<p>[QUOTE=&quot;snewman, post: 1219034, member: 31036&quot;]I&#039;ve read someone on here (sorry, I don&#039;t remember who) say that they refuse to buy a &quot;pig in a poke.&quot; I&#039;ve had some amazing luck with buying full sets of coins, but with &quot;unsearched&quot; rolls, I&#039;ve now subscribed to that mantra too.&nbsp; Recently bought an old roll of silver quarters from a &quot;Denver bank&quot; with a 1932 (VF+) on one side and a D on the other.&nbsp; Didn&#039;t pay much over spot for it which should have let me know that nobody else believes in unsearched rolls either.&nbsp; The coins weren&#039;t bad.&nbsp; Had about 40% mint-marks and all were older than 1947.&nbsp; Of course, the 1932 was from Philly and there was nothing of any real numismatic value in there.&nbsp; Also bought a roll of Buffalo nickels in an old roll from the Bank of San Francisco.&nbsp; Had a VF+ 1921 on one side and a S mintmark on the other.&nbsp; Assumed (incorrectly) that the Bank of San Francisco would have had more S-mintage coins.&nbsp; I had one... on the end.&nbsp; 1936-S.&nbsp; Think there were 5 mint marks out of the roll.&nbsp; Earlier in the week, I bought an &quot;OBW 1954-D Jefferson roll&quot; that had BU coins in it, but nothing was even close to full steps.&nbsp; Perhaps I should pass the rolls to my kids so that they can claim that they haven&#039;t searched them too..&nbsp; (not)&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, sorry I wasted your time on my rant.. my whining is done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
