Unsearched Wheat Penny Roll with Indian on the end?

These will net you about 6 bucks on e-bay, 8-9 each gross.

I would feel "unclean" doing this. How can a roll of pennies be unsearched yet advertised as all wheat?

It is pretty funny. I don't feel sorry for those who buy these.

These people will win some obscure lottery, (which they never entered) and wire $2000 to Jamaica for processing fees.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

In my free time I've done this over the past couple of summers... if you have the time and need a couple extra bucks, it's worth the venture. I would average about $5-$6 a roll of profit. Don't worry, I'm moving on to greener pastures this summer(hopefully)

While it does make me feel a little dirty... are they(the buyers) seriously that blind? First off who in the world would put a dime(or 3 cent piece, or civil war token, or indian head, etc) on the end of a wheat penny roll?? especially one that was truly unsearched? Funny, I did put a couple rolls on ebay in which I bought a bin of wheat cents, and scooped them into rolls without ever looking at them. The buyers were never happy with them, lol.
