Can It Even Be Possible For These?

Unless some old man walks down from a mountain with 100 year old tin can full of wheat cents that he inherited from his father, I assume that the "unsearched" means "unsearched by YOU".

Granted that many are unsearched for minor varieties, as stated in auctions, but if you are using ebay, smartphones, computers, etc, then you will probably not going to find any key dates from these rolls. After all, most sellers in ebay are trying to make some profit.

Gamblers and the greedy are always the easiest marks.

Just ask what that means. For an example I have a large glass ketchup bottle I put all my wheats in when I was a teenager many many years ago (45) and I did not know to look at the dates so I guess they are kind of un-searched. I really need to go back through them some day.

As one of our fellow forum members once put it: 'unsearched means unsearched by you!' and I think that pretty much sums it up.

$5 a roll (or tube) is madness. The coins are worth 1 cent each in everyday life or 2 cents in metal value. There are still heaps of wheat cents around. Even I have hundreds of them and I don't even live in the US. And indeed, I even got a few in change when visiting the US.

Odd looking might also mean: run over by an army of tractors and buried in the soil for 50 years, before being dug up again and harshly cleaned with vinegar. Trust me, a coin looks odd then.

One tip: never go for a story, go for a coin. In the end what you buy is a coin, not a story.

I bought $60.00 worth of wheat's rolled and sorted by date and mint mark. My local dealer had them in an ammo can and wanted to be rid of them. He bought all of them at an estate sell years ago, went through them for the 20's and 30's and there they sat. I gave $100.00 for them. He laughed and said he wished he had time to search a second time then handed them over.
Here's what I found worth mentioning.
1. 1955 D DDO F'S-101 AU-55.
2.1944 S 1DO-001 AU-55.
3. 1944 1DR-005 AU-58 (nice thick doubling on reverse).
4. 1943 D 1DO-007.
5.1956 D RPM-002 north.
6.1953 D WRPM x2 xeach

Dang accidentally hit reply.
6. 1953 S WRPM-001 east.
7. 1953 S WRPM--006 north (crazy cool).

The 1953 D WRPM-002 rivals the 1960-D F'S-502 in clarity in my opinion.
Whom ever sold these to my local dealer clearly coin collected as every last one was AU BN. or AU RB. My theory is the person whom hoarded these did not have the wealth of information available at that time we have today. I lucked out with this batch, but not all was luck, I have spent money in Nicks shop and he appreciates it by offering me fair deals and leads on whose got the bags of wheat's. I am amazed by the relationships I have started with dealers in the Salem and Portland area. These guys got coins, want to move them and show their appreciation. I try and purchase any coin I can local, I present an offer and we go from there. I have consistently gotten slightly above wholesale if I frequent my local dealers. In very lucky here in Salem OR. 15 coinshops within a 60 mile radius. I have cleaned out my dealer in Stayton of all his 1980-2001 gem Lincolns and he always reminds me "buddy you got a good deal".
Oregon and Oregon people rock! Its the climate man :)

Hey Luv, I'm such a cheapskate when it comes to buying DDO / DDR and especially RPMs, rather find 'em by buying a whole roll to search! Now I will buy the errors you usually don't find raw, brockage, off center strikes. I have found blanks and clips, so don't but those either, just can't open the wallet to buy what I can find................or make

Or the seller is not telling the truth. Maybe they did search them (like where did all the single Lincoln cents they are also selling come from?), and are just saying they didn't search them.
