I haven't searched ebay anytime recently for Merc dime rolls, but today I did.

I swear, every other auction is for a wheat pennies roll with 1 merc dime "showing"... huh is this nonsense?

Can someone please explain when this ridiculous auctions all started?

Its been going on for a while, people basically just put "error" coins on the end so people think theyre getting some special roll with who knows what in it.

Theyre fine to bid on but just assume the only thing that isn't some common wheat is the end coins you can see and bid accordingly

It's really becoming a well-worn and tiresome ebay scam.
They've moved up from sticking 1909 cents on the ends of "original bank rolls".
Now they're sticking dimes...heck, even one was putting a Roman coin on the ends.

The worst one I saw had a quarter on the end that was pretty clearly glued since it didnt fit in the wrapper lol

Probably started around the same time people started selling "unsearched" rolls. Buyer beware.
