Buying Rolls Of Morgan Dollars On Ebay?

I don't know about those. I think all unsearched rolls have been searched before, just not by the person selling them necessarily.

Don't. Do. It.

Don't even think about doing it.

There used to be a youtube video of opening one of these ebay "bank" rolls. I remember the guy's words "Come on, be a cc" as he turned over an 1885, and of course it wasn't.

Even if it were a real bank roll, what would be the chances of a cc? The mint held back huge numbers, over 50% of the issue for some dates. For me, seeing a cc on the end of a roll is indisputable proof that the roll is not original.

Investors are nervous about the stock market so these guys trot out the dog and pony show about getting rich with rare coins etc. How many here have gotten rich with collecting, trading or investing in coins? Even if you do make a considerable profit on coins from what I can tell you need to hold onto them for 20 years and then it is a gamble just like all investments. When someone is selling bags or rolls of a very collectable coin I would be suspicious. Many, many coin collectors as well as speculators buy CC Morgans.

These rolls are from the same guy who sells the infamous jars of coins.

The rolls usually have one or two teaser coins for the ends, the rest is 1921 or other common dates in wildly varying conditions, often with problems.

Morgans were bagged, true, but they were available in rolls created by dealers well into the 50s and 60s. Dealers would break bags down and resell as date rolls of the same date/MM. Almost all of those have long since been broken up and dispersed, I cannot honestly say that in 20+ years of collecting I have ever seen one of those original dealer rolls.

Buying rolls of anything on ebay is a bad idea unless it's single-date, BU rolls with explicitly stated dates and MM's and good photos. These idiot scammers famous for the Wheat cent "unsearched" fiasco are now putting everything from ancient coins to silver bars as end pieces on their "unsearched" rolls. What a joke.

There's an art to making these rolls. Every roll I've ever made has the paper folded in on the ends, but that won't do for this mischief. You need an end crimper so that you can show the coin you're pimping. This will cost you under $10 on ebay.

The next step is to get coin wrappers that look old. If you don't want to take the time to give them the mud puddle treatment yourself, you can get them on the no-no site. I've seen the highly desirable Bullion and Exchange Bank of Carson City wrappers offered there, along with plenty of very inexpensive counterfeit dollars to make up your roll.

These rolls are sold with no returns for a very good reason, and it's not the one the seller gives you. Any fraud is between you and Paypal to negotiate.

Depends what you mean by "real". It could very well likely contain all genuine Morgan dollars, yes. But if you're asking if your roll of Morgan dollars came from a bank, then no it certainly did not.
