<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WaA140, post: 51035, member: 2663&quot;]Of course, some people took every coin they received out of circulation by throwing them into big water bottles or milk cans or what have you.&nbsp; Those could be &quot;unsearched&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; The problem is you don&#039;t know.&nbsp; The only person who does know is the one who just passed on and the family doesn&#039;t know what to do with the big jugs of coins.&nbsp; Do those jugs contain rare varieties?&nbsp; Maybe...&nbsp; The sellers on eBay want you to spend $25 for half a pound of pennies on the off chance that the seller their hoard is &quot;unsearched&quot; and trust that they didn&#039;t search the coins themselves prior to sending them to you.&nbsp; So far, I am not willing to pay even $15 for coins whose combined face value is about 70 cents.&nbsp; I guess my point is, it might still be possible to find a hoard that is unsearched but what are the chances that an unsearched hoard has rare coins in it?&nbsp; &nbsp; Rare means rare!&nbsp; That means that even in an unsearched hoard the odds are against you.&nbsp; Finding one still in circulation is even more rare.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
