[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 24471588, member: 20480"]Personally, I think when a seller wraps their marketing approach around rolls being original unsearched, it's only a matter of time before they run out of them, and begin stretching the truth to keep going. Therefore, it's important to approach such "opportunities" with skepticism. On the flipside, I have some OBW in my long forgotten collection (not represented by advertised inventory), but they are not for sale. I know others who also have OBW. Are they better date coins? Were they well-stored against environmental damage? Who knows, but I can assert that OBW do exist. I think it's better to consider the source when looking for OBW . . . find them from a dealer who hasn't had them in a number of years, and bought one or a few in an old time collection. I kind of hate to say this, but, if you continue buying them from a seller who seems to find a new batch every few weeks, well . . . I think you are a slow learner.[/QUOTE]
