To me anything else, outside the exceptions below, is fraudulent and I would expect a judge to agree. I have indeed both purchased and acquired through inheritance old bank wrapped rolls which I believe fit the description of old unsearched bank rolls. </p><p><br /></p><p><No, you are too late, I have already opened them and searched them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> > </p><p><br /></p><p>I base that expectation on knowing the history of most of the ones I inherited (actually watched Dad in 63 buy the rolls at the Dollar Savings Bank, then put those rolls in a box when he got home, got the box with the rolls still in them in 93, finally yielded to temptation and searched them in 09) and a sense of certain dealers having sold me exactly what it was supposed to be.

They may have searched them, but I haven't. 100s of pounds of them so the searching has been slow. I have also got about 400 - 500 rolls someone else searched, then put in paper rolls. When I sell those on Ebay, which I sometimes have, I am very careful to state someone else wrapped the rolls, but they should consider them as having been picked through and the coins inside are probably average. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that the seller whose ad I quoted is technically honest in that he mentions he is who had the bank roll the coins, but only in the details, which many bidders never bother to check.
