Bought one of these rolls from ebay to add on to my nickel collection. I'm sure they have been searched or hand rolled by someone (may have not been the seller), but like I said, just getting a start on a buffalo set.

So you guys think that this was a good deal?

I'd say if they are all dated, that isn't too bad of a deal. Not the best, but not the worst.

Any time you buy rolls like these it's a roll of the dice at best. Perhaps they will be decent. Hopefully you won't end up with results like the ones from their negative comment feed-backs.

Sorry, but you will be disappointed, but only $20 worth of disappointment. They are new rolls of probably common date buffaloes. Maybe ok deal, but NOT good deal.

But please make me wrong and report any decent find.

As a general rule, usually just a way to get rid of low grade, common dated coins. BUT, you never know. Might be something fantastic in there.

Ive bought rolls a few times, usually they are crap, but the ones without a great end coin seem to produce better results. Hope you get a good one!

17 different dates...not too bad. And yes, you can have fun dating the unreadable ones. Any raised grounds or mint marks on the no dates?

Tony Fein has Full Date VF/EF's for $28 on VCoins: http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/ton...Default.aspx

I think you got the bad end of the deal on this one. But what that's what you get for chancing on an ebay sale. Atleast you're only out a few Dollars.
