I buy most of my rolls from this guy-

Like I said he charges a premium, my last roll I got a 1936 BU, the mix is usually 10%-50's, 10%-40's and the rest are teens-30's with most in the 30's. I usually do the buy it now or best offer ($55-60 is what he will go for) on the 6 rolls. I have tried to get him to sell me bulk at a discount but will not go for it. I also have bought the BU tail/tail rolls and have been happy with them. I just hate paying that much for a roll of wheats.

I have decided to get one more 5000 lot, now I have to do my research and pick the one that "feels" less searched. I do admit the stories for some of these lots are funny, the college kid needing money one seems popular now. I always check the feedback and sometimes wonder if some of them are planted, like one today said he found a 1955 DDO, 1931-S.

Like USArmy said the time with the children is priceless, my 18 month year old even like sitting on my lap while I search for varieties. With the wheats I can let the children touch them and not worry about finger prints and marks like I do with my American Eagles. They like stacking them and putting them in the rolls, my 3 year old even turns them over so the obverse is up.

I've had tremendous luck finding interesting stuff at my local dealers shop each week. Don't think because they have a box full of pennies that have been searched that something may have been missed. Just yesterday in their indian head box I found an 1886 Var 2 in at least good condition. So even if they have a bunch that has been searched that doesn't mean you might not find something well worth your time and effort.

Stop and THINK. If someone says this is bag, box, jar or whatever of UNSEARCHED anything, how would they know what is there unless they searched them all. THINK. If I said I have a pocket full of never looked at Nickels in my pocket, how would I know they are nickels unless I looked first. So how would anyone know the coins are all Wheat Cents unless they checked each one out first??

cub-fan01 disappointed me on my last 20 rolls. Not a single error so far after 8/20 rolls. :(

My only decent coin so far was a 1915-D.

My personal favorites are the sellers in the coin magazines who advertise unsearched wheaties and then in the next line offer batches of all S mint wheaties.

Yeah, nobody sorted through those.

I was watching what I thought would be a good auction to bid on, then I just checked it and wow- up to 20 bucks a roll. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...50&rd=1&rd=1
