<p>[QUOTE="dayriser, post: 908716, member: 21610"]I hate to say it man, but I don't think the ad was misleading in the least... I think the practice of calling a roll of pennies unsearched is a little shady but is fairly standard in the ebay world currently... If you had looked at what the same seller was selling in other auctions, you would have seen the pattern of listing the unsearched roll along with what is SHOWING on each end... If it had said unsearched roll 26-d/31-p you would assume he was talking two cents on the ends with these dates and mint marks... Since one was a dime, he left the 26-d as UNDERSTOOD, and specifically pointed out that the other was an s-mint Merc... Also, if he had said 26-d and 26-s merc dimes, it wouldn't make sense as he couldn't have known date and mint mark without opening the roll... I understand that you thought the dimes would have been EXTRA and loose but that is not a very typical way to see coins sold on ebay... a roll of wheat with 2 loose mercs to go with it... Again, the pattern of his other roll sales should have been the giveaway... I get so tired of guys stacking rolls with decent coins though and then swearing that they are UNSEARCHED... </p><p> </p><p>For that matter, how in the heck can they even say they are WHEAT pennies, if they are capped on the ends with merc's and ih's and fe's... These guys have no scruples to be sure, but I don't think he intended to insinuate that you were getting 52 coins, or 2 mercs... I say you suck it up, leave him decent feedback, and move on... </p><p> </p><p>Regards,</p><p>B[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
