I've been out of the VAM world for a few years now but got the bug a few days ago and did something very out of character for me. I bought a short roll off the bay and will probably be disappointed but could not help myself for some reason. I should have them by this weekend and will report back with the VAM findings, as I have time to attribute them. Jon. -makecents-

Thanks, guys! I've missed working with the Lady, hands down, my favorite coin. Definitely the wrong way to get back into VAMming but I'll take my lumps and move on.  -makecents-

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.. |

"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   -makecents-
