[QUOTE="coinman1234, post: 2069269, member: 51208"]Hello guys, I decided to do some searching on Ebay to find the best/funniest "unsearched" rolls on Ebay. I know most of these rolls are pretty crazy, with barbers on one end and a merc on the other, but I tried to find the most extreme examples. Here is one general thought about these auctions. If the seller never searched them how does he know they are all wheat pennies?? Also, How come many auctions do not even have a single wheat penny on the end, just silver dimes and rare indians, and they are still advertised as "Un-searched Wheat Pennies"?? "Mysterious potential key-dates coins", such as a wheat penny with a "VDB" reverse showing, and the seller saying it is a "1909s VDB???" when is a just regular 1909p VDB worth $7.
