"United States Mint coins are rolled by an automated machine process and not by hand; thus, [they] cannot guarantee that the obverse (heads) or reverse (tails) of a coin will be at either end of a coin roll."
While that is preferred, yes, it isn't always a possibility. So long as when you sell them, you break them down by type, you'll be good (i.e., BIN with XX available of rolls with obv and rev showing, with an example photo of both sides plus the wrapper; and a BIN of XX available of rolls with only obv or only rev showing), since if someone is looking for a specific type of roll, they will then get it and you'll be spared any SNAD claims. While I don't buy mint rolls, when I put my higher-grade modern duplicates in rolls I ensure that all the coins are faced the same way; but when I put my lower-grade modern duplicates that I'm keeping for one reason or another in rolls, they go in as they go in, no order at all.
I think it's good for you if you try to sell them to list them the way I stated earlier, that way if one sells better than another, you can decide if it's even worth your time to hang on to other end roll types. (Since I have a suspicion most folk on here will agree with obv and rev being preferred for a roll, but that might not correlate well to other not-hard-core collectors that might be on ebay)
