This seller is selling salted Half dollar rolls, they all hammer at between 58-70 dollars. This happens because he shills them to that price. If you look at the bidders, some of them have 100% bidding activity. http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=281581757646&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2565 this one, has a lot of the same bidders. He just hopes someone comes in and bids a dollar more last minute. http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI....eName=PageBidderProfileViewBids_None_ViewLink
"Salted"? The crimping looks very original to me and in all honesty, some $500 boxes are just LOADED with Silver. IMO, the seller could very well be giving out great deals IF he's not checking the rolls. I can check a roll of half dollar for silver coinage without ever opening it.
Looking at the sellers feedback, he's sold about 70 silver ender rolls within the past month. Given the amount, or lack of, 90% silver left in circulation and the odds that those coins end up at the end of a roll in randomly rolled half dollars, this seller is either extremely lucky to the 'nth degree or he's salting rolls. I know which option I'd go with. BTW a lot of the end coins are Frankies and Walkers which up the odds even more.
I agree wholeheartedly, salted rolls with a rolling machine from ebay. As Markus said "Pity the Fool".
I looked at his feedbacks, mostly good but I wonder how many of the unknowing left feedbacks before they opened their rolls. And because of the privacy issue, it's impossible to contact any of these buyers to see how they really felt about their purchase. I agree, salted rolls with a ebay rolling machine. Caveat Emptor.
