A bank with rolled wheat cents, yea right!

A new way to sell crap wheaties!

airplanenut · April 7, 2003 10:20AM

I emailed him... let's await a response

Dimetime · April 7, 2003 10:25AM

I bought a few of his rolls for my son to start a penny book with. They're due in any day. I'll let you know whats in them when I get them.

GaCoinGuy · April 7, 2003 10:53AM

Sounds crazy......if they truly bank wrapped, thats not too bad of a price for 5 rolls.

I ain't no expert there, but they don't look nowherenearbankwrapped. In my opinion he probably has a machine and wrapped them himself.

That's exactly that I thought. But not a bad story. Speaking of bad stories, what happend to Hearold!!!

Feedback rating of 1,480 with 100% positive feedback reviews. Must have made more than a few customers very happy.

NumisEd · April 7, 2003 6:44PM

This is an easy one: ask him for the name of the bank and then call to verify the story. This guy is full of crap!

Good thing I had my hipwaders handy.....

ksteelheader · April 7, 2003 8:19PM

That is an awful price. Comes out to 6.3 cents per coin, not even taking shipping into account. I buy mine from my dealer at 3 cents each..................Ken

"I got a phone call from a branch of a major bank"

If it was a true story, why wouldn't he name the bank?

nwcs · April 7, 2003 8:56PM

Why would the bank call him?

MadMarty · April 7, 2003 8:59PM

Take a 5 gallon bucket of old searched through wheaties, roll them up and come up with a great story! Instant E-Bay sales!

Marty:

It's all about Marketing isn't it?

Even if his story is bunk, so what? They're real wheaties, he did not manufacture them himself and call them real.

Obviously he keeps his customers happy. His feedback is flawless and numerous, so he must be doing something right.

Besides, I have read the Morgan stories, sorry can't remember the date off hand, where thousands of EXTINCT Silver dollars were suddenly found in a Treasury Vault a few decades ago.

If you heard that in real time, all you coin quarterbacks would say, bunk, bunk, bunk! The story is true!

The 1804 Draped Bust story is pretty farfetched, yet true. Bunk, bunk, bunk.

1933 St. Gaudens, strange but true. Bunk, Bunk, Bunk.

There just a bunch of Freakin' Wheaties!

Who cares?

Go sell some coins!

MadMarty · April 7, 2003 10:03PM

True, I just wish he would shoot it to us straight. Say, "I had a bucket of wheaties and rolled them". I know it's about the marketing, it just reminded me of Bev and poor old Hearold!

Ljr1964 · April 7, 2003 10:07PM

I was just reading through his most recent feedback.

Praise : Couple Indians, some steelies, decent mix. Very recently rolled!

Very recently rolled.

You coin sleuths are probably right on the money.

GaCoinGuy · April 7, 2003 10:31PM

Yeah, I wonder what happened to Poor Ole Harold?

silverandvinyl · April 8, 2003 5:18AM

numis ed: I sent him an e-mail asking for the name of the bank and the phone and the person he dealt with.No responce as of this time Sent it out this AM.With all those pos.feed back,maybe he's ok.

hey mr big, dont you know andy ?

TommyB · April 8, 2003 5:55PM

I could not resist for 20 bucks. I will let you know when I get mine what is in there. Why does he owe it to anybody to give them the name and phone number of his contact? He'd be crazy.

Dimetime · April 9, 2003 5:56AM

Just got mine in today. They are fresh bank rolled. Most are 40's and 50's but theres a nice sprinkling of 10's 20's and 30's. A lot of 1919's. All in all a fun way for my son to search for common dates. I'm happy with them.

DCAMFranklin · April 9, 2003 6:03AM

Glad to hear you are happy with your purchase. With that kind of 100%, perfect feedback, you knew he has to be doing it very well. Hope your son has lots of fun with the pennies.

Coppernicus · April 9, 2003 6:10AM

These are machine wrapped, but not many years ago. More like days ago! Buy a lot, then leave feedback like, "Thanks! A 55 DDO in AU58 and a 14-D in XF. Thanks again!!!" It'll drive the guy nuts thinkung that he missed when he (un) searched them!

satootoko · April 9, 2003 7:56AM

<< <i>These are machine wrapped, but not many years ago. >>

Right on!

To be "bank-rolled unsearched wheaties" they had to be wrapped at least 45 years ago. Twenty-three years ago my office was inside a bank branch, where they were still folding the ends of rolls, and the wrapper style in his picture hadn't come on the scene yet!

Dimetime · April 9, 2003 10:56AM

I'm sure these are the same as every other seller. They just have a rolling machine. They look rolled yesterday.

silverandvinyl · April 9, 2003 6:55PM

I received a reply from the company yesterday.Here what they said." Being a corporation,we can not divulge the names or phone # of our clients,so if you want to withdraw your bid please do so."I did throw in 1 bid.I don't know what to think about this company!!!!!!!!!

Does this one sound like a load of crap!
