<p>[QUOTE=&quot;superc, post: 1835421, member: 44079&quot;]Agreed, sort of.&nbsp; However since we are talking about coins from rolls, bags and bins of any source, that enters into it.&nbsp; Generally speaking the pre culled rolls where the vender lied about whether or not the roll was searched (famous escape clause: &quot;I have not searched this roll.&quot;&nbsp; LoL.&nbsp; No, his employee did.), those rolls stand out when you search them.&nbsp; Nothing bright and shiny except the 57D pennies, some late 40s coins in AG and maybe a single Fair from the 30s with nothing from the 20s or the teens. </p><p><br /></p><p>No I speak of receivership sales and a few good sources including actual inheritances where I was the first picker.&nbsp; Seen coin distribution isn&#039;t matching the predicted numerical stats.&nbsp; Sometimes I see way more 20s and 30s in those.&nbsp; Only last night I did two rolls which had nothing at all later than 1947. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have to add, I don&#039;t do bags or rolls that contain coins made after 1959.&nbsp; Therefore the sources are limited when seeking stuff that hasn&#039;t been cherry picked.&nbsp; I buy a fair amount from genuine estate sales/auctions, but also a lot off Ebay.&nbsp; Ebay wise I have only found one seller who thusfar consistently offers good bags of Wheat pennies (if you don&#039;t object too much to the occasional 1930s vintage Canadian penny).</p><p><br /></p><p>Possible long term investment strategy for not yet born great-great-grandchildren.&nbsp; Buy some new rolls at the bank.&nbsp; Bury them deep in one of those designed for burial artillery shell cannisters somewhere on the family land.&nbsp; Give a sealed letter to a law firm advising of the burial location with instructions to deliver the letter to your descendants or the land owners in 150 years.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; If the descendants have been good worker bees, they will still have the land.&nbsp; If not, they deserve nothing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
