First of all is this in the wrong category. If not feel free to move it. I saw this listing on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/One-pound-b...AOSwezVWttfrMY first thoughts: 1.)Why the heck would a bag of wheat pennys be marked UNSEARCHED right on the bag?  2.)The seller states Quote:I inherited this bag of wheat pennies from a coin collector . What kind of coin collecter first of all not search their wheat and second SEAL their wheat cents in a BURLAP bag?!?!  *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

 But they probably aren't counterfeit....just crummy old coins. |

I like how the seller says it is "apparently" unopened.

Unless it was sealed in 1958 when every cent in circulation was a Wheat cent (but I would still bet it was searched to weed out the Indian Head cents) every person that has touched it has searched it and cut it and passed it on the next sucker. Buyer beware. |

Yeah right, I guess it would be impossible for anyone to slip that seal tie over that bag ! Is this guy serious ? |

Where is he buying the bag from? Another attempt to fleece the unsuspecting.

Where do I buy bags that say "unsearched wheat cents"? Seems legit to me...

I can't believe somebody actually paid a printing company to make those! He could have at least given the bag a coffee bath to make it look a bit older.

It may not be outright dishonesty, but the $11.97 shipping charge is for darn sure a deceptive practice.
