Sellers Item description....
Quote:
THANKS This auction is for A OLD ORIGINAL BANK SEALED BAG OF ONE THOUSAND WHEAT PENNIES FROM THE DATES OF 1909 to 1958. I have purchased a few of these bags on my way through Ohio and feel it was a very good find these bags are sealed and have not been opened in a very long time you may even find a indian or two who knows. Dont let these bags get away . GOOD LUCK.


Sellers response to my question on how an original bank sealed bag fo $50 worth of pennies only has 1000 in it. I also asked how did he know what dates were in them...........

Quote:
Thanks These bags were purchased by me and and they were put in the bag by the man whos estate I bought them from. I have opened and also sold many bags in all different quanitys with many many postive feedbacks but they may not be what your looking for . john

I don't even think banks have used those plastic bags for more then maybe 10 years or so...they used cloth bags before that didn't they?
Rest in Peace

He must have had "US Mint" bags laying around, eh? . So much for that "old original bank sealed bag" moniker.

Are we being too picky, or would it be OK to make such claims when selling to collectors here? Hmm...dunno, maybe?

What a deal - cherry-picking and doubling his investment.

I want some of that. Sign me up!
