bryan1234 Valued Member United States 463 Posts	Posted 04/02/2010 10:02 pm I recently bought 10 rolls of wheats on ebay that were said to be not searched (i knew it was bs as I see thousands of those ads). I was right, I went through and sorted everything and I came out with the following 3 50-59 Philly 2 50-59 Denver 1 20-30 mixed mints 2 40-49 Philly 2 40-49 Denver So now what should I due with them, I dont really collect pennies. the Red Book has these listed at min of 10-50 cents each Report this Post to the Staff

Whytlash Valued Member United States 407 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 02:41 am I'm sure he is indicating the number of rolls for each year sequence. In one context I don't see anything wrong with this. Unsearched is a real relative term. The simple fact of the matter is that there really isn't ANY roll of wheat cents running around out there that hasn't been searched in some fashion at some point. There are exceptions to that, of course, but they are relatively few and far between. But with something like this, 10 rolls of "unsearched" wheat cents, what was one expecting to find? Like they say, "Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances." Steve Report this Post to the Staff
bryan1234 Valued Member United States 463 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 11:09 am Yes thats in rolls after I sorted them up, only reason I bid on them is I got them all for 30 shipped. When looking on other auctions with so called un searched I noticed there going for 3-5 each min, plus if I put an Indian head they will sell for more. I filled 9 holes so it wasnt bad but now I got to figure out how to sell some of them, I'm not sure should I keep them as is or due something else with them. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 11:13 am do NOT resell them as unsearched, if you do, most members would not welcome you here because of dishonest selling Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 11:16 am Why not keep them? They're bound to be even more collectable than they already are, seeing as the US cent is changing yet again. Report this Post to the Staff
