You can do as you like, some people just like the fun of searching, but I think you would do better to save your money and purchase the coins you wish to find in the rolls. Even the rolls that produce key dates are salted and are usually in really bad shape. They put them there for the feedback. I do find the stories of how they aquired the coins funny though

Another thing to keep in mind.If anybody knows of a seller that really has unsearched lots,I really doubt they would post it on here and increase the competition/bidding.I know I wouldn't.

FACT: The only unsearched coins to be found are at the bank. If someone really dies and someone knows nothing about coins and has a hoard...its going to coinstar not ebay. Anyone who knows enought to sell them knows enough to google "rare lincoln pennies" and pull the key dates...

I believe there are still some unsearched lots out there. How about the person who is left a bunch of coins and truly has no interest in them but sells them just to get rid of them. And if you find this person please let me know:-).

what they do is this , they put maybe a low quality Indian Head penny obverse on one end and reverse of a wheat at the other and they are real good at rolling coins. that is called baiting and they might say I can't guarantee what is in the roll and no returns.

I don't care how it's labeled, I just wish they would sell wheat lots at a reasonable price. If they are getting away with 300% profit, shame on the buyers. Unless a roll is special (specific date/mint, pure early decade, or high grade) even $3.00 is a little high. I like mine closer to $2 (shipped :)

The ebay sellers' sham descriptions remind me of the Nigerian emails that fill my spam box every day! Except instead of some seller's mysterious 'family member' dying and leaving behind a stash of coins, they've left me enough money to buy the 1933 Double Eagle!

I think you're right copper. I'll buy rolls when I need a date filler (like my last 1925-s?) Can't remember the mm. But I needed the coin, did a search and found one on the end of a roll for a good price. I don't think I do it that often, but there's a little extra excitement out of it.

YEAH, YEAH right. Go back and read my previous reply about the common, constant, repetitious reasons someone is selling coins.
Aside from unsearched coins, my (Father, Mother, Aunt, Uncle, etc.) died and left me coins and I know nothing about them.
I think many people just copy this and just line out the ones they don't want this time. Usually those coins were left by the same person that died over and over and over.

carl, there are some out there...I bought a lot that had an S-VDB from a guy that knew nothing about coins..he knew enough to read the date, but that was it.However, I agree that 98% of those stories are BS...but I've found quite a few of those sellers.

I'm tempted every now and then to pick up one of these, but then good 'ol common sense kicks in and I say no...

I have a truly unsearched wheatie hoard. every once in a while I go through a couple thousand. I loose patience with them.. while I do find some nice XF semi's they still aren't worth the time. I think about rolling them up and ebaying them but the problem is when I grab 50 and look what will end up in a roll, they end up all common dates. There are rolls that are about 40 years old look really intriguing, even those end up being solid circulated date rolls or just random 40's and 50's..
