<p>[QUOTE=&quot;steve63, post: 2556413, member: 76463&quot;]I really don&#039;t think it&#039;s 100%.&nbsp;&nbsp; I say that because just last week a co-worker of mine told me that she had sold a bunch of penny rolls on Craigslist.&nbsp; Her 90 year old grandfather recently died, and the family found a drawer full of thousands of pennies he had kept.&nbsp; He was not a collector, so they were not rolled or sorted, he just liked to save his pennies.&nbsp; This co-worker knew nothing about coin collecting or the value of any key date pennies (she never heard of the 1909-S DVB).&nbsp; All she knew was that most of the pennies were wheatbacks and &quot;somebody&quot; told her that she could probably get more than face value for them if she put them up for sale on Craigslist.&nbsp; She told me she did not search for any specific dates because she just didn&#039;t know enough about coins to do that, and she didn&#039;t have time to research it. As long as she could get above face value for them she was happy to sell them and she did (I wish I had known about this beforehand but I did not).&nbsp; Anyway, I really think this may have been a scenario of unsearched rolls being sold because nobody who possessed them knew very much about coins other than that wheats could be sold for a small profit.&nbsp; That conversation is what got me thinking that there are some unsearched rolls out there for sale, the problem is there is now way to distinguish them from the numerous false claims of &quot;unsearched&quot; rolls you see all over Ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
