Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2013 5:25 amI'm suspicious myself... not of the roll, but of the amount of the bids. When the identity is protected like that, how simple would it be to shill bid it up???

Let's see where Roll #00001 ends up
Thanks for the help, Joe. You better not let Franklin see those...he'll be asking for one.

Funny story - it was a local buddy of mine who sold that roll to that seller.
He didn't check the serial numbers (it was a large lot) and sold it to him for 20 bucks a roll!
Needless to say, he is extrememly upset at his mistake.

Posted: Fri Apr 05, 2013 7:01 pmmost rolls are only bringing in $40-$50.00, which is still high for $0.50 worth of pennies.
