Pretty difficult to prove truly unsearched coins.
Sometimes one gets lucky on a buy of a large lot though.
I always pick up larger lots of wheats if I come across
them. I used to sell them by the 1K or 3K. Think I still have around 6k left. I just weigh them and bag them up. I do not pick through them personally but I cannot actually say to anyone that they are unsearched. Maybe they were, maybe they were not. I sort of gave up on selling them by the larger lots as it is a lot of work for a min. profit. I found rolling them and selling them at my flea market by the roll makes for a better profit. People scoop them up @ $3.00 per roll. I sold in bulk @ 04.75 cents ea. (plus shipping) By the roll I got .06 cents ea.
The cost of shipping larger lots is now a factor.
Especially if by Int'l mail. Best way to go is by priority box however. What can you do ? Besides, selling wheats can either make you a hero or a villain :)
I've had raves about some lots and distain over others because no 09 vdb-s was found. It's a coin flip sometimes.
Overall though one usually makes out pretty well in the long run. Wheat cents are not going to get more plentiful
as time goes by. Then there is also the copper value issue.
That could double down the road also to 6 to 8 cents ea. or higher.
