97.7 feedback rating is pretty terrible. Anyone can buy a roll crimper... I'm betting on mostly no date or partial date buffs, worth a good bit less than a dollar each.
Here's my five cents worth of info. There was a thread where someone asked "when did coins become available in machine wrapped rolls?" I dont recall but it seems that it was in the late twenty's or thirties . Also , when banks/armored car companies roll coins, I would tend to think that the coins are from one year or within a few years of any date . Coins wrapped in 2001 would be made up mostly of coins dated 1998-2001 with a scattering of earlier dates . How would rolls be made covering 35 years of production? Was the bank saving them to offer collectors a variety?Probably not .
$1.25 a per nickel, a little high. The local B&M in my area offers common Buffalo circs for .75 cents each. No doubt they will be ugly, you get what you pay for.
He knows enough to say "there could be a 13-S or 16-S in them," but doesn't look through them himself? That's a flat-out lie. I guarantee they're picked through, worn to hell and overpriced. If they all were guaranteed to have full dates you might gamble $20, but that's it. And his feedback is horrific. Stay far, far away.
