Do not buy anything like that, it is an old trick to make you think there are good coins in the roll and there are not no good coins in the roll,all junk and you better believe it, i bought a roll one time off a guy that did the same thing and i only did it to prove a point and gave the guy a negative feedback and reported him to eBay for false advertising and deception. i do this a lot by the way to get rid of these no good sellers that are ripping people off and taking there hard earned money. This is a no good auction of coins and people fall for it all the time.
the lesson learned here is never buy something that is made out to look good because it is not, anything that seems good is not good at all.
They plant the coin on the end and then usually put in coins from the 40s and 50s. I had a guy contact me unsolicited on Ebay a few years ago asking if I wanted to buy some rolls with a Mercury dime on the end. I traced his feedback and recent purchases and saw the cheap dimes and Lincolns he had been buying up and called him out on it after I reported the scam to my rep there.
Q: Has anyone ever wondered about this type of auction..?
"UNSEARCHED ROLL OF WHEAT CENTS WITH INDIAN HEADS CENTS SHOWING ON EACH SIDE."
How could the seller know that roll is full of wheats..?

Because he fills the rolls with wheats right after the auction is done.
And he will adjust the contents of the roll depending on the final auction price. The higher the final price, the more 'goodies' he will put in the roll to justify that final price.
But whatever coins you find in the roll, their total numismatic value will never be higher than the final bid price.
Most typical are two type coins on the end (usually silver or an IHC), one obverse up and reverse up. Usually the obverse up one is nothing special but the reverse up one could be a VDB, or an S if it's an IHC, or even a D for Merc. Something associated with a key date. The 48 "fillers" are all crap. Best case scenario is you'd end up with a 1908-S IHC, but don't bet on it.
