Up for auction here - from the estate of an Eccentric Banker who hoarded old pennies.is an UNSEARCHED / NOT CHERRY_PICKED Lincoln Cent Wheat / Penny Roll including an 1864 (Copper Nickel C/N) Indian Head cent end coin !!( the other end of the roll has a Reverse showing of Indian Head Penny, so the date is unknown !)If you win this auction you will win the roll pictured !The roll is very tightly packed and not tampered with. It is exactly as I purchased it from the estate hoard of an Eccentric Banker - Unopened. I take a picture of the end coins, that's it!Eccentric Banker Massive Hoard of Wheat Pennies! I have found THE Mother Lode of all Penny Hoards! Please read before you bid:These are Premium NOT-SEARCHED BANKERS ESTATE HOARD Wheat Penny Rolls and my Feedback History proves it! Here's how I acquired them:Eccentric Banker hoarded 500,000 + wheat and Indian Head Pennies, died in 1979, inheritance passed to his son, who also inherited the bank. Son left the pennies (mostly in shotgun rolls) in personal vault at the bank. Son is now retiring, and sold ALL of them to me. My connection was through an Estate Planning Attorney. I cashed in one of my retirement accounts, took a leap of faith, and wrote out a very large check to buy all the rolls. I now have 10,000 UNSEARCHED / NOT-CHERRY-PICKED rolls of Wheat Pennies. I was allowed to randomly sample 50 rolls of my choosing before purchasing them, and this is what I found in the 50 sampled rolls :-Only one (1) Memorial cent in 50 rolls.-A high percentage of 1930's, and of those, many are mint-marked, much more so than you would expect based on actual mintage quantities.-A low percentage of 1940's and 1950's Wheats, compared to actual mintage quantities, but there were some 1943 Steel cents.-Compared to mintage quantities of all Wheat Pennies, a surprising number of pennies in the teens and 20's, some with mint marks.-11 Semi-Keys were found (09 VDB, 10-S, 12-D, 12-S, 13-S, 14-S, 22-D, 24-D etc.)-123 Indian Head pennies, mostly ranging from 1880 to 1909, but 4 were in the 1859 to 1879 range.-2 Flying Eagles, -6 Mercury dimes, 3 Barber dimes, and 1 Seated Liberty dime. (Apparently the dimes were accidentally mixed in when the coins were rolled).-Overall the quality of the pennies was well above average, most likely because they had been out of circulation for roughly 35+ years. There were only a few AG's, some Goods, some VG's, and some BU's, but many of the pennies were Fine, VF, XF, AU, or UNC.I have been selling these rolls slowly on Ebay for the past 18 months, and feedback has been very positive. Please check my 3000 + feedbacks, you'll see a long list of satisfied customers.I have no intention of opening the remaining (exceeding 10,000) rolls, instead I'm going to sell a few on Ebay every week, so my fellow Ebayers can enjoy the searching for the rare and valuable coins! You may not find a Key or a Semi-Key in every roll, but based on my sampling and the feedbacks, you should at least find many older wheats - and quite a few with mint marks!By the way - I do not manufacture false claims of FOUND Key coins, like others might. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is not true. I can tell you this - you will enjoy searching through these old shotgun rolls - and I believe you'll find what I found: these are NOT your average run-of-the mill 40's and 50s wheat rolls!When you view my listings, you might wonder why most of the rolls I'm selling have enticing or interesting end coins. It's because I have decided to only list those rolls which have an interesting end coin! (The remaining rolls can be purchased as 2-packs or 6-Packs of rolls from my eBay Store).I suggest you purchase one roll and see for yourself. I think you'll buy more after that! I plan to list a few rolls every week plus some Buy-It-Now listings - so look for those as well.I ALWAYS SHIP the Next Business morning after your payment clears!Your positive feedback is important to me, so please contact me before leaving any negative feedback if somehow you are unhappy with your purchase. We'll work out a solution together. Obviously I cannot offer refunds on these rolls because I do not know the contents! Shipping cost includes USPS tracking. Shipping cost on additional rolls will be $1.25 each, provided the additional purchases are within 72 hours of first purchase and paid on the same invoice. Please notify me of intent to combine payment. Thank you for your consideration and please have a look at my other listings.No International Shipping, sorry. U.S. only.
