Always wanted to buy a short roll myself. One day I will. I look forward to seeing what you find.

Finally got them today and it was as I expected it to be but just had to do it one time.
Common date/mm, bag marks but uncirculated. The list is as follows:

1-1881S
1-1885P
2-1885O
2-1886P
1-1889P
1-1896P
1-1901O
1-1904O

I'll get to VAMming now!

Let's just say, more than I could ever get out of them, regardless of what I find. Something fun and expensive that I wanted to try and now I have.

Was only asking to help future buyers not make the same mistake..

There are a few ebay seller's who do this for a living..

Offer uncirculated rolls, for what seems an ok price. But 99% of these rolls are recently made, Not old original rolls, if there is no toning on the outside coins, they haven't been sitting around for 50 years..

These are put together by the seller to maximize profits..

There is no doubt that it was put together but the seller did not do anything wrong in the way they presented it, just me hoping for something better than what I knew I would get. An expensive way for me to get back into VAMming.

"Original Rolls"? I thought Morgan dollars were kept in bags at the bank, never in rolls.

I at least found a Top 100. I remember finding a few of these in my past VAMming, so not a rare find, by any means but I'll take it.

1896-P VAM-19

I beat this one around for quite some time this evening and keep coming back to VAM-3. I think it's actually between 3 and 3A. I thought there was doubling on LIBERTY too but think its just deterioration.

1889-P VAM-3 Doubled 18-9, and Ear.
