"I just received an email asking if I have a web site to or for this bank to prove it existed ? I did not have anything and I never looked thinking there would be no information to any and all banks in the US well back in them days anyway. So I looked around some .... But I did find where a person from Nevada said this quote Quote: The State Bank & Trust Company of Carson City was not established until 1903....It failed in 1907 I do not say or imply any warranty in any way shape or form for whether this is real bank roll or not." nice fine print there. why not edit out all the parts where he says it's a roll from the 1890's? fishy imo... exoguy, they could be planted there to entice people into buying an overpriced roll like people do with all the other unsearched rolls on ebay. |

I assume that this item is now in the hands of the buyer.
That being the case, I would try non destructive investigation, such as x-ray analysis.
A materials institute or department of a university may do it for a fee, or advise who may be able to.

I'm also not a fan of "unsearched rolls." I've bought 3 and was disappointed each time, so never again! However I never paid quite THAT much for one.

Does anyone really think the end of roll coins remained blast white since the 1890's?

That's exactly what I was thinking. Clean prooflike coins on the ends, highly unlikely.

Not to mention that bank never existed. This is a well-known scammer who has been doing it for years.

The "State Bank & Trust Company" of Carson City existed. The "Carson City State Trust Bank" (as labeled on the rolls) did not. That, in banking, is a hugely important distinction - the phraseology of the title was often rearranged for new banks as the only difference from others.
This seller/product has been talked about across fora for years.

Above all it is a GREAT CONVERSATION PIECE
I'd imagine the conversation would go something like this- "Did I ever tell you about the time I got totally taken on a roll of silver dollars?" |

If you read the guys feedback, being the one who is doing the sealing, he is getting some reviews from recent purchases.

I was watching one of his rolls just for SG. He does say that he wouldn't open the roll because its rarer and worth more intact. Unless I got it for ten dollars at my bank I would never buy it.
