The User ID is now gone, so ebay must have given him the boot. Glad to see they are actually doing something about these types of bad sellers. |

He's still selling on eBay What a nice guy--all those "original bank rolls"--and never picking out the key coins for himself.  |

Yeah, I see it now. The link in the previous post didn't work then.

Correct me if I am wrong...but weren't the first 1-20 years of cents rolled in $0.25 rolls and not $0.50? I have seen occasional half-roll wrappers, but even as a kid, cent rolls were 50 coins. Quote:
Second....seems a little too perfect even 'sitting in a vault for 20+ years' to me. "Too good to be true" usually is. |

Even a mega-dealer, confronted with a bunch of cent rolls apparently from California with au/bu vdb cents on the ends is at least gonna spot check a few rolls. Who would risk giving up a potential $100,000 roll for chump change, just for fun?

What the seller claims is that it is an "AN ORIGINAL BANK WRAPPED ROLL FROM THE "FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF SAN FRANCISCO". The FRB SF didn't exist when those nice shiny coins came out. By the time it opened, there would have been a half billion LWC made, allowing a 1:20 chance of a VDB, or a 1:1000 of an SVDB, yet here are bunches of rolls with VDBs on both ends!? A roll with a nice vdb on one end and a nice 14p on the other would at least be believable. |

His rolls were made in the 1950's, based on his feedback (i.e. all rolls seem to have 1950's LWC's in them). That's why I used 1950's numbers when I did the math earlier in this thread I reported him again, and ebay yanked him again. We'll see if he relists. However, I've only been reporting the two VDB rolls. He has all sorts of other "original" rolls with interesting coins on the end. |

Anyone who is foolish enough to buy a roll from someone like this guy thinking something valuable is in there deserves to be swindled. However It's just too bad there are people out there preying on other's greed and stupidity.
There are a lot of ebayers like that selling "unsearched" or "untouched" rolls and wondering aloud if there's something valuable in there. I can't believe some fall for that.
