Up for auction here - this is one of 10,000+ UNSEARCHED rolls I purchased from the estate of an Eccentric Banker who hoarded old pennies. These rolls had been stashed for over 40 years by the banker's son. is an UNSEARCHED Lincoln Cent Wheat / Penny Roll including an 1864 Indian Head cent (bronze) end coin which has a FULL LIBERTY ! (The 4 in the 1864 is weak, but the date is clearly an 1864). ( the other end of the roll shows a FULL LIBERTY 1907 Indian Head Penny !) 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 UNSEARCHED Bank Wrapped 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 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-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 9 months, and feedback has been very positive. Please check my 900 + feedbacks, you’ll see a 99.8% positive score. 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 original bank-wrapped 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 with uninteresting end coins are being stashed in a large safe until I figure out how I'm going to sell them). I suggest you purchase one roll and see for yourself.
