[QUOTE="Metalman, post: 20778, member: 1454"]For sure to add coins to my collection ,,I prefer to know what Im buying, But I have bought a couple of these penny lots, I needed a couple of actually commom mint marks to complete a book, and I guess that the thought that it would be possible to come up with a key from a group of pennies was possible but not probable made me decide to buy a couple of half pound lots, No big deal, 8 bucks for three rolls of wheats I found the two cents that I was looking for, a couple of AU 40's coins and a poormans 55 double ,, 6 -43 steel cents , a couple of other error coins and I resold,the remainder plus others that I had laying around to a local person for 6.50 ,,,I didnt get rich but I didnt get hurt either, why do I tell you this? Because I really think that this is the way a lot of collectors work when it come to these supposedly unsearched lots. I have never put a coin back into circulation that I didnt look at,and Ive never sold a roll of coins that didnt pick from,first !!!! I think thats is why the rolls you see that are detailed in the description go for less, and the lots go for more,, the single and double roll auctions are for sure searched and probly minutely by the use of a loupe or other magnifying device. Nothing saying the lots have not been searched in the same way,but it is less likely that the volume seller has searched them.[/QUOTE]
