Does this listing seem strange?

All the feedback consists of 3 of the same people?

Seems sketchy to me.

Looks like a shill set up possibly. Would not bother as simplest thing is the auction is carnie barked. Besides, 40% or 90% coins on end of roll in multiple auctions? And that happens how often for roll searchers who get their boxes from banks? Seller, if in the locale where they purport to be from on the Ebay ID text, may be showing their hand of a silver vein?

This reeks of sketchy. Run away from auctions like that! He is rolling his own but you will be the one burnt if if bid on it!

Yep. With shipping you will pay between $30.00 and $40.00 for a roll with ONE 40%er in it and 19 clad halves that will have a value of about $13.50

it would be interesting (if someone was really bored) to review the finished listings for similar items and see if the nonwinning bidders were repeatedly the same characters... shilling the bids higher and then dropping out and dumping it on unsuspecting "winners"

I know someone that puts all ender rolls aside w/o opening them. His plan is to ebay them like this. Not saying that this guy is legit, but not everyone is a dishonest crook.

Not everyone is a dishonest crook, but the great majority of people selling rolls of unsearched coins with special ones on the ends are.

None, you should go buy some of those rolls. Tell me how it turns out. :roll:

I will admit, I have bought a couple of these types of rolls in the past. Once, I did get a really neat roll, with two other silver coins and five more Indians in it, the other times........not so much. It is like gambling, you have to expect to lose and just enjoy he chase/hunt.

If I EVER saw silver on the end of a roll I'd be opening the roll, not putting it up on eBay. No one lacks enough curiosity to resist opening the roll.

I get enders so often that the novelty wears off pretty quick. When I get a box where I open it and see 10 enders, now that's a different story. :D
