<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2556435, member: 36230"]There absolutely <i>are</i> original rolls that haven't been searched (OBW). Perhaps not as common as they once were due to attrition, but they exist nonetheless. The real question is if what you're seeing on eBay is the real deal, and the answer to that is overwhelmingly no. As with many things in this hobby, what you're seeing is a sucker bet. Everyone wants something for nothing (or at least as little as possible - think lottery) and "unsearched rolls" offer that, ahem, "opportunity" in spades. Your best bet and smartest long-term move would be to search out high end (for the individual grade) examples of whatever coins you would hope to find in such a roll, paying up if necessary for something genuinely nice. It may hurt the wallet now, but in the long run you're more likely to break even than if you were to chase dreams.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
