I have made good deals through ebay for these types of coins.  One roll had an S-mint IHC at one end; several others had S-mint Lincolns from the teens showing.  I have gotten every S-mint Lincoln from 1909-S through 1931-S (except 1926-S) from these rolls, in addition to ICHs from 1887 (and a few earlier) through 1909 (no S).  There's no guarantee that you'll do as good, but looking through the rolls is a fun way to waste time. As far as the auction you are looking at, If you got the roll with the Flying Eagle (not the damaged one) it would be well worth the $10 bid (plus shipping).  The IHCs are most likely 1887 and later and would have to be at least AU to be worth the price.[/QUOTE]
