Where is this guy getting all of these? He's sold quite a few in the past few months!

WOW! $3,100 already? He even admitted that they arent all CCs, and the bids still come in like crazy. I'll tell ya, there's a sucker born every minute.

And of course he advises NOT opening the roll for it's investment potential. (his or yours?) And of course if you do open it it isn't returnable.

Where does he get them? He possibly makes them.

yeah, you keep it for 10 yrs, and when you open it and find out you got duped you'll have forgotten who you bought them from. There are a lot of stupid people out there.....and this is without even getting into a discussion on politics.

there is 1 CC at least. These rolls are for people with expendable income.

Amazing, there just happens to be a cc reverse showing (bu at that) on almost all of his rolls. Funny thing is the feedback. Everybody seems very pleased.

You guys are brutal. The guys got 100% feedback, stellar DSRs, and a very recent positive for one of these rolls that went for over 7K. All positive on these rolls in fact. Yet you still jump to the conclusion that he must be a crook. Quite pitiful if you ask me.

I agree. His listing seems legit, he discloses that they may not all be CC and he has all positive feedback. It may be a gamble to some extent, but $300 a coin isn't all that bad. You know you're getting at least 1 CC and the toning on the top coin is unbelievable. That toning alone would bring a huge premium. Plus you have the thrill of opening one of these rolls. If I had the money I would probably pick one up.

I may be missing something, and perhaps he does some how just roll these himself, I don't know, but with positive feedback from similar rolls, I think that is less likely.

since you mentioned that toning... THAT is what has me skeptical about this whole thing. I thought these rolls were pretty legit until I saw that monster toning. It looks artificial to me, but I could be way off.

That $7000 roll was due to the DMPL coin on the end which was very impressive in the photos.

The feedback is great, so it sounds like this guy is on the up-and-up. The rolls of "old nickels" from another seller, however, with a Shield nickel on one end and a V nickel on the other end. Those are trash - full of common buffaloes.
Rest in Peace

Great feedback proves nothing, I've seen crackout-artists with the 'top rated seller' label.
