Warning This will make you mad

I bought wheat cent rolls from eBay seller http://www.ebay.com/usr/mygrandfatherstreasurestash and when I go to open it they were all filled with late wheat cents from the 1940s and 1950s. They were hand filled made to look like it's professionally rolled. I wasted a lot of money, very disappointed. I'm very mad. It's like I take your money and send you a much of late wheat cents in bad rolls. It's like  a smack to the face after getting robbed in my opinion

And that's why I've never bought from eBay!

I've bought coins from eBay, mostly foreigns for my birth year set where circulated condition is just fine, or mid-range slabbed Ikes.  I don't think I would buy a really high-value coin over eBay, I'd want to see it in hand before pulling out my wallet — and I have trouble believing wheat rolls are really 'unsearched'.

Unfortunately that's very common when buying shotgun penny rolls on eBay. They bait the roll with a single IHP and the rest are 1940+ wheaties. I have had some luck on eBay though. I did get a 1909 and a 1909 VDB in two separate rolls. 

Any suggestions on where to get better quality penny rolls for a decent price? I'm always looking.

exactly. that's right up there with "the IRS is here to help you" and "the great pumpkin is on the way!"
