I seen this one for 40.00 you get a coin in the roll once it is Opened. I thought I would try and when results are in will share the coin. Good, Bad or otherwise. Any thoughts?

    One roll and you buy 1 coin, you get a coin based on what order your picked in from the roll. Its all done on camera and you get to watch if you want. then they send you what you got from the roll.

    My guess is you are going to get a coin worth about $20 but who knows. Maybe an 1870-S Seated is in there.

    And of course it will be revealed on You-tube.

    I doubt anything you get will be worth submitting. This is a gimmick, don't fall for it and spend money elsewhere.

    I don’t know why this isn’t obvious to people.

    It is listed as an uncirculated roll, which it is not.

    Should end well as he sold 22 of the 19 spots. What could go wrong?

    So, it looks like you got a well worn, likely cleaned, 1923-S?

    I've seen these but would rather bet the money on the Seattle Mariners to win the World Series.....

    Coins look to be worth melt. Yet, he get almost $800 for the way he sold it. More than double.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Not sure if he will last in the world of eBay his rating has dropped since he started this. I was thinking we could all do similar but with a good roll that we all pitch in and buy. No markup just buy the roll (better one) maybe old Morgan’s and see how it goes. Just a thought

    The wrapper is obviously old, but I believe it had been opened, salted with the end coin as a teaser and the rest of the lousy coins inserted.

    All 'unopened' rolls showing valuable end coins on Ebay are scams.

    Guessing the bidders on this roll are the same kinda folks that travel to Mexico to get a smoking deal on plastic surgery ;)

    I don't think any seller would pass good profitable prospect just because he / she loves would be buyer :|

    Well glad you all enjoyed the laugh just thought I would share an experience and it did not cost you a dime.

    Sure, but the downside is it encourages shady operators. Too bad this is so common. Otherwise it would actually be more entertaining.

    And, I think that is the crux of most of these comments....so many of us have seen these done enough times to rip people off, they no longer are something we want to see and definitely don't want to be part of.

    I doubt any of the comments were directly directed at the OP, but rather the style of the auction and how there really are no winners; except the seller. A "pig in a poke" comes to mind.

    It's kind of like gambling in vegas, but worse. Or, buying a lottery ticket. When we are part of it, we are excited. Now, how many people actually win? Or, better, win big? We all want to believe there is a chance....but, it won't happen :(

    If it looks to good it probable is. Better to pay for what you get then looking to go short.
