[QUOTE="kanga, post: 446578, member: 9270"]Sorry, didn't realize you were not American and would not understand some of our slang. And there is no such thing as a stupid question. It is only stupid if you [U]do not[/U] ask the question. Asking questions is how you learn. The term "Red Flag" means something that does not seem right. 1. "[I]NO SOLID TYPE ROLLS TO MY KNOWLEDGE. ALL THE ROLLS SHOULD CONTAIN LOTS OF WHEATIES AND SOME INDIANS. A BUNCH OF ROLLS ALSO SHOW FLYING EAGLES & COPPER CENTS.[/I]" Nowhere in the description does it say that you will ONLY get wheat cents, indian head and flying eagles. A lot of what you do not see could be memorial cents. 2. "[I]I GOT THESE COINS FROM ESTATE SALES, DEALER LIQUIDATIONS & INDIVIDUAL SALES...[/I]" Standard statement that is generally considered nonsense. 3. "[I]I will only give refunds on these rolls if they are unopened.[/I]" How are you going to know if what has been said is the truth? You HAVE to open the roll. This is just a way of covering himself if and when things are not nearly what he is advertising. 4. "[I]I'm using a stock photo for this auction.[/I]" Another likely coverup. The whole listing says "bad deal" to me.[/QUOTE]
