eBay Penny Rolls Online Purchase - S Mint Indian Head Cent Ender!

- Are online "unsearched" wheat penny rolls a good bargain? How about Penny Rolls with GREAT end coins?
In this video I purchased a roll of pennies that a seller from eBay inherited from their mother's estate. I noticed they had good feedback, were a trusted seller and made no claims to anything other than what you see as the end coins - One was an 1867 Indian Head Cent and the other was an S Mint Indian Head Cent!
Let me know what you think about online rolls and if you have ever had success or felt like you'd been ripped off...

Wow Id buy a roll like that!!! So many scammers tho 😔
Hey rob idk if you will see my comment but I'm not completely sure cause that 1858 has corroded, but to me me it looks like an 1858/57 flying eagle cent.
I've never brought anything like that off ebay or anywhere else for that matter!
You showed your address!
RobFindsTreasure can you show your collection im new to collecting
Hey Rob. Cool opening! People have been selling rolls like this on eBay since I was a teenager. It's a huge market now.
As I'm sure you know, it's mostly fun and games, and risky to pay more than what the enders are worth.
The stories have been the same for the last 15 years. lol
Also, for the Indian heads, there are some other variables which can increase the grade. The liberty lettering is not conclusive (only a reference point). You actually sell yourself short on the grading. The feather tips (which I've found to be the most important factor), plus the lines in the shield, arrows, and the ridges around the rim come into play when giving it an overall. If you sent the 1867 in for grading, I would honestly be surprised if it came back lower than F-12. And would guarantee not less than VG-10. On some of the older bronze indian heads (pre 1886 type 2) they wore down slightly different. You can even have coins that have a couple of the middle liberty letters not 100% clear and still grade in the VF range. It just depends on the feathers and some of the other details. I need to do a video on indian heads. They're one of my favorite coins in higher grades (I especially love the older ones) and it's the type of coin I've traded the most during my collecting years. I used to buy tons of dark and damaged semi-key dates with XF-AU details and flip them slowly over time for 200-500%+ profits. I've even resold environmentally damaged metal detector finds on ebay that just needed better pictures to show the hiding details. :)
Hey Nice hunt brother...Dang that was well worth the price, how much did you say again? Also, I missed the sellers name? LOL... I love hunting wheaties, I just recently paid 45 dollars for about 12 lb.s of wheaties (local estate auction) and did well. 1 1909VDB, 5-1909 some 1929, 1930, 31, 33 BUs. I probably had 2 lbs of teens, 2 lbs of 20's, about 2 rolls of 30's and all the rest were 1940s and 50s. But had some really nice coins that made my wheatie album much fuller and prettier. But I am really hurting for early S mints. Nice video and as always Happy Hunting brother.
I've seen people selling rolls of Morgan Silver Dollars with cc enders and people pay over a thousand dollars for the rolls. I've heard stories that some people will put a few good in rolls and trick people. I've also heard that some people have found really good coins.
Ok
Who do you trust for coin hunts to buy from Rob. Or currency hunts..
That's great that the seller's mother just happened to put the S-mint Indian cent on one end, with the reverse showing, and the 1867 with the obverse showing on the other end. What a coincidence.
Hi , I been looking to fill my collection, found the same vendor, ordered 4 rolls, 2 rolls had 2 Indian head pennies, both ends, and 3 within. The same for the last 2 , one roll had 4 within and 2 ender's. Was very happy with shipment overall. Love your videos, I'm learning new things from them, thank you and bless you.
Amazing little roll.
To think about the stories behind all these coins and the pockets they have been in.
Nearly 100 years between the oldest and newest.
Quite a lot of history right there.
I think that he did very well on that roll. I enjoyed watching him explore the roll. Fully enjoyable. That’s Rob !😊
Thank you!
I was bidding on the same roll. Nice to see what came out of it. Solid roll
Fun to see what treasures may come out of a roll. 👍 Thanks, Rob 🤓🙏
awesome roll you snagged there Rob! I love the flying eagles! 👍🏽🔥🐉
I enjoy your videos! My Dad got me semi into coin collecting, mostly wheat backs, silver and old nickels. I'm currently active duty AF and was stationed in Guam 2006-2009. I found more old coins there than I ever have! I wish I paid more attention or at least tried to search more, but it's a small hobby of mine. Thanks again for the cool videos!!!
Rob, I was pulling for that 1909 S, still a great roll at any rate, that's for sure. Can't be mad with the Flying Eagle, 1867, 1908 S, all those Indian Heads, and some quality older wheat cents. Good find IMO. That was a fun watch!
That was one of my favorite videos that you put out!! So much fun to watch!!!
I'm glad you said it was probably a break even roll, because I was going to say it was so worth it even if you paid a little more than the value! Pay to play, but you got your money's worth for sure!!
AWESOME!!!!
Have a GREAT Day!!!!!!
I would have laughed if the rest of the roll was just 2019 D.
I would have cried!
@@RobFindsTreasure aw gee, now I kinda feel bad.
@@RobFindsTreasure I guess karma decide to pull some irony. Went to my bank to get a penny box. ALL 2019 D.

Absolutely LOVED this vid!! Thank you Rob for sharing!!
I was hoping you'd get the '09.
Really exciting roll with lots of nice goodies
Dude that person is insane! True to his word and alot more specials in it
Just got my nickel mat and my penny mat in today, absolutely *stunning* quality! Really super impressed, thank you for the amazing quality and relatively fast ship time! Can't wait to use them!
Where did u go to buy them
Benjamin Fuller robs store, linked in description
Beautiful roll! I've never seen a flying eagle and I don't own any Indian heads. I would be ecstatic with these! Love it.
If you go to a coin show in your area you would probably be able to buy common Indian Head Cents (1901-1907) for a buck apiece. They'll be G4, or so, but are still attractive coins.
I have found two Indian heads coin roll hunting so far.
Fun hunt!!!! Congratulations on the Indian Head finds. Never bought any rolls from eBay before, I'll give it a try, thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing that hunt, your far more trusting than me, lol, but it seemed to work out fairly well & made some very enjoyable content!
I’d like to see a video about each coin and how much you can sell them for. Idk I’m just really interested to see how much a penny could go for
Rob have you ever tried a bag of silver search? I got a $25 dollar face bag from apmex 16 dated mercury dimes, 3 slick mercs, 2 proof 64's and many 40'S and 50'S mixed mint and about half were 1964's.
Hey Rob. Do you believe that a flying eagle (1 Cent) coin still can be found in a circulating wraps?
I have never found one but I think it would be possible, although highly unlikely.
The head feathers are a much better place to look when dealing with Indian head cents Rob. The liberty band is a good reference point but the feathers are where the high points are located
Hey Rob, how much did you pay for this roll if you don’t mind answering?
I saw the ebay listing it was 217 dollars
Robert Ostroff wow that’s a lot more than I thought it would go for
@@sostroff30 and how much do you think all of these would be worth?
+matt schwope It's worth less than $217, for sure, but the seller was smart enough to throw in some decent CNs and early Wheats. They're not worth that much, but it makes the roll look better. I think most sellers would put nothing but 40s and 50s Wheats in the middle of the roll. That 1908-S is awfully marked up, even for its relatively low grade. I wouldn't buy it unless it was going for like $30 or something, but I'm awfully picky on condition.
Awesome pick up brother. Love them penny hunts. Thank you for sharing with us. Just beautiful 😍😍😍
I am so happy you bought that roll Rob. What a find. 👍🤗
S mint mark ender too cool.. wow nice finds senor! You got legit rolls as most of the Indian head ender rolls only have the ender and a bunch of crap coins to follow lol
Great vid, enjoyed watching you search the roll. Also, how much did you pay for the roll?
Interesting, I enjoyed the video and hope you make more like this.
The Indian cent is cool and fun to find. Love the info in this video. Thanks
@RFT, the 1860's indians are actually much higher grade they you think. The 1860's indians were plauged by poor strikes and with the exception of the 1867 were all VF25 or above. The 1908'S I'd grade at XF40. The bluebook grading guide is very poor because it doesn't consider die state, or quality of strike. For indians, pay particulae attention to the feathers in the headress. Yours have partial diamonds with signifigant detail remaining. Furthermore, on the 1861 it had two reverse retained cuds (RCD). Not trying to be cynical. I started working at an LCS and picked up on a lot of this stuff. IMO the 1867 is F-15, not G-VG.
The end looked opened... and you broke even.. probably just a coincidence lol
Cool video always fun to see the coin that made me start collecting (1919 s)
The 1867 looks like it could be a counterfeit. Have it checked out. First thing you can do yourself is weigh it an see if it is within tolerable limits.
Sure gets the heart pounding when you pull out a copper-colored 1943, huh? I don't think I trust that any rolls are unsearched, so I've only bought some in the past just to get some more wheats for my collection.
I'd also like to say that Flying Eagle was a nice surprise, although I never cared for that design. It makes me think of a pelican.
Hey rob. just found and started watching your channel. absolutely great vidoes. been watching a lot of yours. gotta say your my new favorite coin hunter. iv subbed. and il be sure to share your channel with my familly and friends.
I have bought some "unsearched" penny rolls on Ebay before and I have not been THRILLED. I have been happy since I know there is no such thing as an Unsearched roll. Someone somewhen searched them. Still, nice get Rob.
Wow really amazing unboxing reviews!!! :D
Awesome video! Way better finds than I expected.
I have been buying and selling coins most of my life and was guessing what you thought the grade and value as you when along. Your estimints where and mine where very close to each others. Great job. One of my best finds is a 1913 S type 2 Buffalo nickel which filled out my set.
ESTIMATES WERE!
Hey rob I’m looking forward to getting a box of halves.. is it worth it??
Every box tells a story - some great, some good, most bad - but when you get the great boxes - it makes it all worth it.
It's always worth it....if you only pay 50 cents each coin, lol
My first box of halves was all clad. I got one NIFC
If your willing to dump $500 on a box upfront
@@Noble4Truths And if your time has no value. And if your bank doesn't get fed up with you returning huge amounts of coins.
Great video. Those are some really nice finds. Those pennies look awesome. Keep doing what you are doing and have a great and blessed day.
A very unusual roll. I'm sure you are happy with your new found treasures. I would be. Well done RFT.
Amazing roll! Can't complain with 9 IHC and a FE when the roll only guaranteed 2 IHCs
That 1858 Eagle looks to be a 58 over 57. Better check it carefully.
wow what a good find, you did good, waiting for the next hunt
Man the 1867 and 1908 are beautiful coins, incredible addition to the collecion!!!
One day in like 60 years I hope to find where your great grand kids take your coins to a bank
Oof

At 7:16, I think I see some doubling. Look towards the serif on the "C"
I think it’s just corrosion wear
Thats awesome, love the Indian head pennies. Congrats on the hunt.
you know you like flying eagles! too bad that wasn't a 1926 S, my daughter still reminds me that she found one about once a week. Those IHP were incredible. Thanks for sharing this, one of your old ebay wheat penny roll videos motivated me to order some myself. I'm hoping to open them over labor day :-)
More in line with my own coin buying. Well, here lately I have only been buying graded coins, and I usually only buy from dealers. Either way, I love these guys. Put them in an EOS so I can win them.
Hey Rob by all accounts that was a pretty darn good penny roll always great to see Indian head pennies and that was the first flying eagle I've ever seen absolutely fantastic thank you for sharing that with us keep up the great work 👍🇬🇧
Rob. what settings do you have on your microscope because I am trying to make my settings match yours so I can get the best picture.
Not sure how I missed this video. Congrats on the finds.
I bought a couple rolls for cheap that claimed unsearched. well ok. was underwhelmed to say the least. Now I found a seller that says she has hundreds from a collector's estate that rolled em up before he passed. she said she found many empty coin albums. she also claimed she opened 3 rolls and got over twenty IH pennies from each, plus a bunch of nice nice wheaties. these rolls were not cheap. I will let you know how it goes when I get them next week
I'm still cheering for another Indian or a Flying Eagle! I think overall it was a good roll especially that FLE cent and the 1908 S IHP but a 1909 S would have been pretty cool. And also all those Indians and older ones too, plus those older wheats!
One problem when you go about pricing those coins is that's a very high end estimate and 2 that's for problem free coins. That 1861 looks like it's been cleaned. Also that 19 0 8 is definitely cleaned. Unfortunately in that condition it isn't worth anywhere close to that number. Actually picked up an XF in that year that was barely cleaned NGC graded for 55 bucks
I've bought a lot of nice roll enders on ebay....be careful. I'd be happy with what you got (sounds like you are), but for everyone else out there...listen up. When buying these rolls, you are bidding on the enders only! You can expect dog crap in between....maybe a nice shiny with an unattractive scratch. If they are enders with just nice reverse showing (wheat's) expect those to be both 1958 and lots of garbage in between. You can catch some nice coins...but remember, you're bidding on the ends only.
Civil War era coins found, WOW!
What a cool roll! I actually had my eye on that eBay sale when it was listed. Glad I got to see what all was in it!
Rob I got my first coins coming from on line in a few days I am excited one group is from an estate sale currency is supposed to be coming to with blue seals I hope they are ligit and not a liar.
What did u pay at the end you said you "broke even" but i would like to know a good price to pay
Derrick D I think he paid 217, if u pause correctly u can see on the computer screen
Derrick D do not buy eBay “unsearched” rolls, please. Most of the time they are scams designed to prey on new coin collectors
Great video! Indian heads are pretty sweet. I subbed ya today.
Okay I know this is REALLY of topic but I am looking into buying a red seal 2 dollar bill (1953) and was wondering what do you figure to be a good price ?
I’m jealous 😂! Great video as always and it seems like you always find the best eBay stuff. How do you do it cause I only find scams and all that Jazz. Thanks for the great video and happy hunting!!
I wonder if they tracked who you were and saw you had a decent following so they juiced the contents up a bit. That would explain the different ends than they had in the posting.
Good point! Looking at their completed auctions, almost every roll has desirable enders on both ends. Why aren't any of the enders more common wheat pennies? What are the chances that every roll they sell has great enders by accident?
Zero percent. The story doesn’t even check out. Clearly this person’s “mother” thought that 40s and 50s wheats should be saved. Why then is there not a majority of these dates? They are the most common. If she was randomly filling up rolls, then the most recent and plentiful coins should be in there. And if she was supposedly pulling these out of circulation from the bank a long time ago, shouldn’t the younger wheats look uncirculated? If it is too good to be true, it probably isn’t. Rob just got the upgrade pack.
Sweet I'm going shop e-bay very cool you made out on your purchase
do you sell most of the coins that don't go into your albums or do you hold onto them.
1858 is either small/large letters or the 8/7 and the 1863 is copper nickel
Where did you get that Lincoln mat you use? Also what microscope are you using?
Silvershark he designs the mats then sells them.
Fun to watch you open one of those... no doubt the seller could have put together a much worse roll than that. A Flying Eagle Cent and a couple Copper Nickel Indian Cents are pretty cool.
Kind of odd that all the 50's looked so worn but there were no memorial cents and many of the IHC looked equally worn, not worse. Did the seller know you or that you would video the hunt on UA-cam? If (s)he did, the loose ends of the roll might have been because the flying eagle and the 1861 were added.
It's not that you were foolish to buy a "S IHC" ender. I've done the same thing twice. Also the vdb cent and 1916 dime enders. I do have all three coins, but had to buy the 1909 S vbd and 1909 S IHC on eBay and I inherited the 16 D from my grandfather.
Still, it is fun to look.
Good grief, Rob. How much did you pay for this complete collection?
A lot, but it was a fun hunt.
Nice!! How much did ya spend on it?
My wife asked the same thing and I am pleading the 5th - LOL.
Rob I am new to your channel and have never "coin hunted" how do I get started? do I just go to a bank and ask for coins? sort through them and take them back for new ones? please help seems like it could be fun. ps I live in the middle of nowhere sand hills, but we do have a couple banks in my town. biggest being Wells Fargo and Bank of the West. Thanks
Hey rob first off AWESOME FLYING EAGLE CENT!! And ihc’s I love this type of video hope you make another one soon your awesome 😎
It always seems a little suspicious (or a lot suspicious) when you search an eBay roll and the two best coins are the enders. It could be COINcidence, but the mathematical odds are very low. The odds of one of the two best coins being at one of the ends is 4 in 50, as there are two best coins and two end positions in a 50-coin roll. The odds of the other best coin being at the other end are 1 in 49, as there are 49 remaining places in the roll for the second coin to be. Calculated together, the odds of both best coins being at each end are 1 in 612. Hopefully I didn't screw up those statistics too badly. Regardless, you can see how low the odds are.
The reality is that many of the eBay rolls are "rearranged," if not also cherry-picked. Sellers will put premium coins at the ends to maximize the bids, but still leave a few decent finds in the middle of the roll to keep the buyer from being totally disappointed. Looking at this eBay seller's past auctions, most of the penny rolls had desirable Indian heads or flying eagles on the ends... with very few (if any) having more ordinary wheaties on either of the ends. (In contrast, note how many ordinary wheaties were in the middle of Rob's roll.) The couple of auctions that do show a Lincoln penny are ones with keys dates, including one that is a 1909-S. (Can you really believe a seller would see a 1909-S ender and NOT pop open the roll to check the reverse for the VDB?) If these rolls haven't been rearranged, where are the rolls with more common wheaties on one of the ends? What are the odds that nearly every roll in this collection has desirable coins at both ends? Sure, the seller's Mom could have been a VERY discriminating coin collector, but did she really pass over a roll with a flying eagle on one end just because the other end only had a common wheatie? Seems pretty unlikely!
I'm glad Rob was happy with his purchase, which is all that matters. But he purchased wisely, basing his bid on what he could see. Less educated buyers could easily overspend based on the enders they see, assuming the rest of the roll is equally good.
Sellers just put tempting coins on the ends for the pictures. The actual roll you get will be filled with coins that reflect the value of the final high bid. The sellers want to keep the buyers happy while moving coins that are difficult to sell individually. They are not going to lose money and that means the buyer is not going to find a rare and expensive coin. This is just a marketing ploy. There is no such thing as an unsearched roll. The tales that the sellers tell about getting the rolls from their grandmother or a bank manager are just yarns that no one will ever be able to verify.
Only pay for what you can see; some rolls may be simply more profitable to sell than to crack open(read as some morgan dollar rolls), but most are scams
I was surprised to see the flying eagle cent. I was also worried if they’re were zinc pennies in the middle
How do I know which pennies are copper and what do I do with them when I have them. Thanks
Hey rob I think that 1926 was actually a 1920 Kinda looks like it curves all the way round to form a 0
Edit: 11:13
It really makes you curious what a box could truly be like if people who collected like this dumped their collection.
I know... We can dream and hunt!
I’m confused 1943 D should be steel right?
Hey rob I know this is completely irrelevant but do you own a Rolex wrist watch
I have an old un-working one.
Cool you should try and get it fixed
I was expecting worse, so I guess just over 4/coin wasn't terrible for that roll. Would love to see something like a 5 roll average on that sellers rolls.
its so weird seeing a 1858 flying eagle and a 1956 wheat cent right next to eachother! 100 years of history right there
Cool purchase and unboxing! IHP is a lovely design.
Flying eagle was sweet... And you got way more indian heads than i would have expected.. I have bought those type of rolls on ebay before.. Got 1good roll once.. The rest were clearly tampered with and aside from the indian enders... Contained all 1956 to 1958 wheats😂 but we still try... I would say that seller seemed legit... Even your wheats were alot of pre 40s.
I've noticed you do these eBay deals to see if they're good I just found out that Etsy has stuff like this on their website I didn't know if you could do something like you do with eBay with Etsy

Glad you wore gloves man. There was a lot of grime coming from that roll.
It would be nice to be able to get a roll like that. Great coins man!
The oldest penny I got 1859 but it made of bronze not copper i found in a bag of world coins off ebay in UK.
Very cool finds Rob👍🏻👍🏻 I think it was a good buy💥💥
Wow, how the heck did you do that, and where do you go to find those roles?
Ebay
A penny for 125 dollars!love it!
Rolls like these would be great for people trying to fill books that don’t have many old coins in there books already just to fill it or good for people in areas like mine where it’s impossible to find wheat cents
Is it just me or did I see some die cracks on the top of the reverse on the 1861?
The fatty with detail is nice. But that flying eagle! **gasp** that'll make any box hunter gelly.
Here's to a future boxfull like that roll.
