Is This A Counterfeit Listing On The Bay? Roll Of Morgan Dollars

Yeah, I just happened to see it browsing the new listings, I'm not interested in buying it but it stuck out to me....

We see these "put together" rolls from time to time. As Judy Judy says, "Stupidity is no defense." Probably a roll of Morgans, with one CC on the end, and that's about it.

Seller says, "Roll was not opened by me." hilarious

.....yeah, not since he made it.

"Seller does not accept returns" is enough for me to take a pass.

The rough edges of the paper wrapper is done with a brush or wire brush simulating it was done from being so old.
don't fall for it. just another put together roll of common dates and grades.

strange

There are a few dealers that may still have rolls that are from the 1920's as Super Dave said, they didn't roll coins back when these were released, they came in bags of $1000. Leon Henderson of Silvertowne, comes to mind as does Larry Shapiro, John Highfill, among a few that "might" still have a few old rolls, but believe me they have been oped and looked at. No dealer in his right mind is not going to want to know what he or she is selling before asking a price, a dealer isn't in the business to give away money. If the roll was all BU 1885-CC and a few PL's or DMPLs mixed in, it would be worth it's weight in gold - literally!

I got to buy dollars from the Continental Bank hoard (didn't find out for a couple of years where they came from) but the dealers back then didn't even have those rolled up, just in 2x2 flips in double row boxes, by price. There were some rolls available but they were plastic tubes put together as the low end coins from the hoard. To give you an idea just how many silver dollars they were slowly releasing into the dealers hands back in the early 1980's it was 1.5 million silver dollars give or take a few thousand.

And from Q. David Bowers Silver Dollar Encyclopedia two volume set:

be sure to click next page and read about how they dispersed them unknown into the collecting community with no real issues - all coins being rapidly absorbed and not dropping the price. When I first saw and had a chance to buy I remember the wholesale dealer I knew had 40 double row boxes of all nice unc. Morgan's, I'd say they ranged in condition from MS61 to MS66+ many of them were PL and DMPL. (Over time he probably had 4 to 5 thousand).

I bought a few very choice 1883-O, 1884-O, DMPLs I'd guess they were 66+ or 67 by today's standards, and a dozen nice PL CC and S dollars. There is no way would any dealer not want to look into the rolls being sold here and miss out on coins like that being stuck in it. When I put those dollars out in my trays at the local monthly coin show, I had priced them at $425.00 each, now normal PL's sold for around $40.00 back then maybe $50 OR $75 in 1982 for really choice coins, people thought I was nuts, after the first day at the show, I thought I was nuts, until a gentleman came by took a very close look at them and offered me a trade of a Saint Gaudens (about MS63, we didn't really use numerical grades then it was Unc., Brilliant Unc., Choice Unc and Superb Unc.) for every two of my choice DMPL dollars I had. I recall the $20 Saints were worth around $700-800, so a very fair trade. I got a few Saints for my inventory, my first real good looking gold. I think I ended up with 6 or 8 Saints in the deal. If I could go back I would love to have held onto a few of those DMPL New Orleans dollars, I've never seen any that surpass them at a reasonable price.
