Do Unsearched Coin Lots Really Exist?

The good thing about craigslist is that you can shoot the guy an email asking if he might take $225.

Anything is possible but if they know enough to put them on e-bay they know enough to look for key dates.

As some of you know, there have been a lot of goodies found on a certain seller's unsearched slq lots....I've found (3) 1921s and a low grade 1916 so far; so unsearched lots certainly do exist, though 99% of them are likely to have been searched.

My brother is not a collector and has hoarded wheaties ever since we were kids (over 30 years). Friends and family who know nothing about coins used to save the wheats that they found in circulation for him. He probably has over 100 pounds stashed in various containers around his house. One day, when I have some free time, I want to sit down with him and dig through them.

oh they exist just don't expect one from ebay. A week ago a Guy walked into my shop with 3700 wheats. I paid 3xs face like I always do and didn't think anything about it... 2 09ss. 17 09 vdbs. 2 22ds. The list goes on. The find was so good I actually called the Guy back and paid him more because I felt guilty! After 3 years of hunting I found a real unsearched lot.

I've had pretty good luck with wheats in Canada. People have less knowledge of the series and seem to care a lot less here. They even show up in decent numbers in rolls.

In a 500-count lot I recently bought at 8 cents (Canadian) each, it was loaded: 1909vdb x 3, 1909 x 4, 11S, 13D, 23S, 26S x 2, 31D x 2, 32D x 2, 33, 33D x 2, and even a 36 DDO!

But I've bought 1000 from the same source and had much less luck.

I suspect the trick is to buy from the west, and from non-collectors.

What kills me is the "unsearched" penny roll that just happens to have
a 1916 Dime on the end (who but dimes in a penny roll?). "Maybe a 1916d" Yeah Right! Or a vdb reverse shows on the
end. I bet a lot of those are svdb"s. The list goes on.
Funny thing is people buy them for the dream. What a scam.
