To me these look like your standard "Seeded" rolls  |

Interesting, he has no Neg. feedback either.
I guess if you can get a roll for under 10 bucks then
not too bad. They are opened then re closed rolls though.

The thing that gets me is the COMPLETE lack of negative feedback! People post their find in the good feedback that they leave!

The thing that gets me is the fact that people feel the need to lie about these rolls. Why call them "unsearched"? Why make up a story about "inheriting a huge amount of coins" or "bought at an estate sale" or "found in a hidden room of a house we just bought inside an old gradfather clock"? This particular seller claims to have inherited a huge amount of rolls, and yet they have sold well over 3000 of them over the last few years according to their feedback. That goes beyond "huge" in my opinion. And every single one just happens to have an unusual coin and/or token on the end? Please... Seriously, just say you have a random assortment of wheat and/or IH cents that you have placed in a roll with a "bonus" coin on the end. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be interested in such a roll to fill holes in a collection without trying to convince people they might hit the jackpot and get an AU 1909SVDB out of it. |

Well, that seller sells other things too, but you could be right... Then again, if they searched them and put good coin in the center that people have claimed to find... why search them at all?

I did buy a couple of these types of rolls once just to see what the deal was. And I now have very nice examples of how people try to damage coins to increase the value. Mostly badly whizzed, severely dipped and polished. I now use them to show my son and his friends what to look for that will decrease the numismatic value in coins.
Very educational but I knew what I was most likely in for after reading many threads here. Personally, I will never buy "unsearched" rolls again from any source.

Really, if one had these rolls, however acquired, who wouldn't check out the tantalizing coins showing on the ends? Of course, the VDB is not an S, who could leave it alone and sell the roll unchecked....

jram: If it sounds to good to be true it probably is worth the pass.

I dunno.. I would have a good time looking through them. Searched or not, worst case you have a roll of wheat pennies at the end of the day. Of course the price has to be right...

Made up rolls. Without a doubt 100% "manufactured"
Only pay for what you can see on the ends.

I purchased one awhile back. (Knowing it was NOT legit). For the right price they can be good set fillers. I guess in weird sort of way it was unsearched for me because my expectations where so low that anything was a good surprise.
