<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1722640, member: 37498&quot;]&quot;Unsearched&quot; as it pertains to coins means as much as &quot;Natural&quot; does to processed foods.</p><p><br /></p><p>I usually take the word &quot;unsearched&quot; to mean the current owner is claiming they have not searched the coins for key dates or varieties.&nbsp; But since that&#039;s largely impossible to verify, I don&#039;t put much faith in it.&nbsp; Even a lot of the auctions selling older mint sets in a &quot;sealed envelope&quot; are meaningless since most of those envelopes weren&#039;t actually &quot;sealed&quot; by the mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>With all this in mind, I can see things from their perspective.&nbsp; While the coins came from a bag from who knows where, the coins themselves might not be searched by the seller.&nbsp; They might just blindly take the bags from wherever they purchased them to the bank and have them rolled.&nbsp; Voilà - Instant &quot;Bank Wrapped Shotgun Roll of 40 Mixed Date Unsearched Buffalo Nickels Lot Coins&quot;.&nbsp; Heck, I have a lot of coins that I have not searched for varities or key dates.&nbsp; I bought most of them for melt value, so I can only assume the person before me did.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t advertise them as &quot;unsearched&quot;, but if someone asked me, I&#039;d tell them I&#039;ve treated them as bullion coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
