Anyone CRH 90%silver or old coin rolls?

[507]

silver dealers online sometimes sell rolls of 90% coins saying they are unsearched. i wonder if there would be potential in sorting through something like this.


not too sure if i believe they're really unsearched though... anyone do something like this?

How does the seller know what's in each of those rolls unless someone, at some point, took a look at each of the coins now inside? I'd be downright angry if I ordered a roll of Barbers from them and found a Roosevelt in the middle.

lol, that's true. i thought maybe they'd just check for a date range if they have a massive inventory

The problem I have with that ad is that it says "unsearched circulated." Well, somebody looked at them at some point before they got pulled out of circulation and put back in a roll. That doesn't count as "unsearched" for me. And at 13.5x to almost 15x face, I'd rather find them from a bank roll at 1x face.

I bought a couple of dime rolls many years ago, the auction ended at below melt with shipping so I figured what the heck.
Not only were the coins bad shape and a little thin and light, they were in chronological order in the rolls. the wrappers were newer and beat up to look old.
In weighing them I paid just a few cents over spot even with the poor condition, I figured it was a cheap lesson and I really did not lose out overall.
Same thing I see with the extraordinary amount of shotgun rolls of pennies with a 1909 one side and a Merc at the ender, the chances that one person has 45 rolls with this exact thing to happen is about the same of winning a top lotto prize. My 2cents

Online,
UNSEARCHED generally means LIAR or SCAM

They probably aren't searched. However there's not really any date in the Roosevelt dimes to really make it worthwhile if it happened to be in there anyways is there? Maybe a 1955 but its still not worth that much. Unless maybe they're all uncirculated but the price doesn't reflect that I don't think.

I fell into the unsearched penny trick one time and bought a whole jar full of 1945-48 pennies for about five times what they were worth. Won't do that ever again.

Hello everyone,


An example of some dimes being received and getting ready to go into the counting/rolling machine:

He only true I searched rolls/coins are in the fed vault, they are in bags sitting wayyyy in the back and at the bottom or top of the shelves of bagged coins....

Am I the only one who get the feeling the original question was intended to get a response from the linked business?

I monitor our website stats and saw some traffic come in from this thread so I thought I'd check it out.

I guarantee you I have no affiliation with nor do I know the original poster, and my chiming in to the discussion was merely to assure anyone who was wondering that the coin rolls are truly unsearched.

Okay, so perhaps the dimes in question have not been searched by the seller; however, since the were pulled from circulation they would have had to have been found by someone. How can something be unsearched if it had to be found?

I don't know, maybe I'm splitting hairs here. To me, the whole idea of advertising something as "unsearched" is to entice the buyer into believing that there is a more-than-average potential to find some hidden treasure since the coins haven't been looked at (by the seller). In reality, someone, somewhere had to look at them, i.e. search for them in order to cull them out of circulation in the first place, likely pulling out any of the said hidden treasure. I believe the use of the term "unsearched" in any of these ads is intentionally misleading, or at the very least a little deceptive.

Beachkid and Liu have it right anyway... There isn't much of anything in the silver Roosevelt dime series to be found to justify spending more on an "unsearched" roll anyway. They're all circulated, not a very high likelihood of finding anything near MS. The only true unsearched roll is a sealed mint roll.

A potentially interesting turn of events. Where did all of those coins come from, and how is it certain that they're all (or even mostly) 90%?
