[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1257456, member: 26302"]On the other hand, at least these are more truthful, not leading people to think there may be other coins than cents in the middle of the roll. I know its hard for us to fathom, but even $12 is not horrible. People who do not collect coins would get $12 worth of fun out of going through a roll of wheat cents. If we can step back, we need to realize what we pay for coins is not really "retail", its more advanced wholesale. These kinds of auctions, TV shows, and certain coin companies that target non-coin collectors are the real "retail". If the seller is truthful, like these rolls it appears to be, and non collectors buy them for $12, I don't think its the worst thing in the world. I posted similar thoughts about a coin company that targets non-collectors. It may seem high to us, but worth it to those people, and who knows, maybe they will join us here one day. Chris[/QUOTE]
