Let me add that the guys that mentioned feedback are 100% spot on. There are TONS of shady sellers on ebay selling "unsearched" rolls. Wait it out...check feedback on the rolls and make sure that the positives are not from "new eBayers", aka, the sellers friends opening accounts to boost feedback. Sure, it's against ebay policy, but it DOES happen...pretty often.

I had a listing on ebay recently of 117 different wheats, complete from 34 pds to 58 pd, and couldn't get a 50 dollar bite. There was a 1909 VDB that was a real dark AU in the bunch, and lots of first and second decade mint marks. I am not a fan of wheat pennies. You can't hardly give them away.

There were no spotted and corroded junkers in the lot either. I bought a huge collection and there were 3 partial sets of wheats. I sorted out all of the junk and kept the one set back. The rest went into the coinstar machine at the local Walmart. There were 16 rolls of wheat cents put into circulation here in SW Pa around Christmas time. By the time you charge for postage...they're not worth much at all.

Im starting roll searching too - I've done a few, but no real finds. I guess I'm going through 'searched' rolls =)

Another item to check is the sellers buys. Amazing but a seller will give you a song and dance about shoveling snow or something for an elderly person who dies and leaves them some rolls. Of course they are unsearched and in rolls for decades. They always have something interesting on the ends, a vdb or indian head. Read their buys and they are buying bags of wheaties and junk indians. Lots of scammers on ebay!
