their feedback. And while there may be some people out there who think a roll full of wheat pennies with 1 indian head penny is like striking gold, there are definitely trolls out there who like to write bad reviews for no particular reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, I hope this helps someone... anyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Cory[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
