That was one of my red flags in her auction....the photo. If I had 1000's of wheats sitting around for auction......would definitely take a real picture of some....one that would enlarge....and not some stock photo from somewhere. The photo in her first auctions was different, but just as odd. How do I even get a photo NOT to enlarge? There probably is a way, but it shows me that she knows more than she leads one to believe. Also, placing the add in the "collectibles" category is slick!

I think the one listed earlier should be okay. I am interested to see what you will find. My guess for both rolls is 5-10 Indians, 2 dimes, and a good mix of teens-30s. That's just my guess. We would all look through the rolls, but most people don't have any idea why we like coins. If the story is true, then the seller probably learned a little about the item to sell it. That's what I do when I buy a big lot of collectible things.

I got one roll in today. At least it was super fast shipping lol. Well I ended up with 6 AU 1958P/D, 2 1957D in AU, 1955 in AU, 1955 S in AU, 6 IHP common dates some better condition than others. 2 1942 Merc Dimes, 3 1943 Steel, 1911, 1916, 1918, 1919, the rest 20's 30' 40's and 2 other 50's. The other roll should be in on Thurs. It was really hard to tell whether his story is true or not. But now I think it was BS because I found one 1958 D that looks like it's been in circulation for 50 years. Now how could that be if they were supposedly rolled in 58? Waiting on second roll. Maybe I'll hit that ever elusive 09 S VDB.... yeah, I'm laughing too!

Update* I paid $18 per roll with free shipping. Kinda expensive I know, but I was taken in by the story and the feedback they were receiving. We'll see on the next roll.
Sorry, not trying to hijack this thread.

How much did you give for the roll? It could be true, because you see 2013 pennies now that look like they have been in ciruculation forever too. It sounds like one of the better rolls though.

rpmes I bid on that roll that said it was all S minted. Showing the 1909s on the end. I went up to $80 and wasn't even close.

I checked back on the feedback she got, and let's just say I'm glad I was able to get out of the deal with a lesson learned and not much worse.
