    I will open up a few "Unsearched" Wheat Penny Rolls from the closed Flint Amusement Park (1921-1961) once located in Flint, Michigan. I had a viewer reach out to me and gave me the backstory on the rolls. Then, he asked if I wanted a few rolls and to give my input on what I thought about them. Let's see what they have inside!

    A few years ago I bought a bag of 500 mixed wheat cents for my younger brother for Christmas from an ebay seller with no pretense of having been searched. It was an excellent mix of mints and decades and contained around 15 different Indian Cents as well in decent condition. It was a seller with great reviews. My brother has autism and really enjoyed it as I enjoyed watching him search it.

    Brings back memories of when I started collecting in 1958 in Southern California. I kept all pennies 1939 and older and probably have 40,000. Still collecting and as I say it is the cheapest hobby you can have if you just roll hunt. I found one flying eagle penny and hundreds of Indian heads. My best penny is a 09 S VDB in extra fine condition. (bought that one). Keep up the good work and love your videos.

      Back then 1940-1958 Wheats weren't worth holding onto I am sure. Saving pennies 1939 and older almost sounds like saving nickels 1959 and older.

      Holy Cow! 40k is impressive. You are actually sitting on a nice pile of money if you were to resell on secondary markets! I would love to share some of those resources should you ever decide to sell. If you just wanna dump 40k coins on your descendants then you could do that also 🤣🤣

      Also makes me think of the past. My mother saved all her wheats but had NO Idea what she was doing with them. It was just her thing. She had several pill bottles full and as a kid I would get into them every so often and play with them in secret. Then I would put them all back just how they were. Never thought that 30 years later I would be a full blown coin addict lol.

    The wife and I were watching your video the other night and you found that Penny with the cross clipped out of it. I said Oh wow id like to have one of those. The very next day she comes home from work and says Hey Babe I got you something. She searches thru all the change before making drops and buys out any coins im looking for so she could have had anything. She reach me a Cross Penny. I was like dang whats the odds of that lol. She scored 14 Silver Benjamin last week.

    Well that was fun! Really interesting mix of dates and conditions. Nothing too worn, but nothing really super nice either. I wouldn't have any idea if legit or not. I suppose if they were only used at the arcade it could explain the condition. Either way, that was fun to watch! Hope you get to do more like this!! Longer videos are okay with me.

    That was an interesting hunt with a good variety of dates and mints. When I was a paperboy back in the mid 70s I would sometimes get an Indian Head and the odd steelie when I collected my weekly payments. I live in Canada and I miss having circulating pennies because I could get American pennies and if I did , any before 1959 I would keep. Penny hunts rock!

    rob i'd definitely recommend you open up one of those ends witb a screwdriver like you did and then use a steel rod or a sharpie to push out tight rolls like that if you want to save the wrap. from my experience it works, just dont push too hard or the wrapper could spin out and become loose if ya wanna save em

    I recently picked up two rolls of what I would consider those scammy eBay "unsearched by me rolls" with an Indian head cent ender. I got them for VERY cheap from my LCS Whatnot show. I was pleasantly surprised with the contents. A ton of steel cents, the IHC enders of course, and most surprisingly there were a pretty decent number of pennies in the teens. I had never seen pennies that old. A cherry on top was a steel cent with a massive die crack through nearly the entire coin. I doubt I would have bought these unless I got them for as cheap as I did.

  • @spooderdoggy
    @spooderdoggy День тому +2

    Rob, I think both are real older rolls. There was too many goodies, even oldies. Also, that both looked old. Finally, I bought so-called “unsearched rolls” on eBay. They don’t come that loaded with early dates like these rolls. Yeah, it’s close but I see the needle barely on the genuine side of the scale. One doesn’t hit the jackpot on original rolls every time anyhow. So, it all comes down to just making a decision not to be a cynical person like so many are. 🤔✝️🏆🇺🇸

    I would want to know how and where stored since I have gotten old rolls and usually see if roll from 1956 there should be more 50s looking new. My rolls were many from last dates new 1969 to 1972 while older not as many wheaties although few with great appeal. But still good rolls.

    "Could these two wheat cent rolls really be unsearched?"
    Unless they're from before 1920 or so, assume the answer is always no.
    Even in 1946 a 09-S VDB was going for about $8 in Fine ($129 in today's money, so you beat inflation with a tire iron if you invested).
    The search was pretty good though.

    I'm a skeptic. My thinking is the 1910's & 20's coins should be in better shape if they were wrapped in the 50's. They look like the ones you occasionally get today with a 100 years of wear rather than 30 to 40 years. Also would think there would be more shinny 50's. I could be wrong.

    Great video as always Rob, nice job!.......but as an avid collector of OBW rolls (I currently have approximately 650 rolls of all denominations from 1935 to 1959) I can tell you with absolute certainty that these are recently rolled coins.....That style/font on that roll is not right and made to look old with the blotchy ink, an arcade name, etc. and remember, all rolls are color coded red/maroon for cent, blue for nickel, green for dimes, orange for quarters and tan/brown for halves......

  • @c.tedbarber4140
    @c.tedbarber4140 День тому +9

    Nice rolls with a nice mix of cents but if these were wrapped in the late 1950's why weren't there more internal marks on the inside of the paper? Also why weren't there a whole bunch of coins in the 40's and 50's (and even in the 30's) that were either red or red/brown? I honestly think someone came across some old wrapping paper stock and made these up recently. Still if they were all like this they could get $10-12/ roll. Buy the coins not the story.

      You do realize there are only a handful of those coins known to exist, right?? The odds of finding another one are pretty much nil.

      I would rather drink the coins than Flint water.

    These are more modern. The '50s coins are too circulated, with no BU red examples

    Those 1943 steel cents are huge money, and the 1944 if it sticks to a magnet is huge! The 1955 could be a DDO. Those indian heads are huge!!! Check NCG charts.

      No 43 steelies are NOT “huge money “. 🙄🙄🙄🙄. Honestly, some of you commenters really need to do your homework and actually LEARN something 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
