rpmes Valued Member United States 388 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 2:49 pm I'm not trying to hijack this post, but, I think I have a truly unsearched roll bought off of ebay. There is an 1893 Columbian Comm. on one end and the reverse of a WL on the other. I know, I know, but this is the kicker. My roll weighs 241.2 grams. So I think some are real. IMHO anyway.

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 9:15 pm The roll looks too modern (I don't actually know how 50s rolls looked, but I doubt they'd have our contemporary rectangles of colour and be so perfect). But if you got it for a low enough price, who cares? Report this Post to the Staff

SOMEHOW, a transit token dated from 1956 was placed in a penny roll... then a Half Dime (last produced 1873)... and to top it off, at the other end of this roll from at least 1956 is an astonishingly well-preserved cent from 1909 (which has been in circulation for at least 50 years)!! Isn't it just amazing how careless some people are when rolling coins? Report this Post to the Staff

rpmes Valued Member United States 388 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 11:55 pm Well if the seller of my roll is actually rolling his own, he happens to be the person listed in the beginning of this thread, I wonder if he loaded this one specifically for the feedback? Normal rolls I think are only 226 grams, so if this has more silver in it, then it could be 75% silver coins with a mix of 40% and 90%. Just my guess, but I'm saving it for a rainy day.

welder Pillar of the Community United States 1037 Posts	Posted 08/20/2013 12:23 am I think these are a scam and I'd rather play the Lottery. I bought 2 rolls from the seller in the OP. 1 roll with a walking liberty and the other had a Franklin half dollar. The 38 other coins were very circulated Kennedy's ranging from 1972 to 2001. I think this guy is re-rolling the rolls baiting one end with a well worn silver half dollar and something like 1976 Bi-centennial Kennedy on the other end. Then filling the middle with junk.

YoshiRules Pillar of the Community United States 602 Posts	Posted 08/20/2013 8:55 pm I've read on an article online somewhere that coins in rolls and jars in estate sales are fine because, after all, there is a reason that the person collected them in the first place and, chances are, are truly unsearched.
