AllSeasons Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 6:11 pm Congrats! Almost looks like a metal detecting find. If so, kudos to them for putting this back into circulation, so that a collector can find it. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 02/17/2023 02:04 am Quote: Seeder? Just like how unscrupulous sellers of played out gold mines would salt the rock with gold to make it seeming still a worthwhile purchase, some sellers of coin lots will add lower value Indian Head cents to roll ends to make the 49 culls that also are in this roll seem like a good deal. However, based on where you have posted this thread, my assumption is that you are searching through boxes of rolled coins from a bank rather than buying rolls on ebay or wherever.

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2281 Posts	Posted 02/17/2023 4:02 pm Yeah we do refer to these as seeders if selling in a roll end, mix of coins etc. It is purposely placed there to sweeten the deal, makes you want to search/buy more etc. I used it in another way though. It was purposely placed there to plant a seed for someone to start collecting.
