I find it amazing, I was just about to post about this noahdubois32 seller. Look at all the wheat 1909 cents he has that look like they were minted yesterday. Then look at how high his bids are. Could he be selling fake 1909 cents? This makes me worry about how many other dates of his cents are fakes that he is selling as genuine as many of his listings have wheat cents of various years that literally look like they were minted yesterday...no oxidation on the surfaces at all. Given these coins are near or over a hundred years old and stored in open ended bank rolls there is no way that the copper would look so fresh.

I would have bought that one but that $5 shipping is just to much.  |

The main problem with your open-end shotgun rolls with 09 VDB coins at both ends is that there were no shotgun wrappers in 1909.

Look at the end of the rolls, they have been tampered with.

Also lists a 1961 Proof set "sealed and unopened"
I thought all of the sets that were shipped in envelopes in that era were shipped unsealed from the mint. (The ones I have are unsealed, anyway)
Can anyone shed light on this?

Well, continuing on my lifelong quest to be the most unpopular and utterly despised member in this coin forum, I have to tell you guys, I don't see what you're all so rattled about. At least, give me some credit, I'm being honest. The pics on this subject coin could zoom-up clearer, I'll give you all that. But, this could very well be a MS-66, even a MS-67, in-hand.
If you roll the dice, you've got a two-week return policy, no questions asked. Look at his rolls. He's in the business. It's a little unfair to lump him in with some amateur who can't even spell. This guy defrauds one buyer, his whole racket goes down, he's toast. Would you feel better were this subject coin in a PCGS or NGC MS-66RD holder? Well, it's not. While the TPGs do try to monopolize the coin market, they don't. This is capitalism at it's best.
I don't see anything wrong with what this guy is doing, here, with this listing, outside of asking more for the subject coin than you (and, I'll include, I, too) would be willing to pay. Let him alone. And, no, I don't know this guy. Sheesh.

If you wanted to show me what a small-minded person you are you just succeeded with a comment like that. On this seller's feedback, his 16 negatives you reference in the past 12 months are hardly compelling in the light of these 2233 positives: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...interval=365. |

I think its just a case of buyer beware. I saw a roll of wheaties sell for $570 because the lead cent was a 1909 S. The condition of that coin was maybe VF and had a striated surface.
The back coin was an AU VDB.
Does somebody really think that a coin dealer would not open a roll of cents if there was a distinct possibility that there could be a thousand dollar coin, no, many thousand dollar coins in it?
Would you pay $570 betting he didn't?
Generally, I think grab bags of coins are for kids.

I agree, of course a collector would go through those. That 1911 was funny though.

If you actually look at the positive feedback, most of it is for $5-20 transactions... it's a lot higher ratio of bad feedback for the higher priced auctions.
