These rolls advertised in Numismatic News sure seem like they're salted. IMHO.  |

Never believe that a roll like that is unsearched. They've gone through it, pulled any key dates (and probably the semi-keys) and left you with common coins at an inflated price.

What a coincidence all those classic coins found their way onto the ends of wheat rolls!  |

On the O and S mint Barber dimes, how does he know they are Barber dimes? The Seated dime from 1860 - 1891 had the same reverse design. On the 1909 -P VDB How does he know what they are? If you can see the 1909 you can't see the VDB. If you can see the VDB you can't see the mintmark. |

That's disgusting. Someone needs to smack whoever let that ad through. Seriously.
How would you like to pay good money for an ad next to that piece of garbage? I'd be furious.

I guess the seller is looking for all those that P.T. Barnum said were "born every minute."

Why in heck would Numismatic News accept this garbage ad? They must be desperate for ad $. I wish someone would write a letter about the excellent 1909=P VDB point raised above! |

I agree that messing with this type of roll is a waste of time and money as what you're going to get is the end coins with a bunch of chaff wheats in the middle, but this advertiser isn't misrepresenting anything. They aren't claiming that the roll is "unsearched" like every roll seller on ebay does. |

When the mint started putting the initials on later they were on the obverse at the base of Lincolns' bust. If I saw a wheat back cent on the end of a roll and it had V.D.B. on it I would certainly be opening it up to see if the coin had an S mint mark. Ed ANA LM-3175 Edited by Gyrene7483
