<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 48526, member: 112&quot;]When buying coins you need to keep something in mind - the seller is trying to SELL them. They will use all sorts of terms and adjectives in order to attract your attention. I would say that 99.999% of the time if a seller uses any of the following words - they should be ignored. Focus only on the coin !</p><p><br /></p><p>Unsearched - in my opinion there is 1 time and only 1 time that a bag of coins can be considered unsearched, that is if it still has the mint&#039;s seal on the bag. The same can be said of rolls unless you purchase them directly from the mint and most of the time when you get them from banks. </p><p><br /></p><p>Searching through bags &amp; rolls can be a very enjoyable part of the hobby. So if you enjoy doing this - by all means do so. It is a great way to fill the empty spots in your collection and have fun at the same time. But do not expect to make any great finds. THAT is rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rare - ignore this word ALWAYS !</p><p><br /></p><p>Key - if you know a coin with a particular date or mint mark is a key - fine. Otherwise ignore it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
