<p>[QUOTE="elijahhenry10, post: 1259102, member: 28374"]The more I sit and think and read, the more ways that I can find to get scammed in the coin world. 1.(and this one is for roll searches mainly) Getting ripped off from the bank. I recently got some rolls of cents, and one was 11 cents short? How does a bank teller manage to not realize that a roll of coins is 11 short? I think they just realized they had been ripped off and did not want to take the loss from it. Also, the idea of of stuffing a roll of dimes with cents. I just tried it to see if my dad would fall for it. I took a dime wrapper, and filled it with cents minus 2 per end. I handed it to my dad and he was willing to give me $5 for it until I told him what I did. If a bank doesnt realize and sells it to you, they probably wouldnt believe you to refund your money. 2.(this is one of the any for ebay buyers) You always see rolls of 'unsearched' shotgun rolls of wheats. They always say they went to the bank to get them wrapped, and just somehow managed to have a Denver minted Mercury dime on one end. Just to see if I could, I unwrapped a shotgun roll of cents, put a dime on the end, filled it with wheats, and closed the end. It looks like it did right after it came out of the box. It is kinda obvious that it wont be a 1916 D Mercury dime on the end. What is to stop anyone from starting to rip people off? If anyone else has any other things they would love to vent about (sorry for letting my time to talk last a tad bit long), feel free to comment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
