Message:: [QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 8264803, member: 101855"]Here's the logic if this deal really was random. The seller buys a roll of 1909-S cents in low grade. He buys another roll of 1909-VDB cents in low grade. Then he buys 48 rolls of wheat cents. He mixes them all together and grabs out random coins to make 50 rolls that he sells for $150 each. The trouble is you won't have the 1909-S on one end and the "VDB" on the other. Do you think he would get very many of these rolls to stick if he showed them on eBay with the marque coins showing and then delivered rolls without them showing? More likely, he salts the ends of the rolls with the marque coins and has random wheat cents in the middle. He has $60 coin on one end and $4 coin on the other with 48 Wheat Cents in the middle. The whole thing is worth $70 if it has a tail wind. Not a bad return on $150 after you take out the eBay cut, of course. Like Mr. Fields said, "Not a chance." And I though that lottery type sales were not allowed on eBay. There is no such thing as a random, "never searched," roll of Lincoln Cents from this era. [/QUOTE]
