The $38 current bid price sounds cheap - doesn't it?

Scroll down and read the red bold print bottom paragraph.

These guys must lay awake at night thinking this stuff up. Yes technically everything he said is true. But most people are going to just read the heading and see a "roll" of silver war nickels for well less than a roll of war nickels should be selling for and bid on it.

They won't read the "fine" print and see that he is actually selling little baby 1/2 rolls.

Yup not as bad as I thought- Everything is legit.

But the use of Roll is risky and is meant to deceive. If a good honest seller wanted to sell a $1 roll they would say a lot of 20 coins, not a misleading mini-roll.

Wonder if the buyer is going to ticked off, file a claim, and would win?
