Not necessarily....  ...in recently closed auctions of other rolls like this one, seller provides these words of wisdom: Quote:
This is an investment that you want to not tamper with, and wait until you are sure a return on your money will come. Opening the roll now is risky, the longer you keep it in one piece, the higher return you will see. Possibly the avoidance of neg feedback (so far) supports sustained self confidence in the notion that the above warning is no longer necessary? See there...? Opening the roll to find out what you actually bought is not a smart idea. |

I tend to agree with the others opinions about the edge coins. If the roll hadn't been tampered with then there would have to be toning of some type on the exposed coins.

I read all the posts on this and yes it might be good to be true, many or should I say most rolls have been searched, and I agree with "why is he selling them." With all that said, I am in AWE of these rolls, living in Nevada is great, and seeing all the "CC" coins that you know have been run through a slot machine in days past, to this beautiful roll of UNC CC's. Could they be real, is there a Santa Claus :-) WOW! Then I look at the their feedback and the hard sell about economic conditions. I believe CC's are in their own world, only fluxing with the numismatic market.

Note these coins are in what appears to be a faked Carson City shotgun roll. That seller makes no guarantee whatsoever that all the coins will be a "CC" mintmark. Other buyers of these rolls have found the center littered with AU trash with anything BUT a CC mintmark. Caveat Emptor on this stuff...

I am too. And there's nothing we can do since we can't report the subtle ones. Well, nothing within the bounds of civilized behavior, anyway....

It just amazes me that people actually (fairly routinely) buy stuff like that...I'm not the smartest person in the world, but c'mon...really?

When Xbox 360 first came out, prices skyrocketed and there were a lot on ebay getting 3x the retail value. People also started to sell the Xbox 360 box, just the box. The auctions in huge bold black letters clearly read "This auction is for the box only, no console." People started to bid and some of those boxes went for hundreds of dollars. People get all excited and don't read the auction, they look at the pic and then decide. Not smart, but it's their fault. |

The seller states "these rolls have never been opened" which, of course, is true since he rolled them himself a few days ago. 100% scam.

One thing that is to be learned here is that if you are buying coins and enjoying the collector mentality with no worries about hitting the mother lode then you will be fulfilled. The easiest way to ruin the hobby fun is to start wanting to make big $$ on it.......lends itself to bad purchases and misery. You are better off finding what you like and setting realistic goals for getting your 'dream coin/s', then buying quality stuff.

I just can't believe this guy made almost $5000 dollars, but chances are that he's going to get 5 returns for every 1 kept...and that 1 kept will be at a lower price. Still, you know, its terrible. I'm going to be listing 300 coins to make $1500 or so and working for DAYS while this chump just rolls some garbage up and makes a killing? It's completely unfair.

The longer you keep it unopened, the closer to the end of the statute of limitations for fraud. Remember the guy who sold Statehood Quarters for less than face, months, sometimes years, before issue date? You can bet ebay remembers, he was the reason they changed the rules on advance orders in listings. IIRC, he took something like $400,000 in advanced payments that ebay eventually made good on, getting as little as $2 a roll for the last coins, due in 5-8 years. His feedback was excellent, and hilarious. It was typical to read a couple dozen positives for excellent product and fast delivery for coins that might not exist for another year. How? Simple. He'd put right in the ad that if you left +FB, he'd give you free shipping! |

I forgot I commented on this thread. I just posted a similar auction for discussion here yesterday. It's BS, plain and simple.
