Do you buy off the net? Rolls of coins shoiwng a good one on the end?

smokeythecat · Oct 11, 2013

I've so tired of getting 2013 P coins lately, I actually bought a roll of these old things- a rolls of halves, etc with a silver one on the end and who knows what else inside. Figure it's not worth the money, but worth the looking.. any of you do this?

Thought about it but never have. I guess if you're taking the value of the ender + $9.50 minus shipping and paying at or close to that there's really nothing to lose

I'm sure the rolls are all weighed before they're listed so the chance of finding multiple silvers is pretty low. Good luck, let us know how you do.

Ive onky done it once and ya the total I paid was about what spot was for the ender showing pkus the $9.50 additional clad

If I want to lose money I go to the strip club, at least I get a good show!

Just bid for what's showing. Anything extra is a bonus.

It arrived today. I took no time opening it, near proof Franklin, a second Franklin with lots of detail and a near uncirculated 1968 Kennedy. Ok for me.

Nice work, that should be a great win for you, assuming you paid a reasonable price for only what was showing. Well done.

Ok , I'll bite - what did you pay ? ( you got some goodies for sure !)

I often pluck ender rolls from my boxes and sell them on ebay, no weighing first (which is not very accurate to begin with). the other day I was about to put a 1967 ender roll up, and at the last minute decided to open it for myself. Bam, 7 1967s all back to back in that roll. I couldn't believe it. so yes you can make money buying rolls on ebay but you have to be very lucky

You are an honest person. I think most of the sellers of rolls with enders on ebay know exactly what's in the rolls. The coin couriers are not the only ones who can crimp a roll in a professional way. Just like you and the roll with the '67s, I don't think many hear could see a roll with an ender and not have to find out what else is in there.
