Look at all these coins!

Ahhhh...the famous unsearched lot(s):

- Found in the basement (like this one)
- Found in a floor board
- Found in the attic
- Found in a retired grocer's back room
- Found in the back of a bank vault
- Found in (fill in your own blank)

Then there are:

- I don't know much about coins, but I been asked to help sell these.
- Estate sale, I was looking for art when I came across this
- My __ used to collect coins and his mother asked that I sell them.
- 1909-S VDB, 14-D and, 31-S, and 1955 DDO all found!
- Never searched, key dates found.

Well my opinions are that maybe the seller did not search the lot him/herself, but more than likely it was searched and cherry picked many times before. I remember in the early 70's as a young lab, I was searching my grandmother's and her freinds mason jars for wheaties to fill my slots. I also remember keeping every "S" mint and those that were decent. My big find was a EF 1931-S and i was on top of the world. But believe me...those lots have been searched and searched and if you find something, I would love to hear about it.

Could it happen? Sure...but these ebay unsearched lots are not really a good buy. Go to your local dealer and buy a bag...you probably will have better luck.
