<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 2989968, member: 88212"]ebay rolls are frequently modern made rolls in antique wrappers. I've bought a few of the cheaper ones and convinced myself that a beat to death indian on one end and a worn teens on the other would not normally have nothing but fifties wheats in between. Key date rolls are even worse with a 1909-s on one end and a 1909-vdb on the other. They are selling the sizzle with little or no steak to back it up. In the old days dealers would offer wheat bags with guaranteed semi-key and key bonus coins. Then if you needed a 1909-s or a 1914-d you knew you would get it. Frequently what you got would be in extremely low grade or damaged badly. When the price was 3 to 4 cents each you didn't feel so cheated as these days when you have to bid north of $100 for $40 in coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
