<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dot, post: 158147, member: 6394&quot;]While I know that this is a very common scenario on ebay, I just want to offer another perspective.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m in the process of going through a HUGE pile of accumulated Lincoln cents.&nbsp; Usually, my first step is to separate by year, then by mint mark.&nbsp; Then I roll the coins for closer inspection later, by date/mint.&nbsp; Right now I have ALOT of rolls of cents by date, that clearly had to be searched to know the date, but beyond that, they are not examined (as for errors, which is what I intend to do).</p><p><br /></p><p>Likewise, I will put all my wheat cents into a separate jar when I run across them, so I could roll those and honestly call them unsearched wheaties.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can imagine that *some* other people might do the same, or similar.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The thing to remember is that &quot;one man&#039;s trash is another man&#039;s treasure&quot; -- even if coins have been &quot;searched&quot; you never know what they were looking for, and perhaps you are looking for something different?</p><p><br /></p><p>Not defending ebay scammers, because I&#039;m sure they&#039;re out there in droves.&nbsp; Just sayin&#039; there&#039;s another way to look at it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
