We don't have a comedy forum here. But good luck anyway.

Go for it... The most you could be out is $11.49... I love this quote though, "These rolls are completely unsearched and professionally wrapped!"

So a professional was wrapping them, but made sure to take no notice at all at the coins that were passing right before his eyes?

The seller is being paid to stack the deck on these pennies, wrap, and sell them. That's makes them professionally wrapped!

Yeah, I really don't understand how they can be "professionally rapped" I think he is referring to be rapped by a bank machine of some sort. Well, I guess we'll see how it goes.

I've always been tempted to buy one of these. Resisted so far. Let us know how it goes.

I guess that's why they call him a professional ;)

I just got back from vacation. In a rural town diner, they had a bubble gum type vending machine where you put two quarters in and get a collectible coin. They had pictures of all the old US silver small coins and copper ones on it that you could win. Also, you could win a foreign coin. Me being somewhat intrigued, thought, sure, maybe I'll be lucky and get a Mercury dime for 50 cents. Nope, got a 1987 Brasil coin, probably worth a cent at best. Lesson is, I bet they loaded that vending machine with all the foreign coins and probably have 1 Mercury dime and 1 war nickel and 1 steel 1945 Lincoln cent in the whole thing. So, when I see these Ebay auctions, I think the seller knows carefully enough to not let go anything worth anything much in the rolls. You get a roll with an Indian Head cent or two and a bunch of common date wheaties. I fell for it with the vending machine. I guess I got a little souvenir of my trip at best.
