<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1222880, member: 13650"]It's a good find but I wouldn't say it's amazing. There's always been sellers on ebay claiming to have "original bank wrapped rolls", that will stick a nice VDB visible at the end of the roll to scam people. People see the VDB and think there's a "chance" that it could be an S-VDB so they occasionally bid the rolls up to hundreds of dollars. The 'tricky' seller makes a huge profit and the unlucky buyer loses out. Was it at the end of the roll? Sometimes they'll load a roll and let bidders know that they'll get at least one vdb or similar. I saw one guy making thousands doing this over a couple of months.</p><p><br /></p><p> I will say you had good fortune off of someone else's mistake/loss letting it go. I don't think it was sitting in a roll untouched for 90 years. It isn't that amazing to me when there's likely hundreds if not thousands of these purposely loaded, modern day, dealer wrapped rolls floating around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
