OK I see hundreds of rolls of unc bank rolls of wheat cents for sale on ebay some say with 1909 VDB showing on both ends?

My question are these real of is the market being flooded with fake rolls of wheat cents?

I would like to buy some but what the real thing and am surprised that there are so many unc rolls of wheat cents but never looked for these before now on ebay.

Not fake coins, rolls are just seeded with semi-key coins to give the appearance that the roll may be solid VDBs or whatever. Here is a recent thread about a roll with a 1909-S on one end and a VDB on the other

I don't understand. Are you sure these are unc (uncirculated) rolls and not obw (original bank wrapped rolls)? Also keep in mind most shotgun style rolls are not obw. This obw abbreviation is being used alot (especially on ebay) for all shotgun rolls including modern rolls and not just the old original uncirculated unsearched rolls from the bank. I would beware of hype like this.

The same "herding" psychology that caused fairly intelligent people to lose $50 billion dollars with Bernie Madoff. Look someone else is buying it so it has to be good. Lemmings to the sea.
