I greatly appreciate your expertise and opinion in this field.
Why would the seller pass such a promise if he / she knows there maybe a real chance in these rolls
I do love those 1955/55 DDO double date struck one though...$1250 for a penny is kind of hard to justify right now
If $1250 for a penny is hard to justify, how can spending $160 where the probability of finding a 55/55 is approaching 0% be justified?
Your odds and the payoff are better at the roulette wheel at the casino. And neither is very good there.
This thread is a good example showing how sellers are not always the primary source of ebay related problems.
Posters here have concluded the following:
The ebay listing is for 50 rolls.
The rolls came from a sealed box.
Since the sealed box says NY on it, the rolls must have been wrapped in or around NY.
The seller will clear $8K.
You could "hope for" a few MS66 pieces.
None of this is claimed or can be discerned with certainty from the listing.
@Paradisefound ...I am glad you decided against this offering. Odds were terribly high against finding one of the DDO cents... I had three of these when I was a kid with a paper route (one of them, even before the route, was given to me by my Dad who smoked Lucky Strike cigarettes - he said it would be worth a lot someday). These three disappeared when I joined the Navy, I know my Mom just cleaned out a lot of my stuff and likely bought a loaf of bread with them...she had no idea they were special. I have been change searching for one ever since.... Cheers, RickO

I would think '50 Pennies' would be printed after the cents were rolled.
Several rolls shown the printing does not line up.
That would tell me they were opened.
I've learned that if you have to question something to this extent, leave it alone.
I would think your chances of finding a 55 DD to be nada.
No, they print the paper before wrapping. MUCH easier to print flat paper than curved rolls.
I will agree to disagree,
If that were the case the printing would not be on the edges of the paper.
Why does some printing line up, and others don't?
I would think the company rolling these cents would want the printing legible.
You can agree to disagree, but that's just you agreeing to be wrong.
OK,OK, don't get your knickers in a knot....

That's a heck of a story, Ricko. It's a real life confirmation of what we already knew........and the brand of cigs to boot!
Sometimes life is a better confirmation of things than any amount of research could provide.

Then in all reality you don't know...
If you go back and read my first post I started with 'going out on a limb'
Then did a search for info related to coin rolling machines.
I feel it is safe to say those rolls in the OP have been opened searched and haphazardly rerolled.
Also feel to say that ebay sellers such as this would cause buyers to drink and return items for being listed as something they are not.

So safe to say there was only one type of machinery rolling coins in the 50's?
All done the exact same way?
Lastly, these pic's, listings are without a doubt 100% original, never opened, messed with?
Right.
Carry on...

At $159 per roll, refer to P.T. Barnum before acting.
Check out my current listings: https://ebay.com/sch/khunt/m.html?_ipg=200&_sop=12&_rdc=1
Not misleading anyone, you have to be right no matter what.

For the sake of argument, how many (approximately) of these 'thousand of' rolls were from the 40's-50's that you have handled?

These are modern, OP's rolls are from the 50's.
