Message:: [QUOTE="SJVM, post: 778169, member: 21559"]Should I be looking for such rolls on eBay?? Of course not.  It was more of a board curiosity than a true interest.  Anyways, this was his reply: These are not original, unopened rolls.  You should read the listing.  There is nothing in the listing or write up about these rolls being original, unopened rolls.   They are listed as bu rolls and write up says they are unsearched by me.  I sell rolls.  I don't search any of my coins for errors...don't have the inclination, time, vision or knowledge necessary to classify the thousands of variations in lincoln cents.    These are as listed, head/tail bu rolls.  They come from a number of sources.  I wrap them in NF string preformed wrappers and crimp the tails end with a hand crimper. Now, who the h**l that is in their "right mind" would not bother glancing at each Cent as they load a roll of 1969-S?  No one... period.  Also, why bother using NF String wrappers and a crimp tool if you are not trying to mislead a prospective buyer?  He states in the heading: RARE AND GETTING MORE RARE, SAN FRANCISCO MINT ROLLS  And in the listing he says: HEAD/TAIL ROLL OF RED BU 1969-S LINCOLN CENTS.   THESE ROLLS ARE GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND.   EVERY TIME I LOOK, THE PRICE GOES UP! How is something that he puts together by hand becoming more and more rare (Other than maybe he is not putting as many together as before)?  I am sorry but I find this to be just as bad as these people who are paying $50 and up for an "unsearched roll" that just happens to have a VDB on one end and an Flying Eagle, Indian Head, or what-have-you on the other.
