There was a time when I avidly collected wheaties, Buffalo nickels, and pre-1960 Jefferson nickels from circulation and have dozens and dozens of rolls. They have been picked over only to the extent that if I needed the specific date/mint combo, I pulled it out. I haven't done any looking for minting varieties or errors. As I am now looking to sell off some of this accumulation, I'm hoping for some advice as to whether I should take the time to list out all the dates and mints in the auction/sale description or just leave it unknown. Do buyers generally pay more when they know what they are getting or do they pay more when there is still a glimmer of hope that a 1909S VBD lurks in there? I don't mind taking the time to tally up the coins if it materially adds to the amount that buyers are willing to pay, but would rather not waste my time if it is not value-adding. I'd appreciate any thoughts on this subject that you folks might have.

Just list them as never been checked for errors or varieties . DON'T mention anything to suggest what you might find in these rolls . Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34511 Posts	Posted 05/23/2016 9:06 pm Ok thanks folks. I am getting the clear message that it is better not to list things out. When I have some free time, I may try to list some here in the "items for sale" forum. I have no desire to start up with the process of selling on ebay.
