I'm surprised he not saying, "There could even be a 1895-P uncirculated in these rolls."  Edited by DoubleEagle20

If you look at the seller's completed sales, two of these Morgan bank rolls have sold since 11/2 for fabulous amounts. Yet the seller's feedback history doesn't show any Morgan bank rolls at all.

If you check his feedback, he seems to be doing quite well selling 10 rolls of common half dollars for $11.99 and more plus shipping!
Do those buyers not have banks where they live?

Morgans did not come in rolls. They came in bags, which is why the small scuffs on them are referred to as "bag marks" or people say the coin is kind of "baggy".

I purchased an "original" roll of Morgans a while back for $1200. The dealer was honest about what they were and they were labeled "Williams Silver Dollars, August 1956." The dealer said he bought them off Williams son, who believes they are a roll of 1881-S Morgans and I believe that is correct from the end coins, which are only lightly toned around the rims.

I smell a rat...the runner up has 43% of his bids with this seller, and the winner has 17%. Something tells me no money will be taking place now that this auction has ended.

I agree that they are shilling and trying to get a big fish to pony up. Shills rarely leave feedback for each other. I'm surprised that ebay doesn't get involved more. Especially when the high dollar transactions frequently get cancelled and fees are refunded. That has to raise a big red flag. |

The absence of feedback on the Morgan rolls is a pretty strong indicator. It looks like the same roll has been "sold" multiple times.
The feedback for the other sales is also interesting. Very rarely does a buyer find a 40% or 90% silver half in their old bank roll searches. They don't downvote - they took a chance and had some fun - and the seller doesn't ever send them a bonanza roll.
I'm familiar with tourist gem mines that work on a similar principle.
