[QUOTE="PittsburghMom, post: 1389809, member: 34903"]I think the unsearched rolls are complete scams, but I did cave the other day and purchased an unopened Brinks box of pennies.

There were probably a dozen wheat pennies, one penny in very good condition that just said "199" and another with multiple die breaks. I was skeptical b/c at least 1 full roll was Canadian, there were at least 50 1964 D's, etc. It was such a mix that I just couldn't be sure whether it was a new scam or not, but like I said, I was still happy with the good ones that I did receive so take that for what it's worth.
