I'm relatively new to this site, and I didn't read all the post, way too many. What is all the hoopla about, the seller or the buyer? I'm thinking that what you see & can't see, is what you're getting? These are not as ridiculous as the supposedly unsearched shotgun bank rolls, these bidders are absolute idiots, and the sellers are nothing but crooks.

The two ploys really aren't all that different. How is it that much better if I'm selling a jar with an 1893 Morgan facing out and intimating that it might be an 1893-S, but no I haven't opened the jar to look, or if I'm selling a roll with a CC Morgan reverse showing on one end, and saying it could well be an 1889-CC, or implying the whole roll could be full of CC's, but I have no idea what's actually in this roll because it's "original bank wrapped"? Selling based upon a deceptive backstory is dishonest in either case.
I recently commented in another thread that somebody's bound to have the brilliant idea to offer a big jar full of Morgan rolls. The "double whammy" so to speak.

Yup, the easiest way to achieve that kind of coin layout would be to insert an empty paper towel/toilet paper roll into the jar; "Good" stuff gets dropped on the outside, cheap junk to fill up the inside.
I'll bet that's how they do it.

wow, and I thought jeffscoins was a reputable e-bay seller. someone with over 23,000 positive feedbacks selling these things is simply ridiculous. the ironic thing is I actually keep a bunch of pennies in a mason jar but they are all zincolns..

schris252 I think this is a new way for coin dealers to move their dead stock inventory. They have plenty of coins and bills on hand to fill these jars.
Most of us here like to choose our coins. These jars are full of the coins we have already passed over.

It's funny how in the description it says: Quote:
Nothing newer than 1964! So the year that they stopped hoarding just happened to be the last year the US struck circulating silver coins? |

Like who is going to stick valuable coins clanging together in a jar like that? All my coins are in books or mylar flips unless they are common and low grade or junk silver, then they are in plastic roll holders.

The jars are, in effect, makeshift time capsules. The sellers of these baited jars are playing to the curiosity of dreamy buyers, hungry to reel in a big catch.

The last one we've been watching (referenced just a few posts above) ended at $6,199. I honestly don't know what's left to say about such insanity.
