  • 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.
  • Yep... Some of the feedback is pretty bad.....

  • 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. image

    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.

    Read and heed that feedback. Way too high of a price for a roll of Buffs. Yeah-I'll just BET they're unsearched, too.
