Not sure if anyone has seen this. But, interesting description of what's for sale. Wonder how many of the old OBW are like this. I give this person credit for being straight up.

"I counted and rolled 48 Wheat and 2 Indian Heads Per roll."

Im wondering what the relationship between, "unsearched" and "48 wheat and 2 indian heads" is.

maybe he/she sorted them by touch.

I don't it would be THAT misleading to call them "unsearched" because when you go buy wheats you expect to find something cool in there. With these at least he's telling you what you'll find. If one were to type in "unsearched" in the search bar, one would still find what one was looking for.

You're just gonna roll 48 wheats without looking to see if one is an '09S VDB, 14D, 22 No D, 31S or a '55 DDO and then throw in two IHC's without checking to see if it is a '77 or '09S?

He/she also has several listings for just "5 Wheat and Indian Head penny Rolls" and "5 Wheat penny Rolls". Maybe those are the only ones they searched.

Sorry, I got burned on the "unsearched" garbage when I first started collecting and it has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Like Scooby, I purchased rolls and never found them to be what they were purported to be. I just don't trust anything I read on ebay!

I've bought wheat rolls for as cheap as possible, not with the idea that by some miracle i'll pull out a 09SVDB, but just for the sake of adding to my wheat pile. of course, almost all the listings are for "unsearched" rolls. maybe they mean unsearched in the last 60 days...

JHS,

I need to learn how to sort by "touch". This will give my back and neck some rest.
Where do I sign up?

Peace
