Pmint1 Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 9:18 pm In the last two months I've bought Morgan's from reputable dealers I've known for years that were from original rolls. One is an 04-O from one dealer and two that are 80-S from my regular dealer. Both rolls were solid date/mint marked with all 20 in each roll identical in luster and detail. The 80-s' look ms-66 PL or better to me. These dollars are stunning with amazing luster. It made me wonder how many original rolls and/or bags are still out there. Does anyone know of either bags or rolls still unsearched and in the wild? Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24867 Posts	Posted 06/28/2023 9:55 pm I have three rolls of MS Morgans (81S, 98O, 02O) that were put in plastic tubes back in the '60s. I've never even looked through them. They are out there. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Edited by HondoB 06/28/2023 9:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

There may be original bank rolls of Morgans, but not rolls from the mint. It is likely that there are still original bank bags that still exist. Here is a link on the same topic over 10 years ago. http://goccf.com/t/108523 Report this Post to the Staff

The oldest hand-wrapping patent found by search is 1879, https://patents.google.com/patent/U...?oq=US215788 which refers to a gelatin sheet so the coins are visible but acknowledges the common practice Quote: In banking and other establishments it is customary to wrap up gold, silver, and other as to form to be adapted to worn or bent coin, So if by OBW you mean somebody took a piece of brown paper and rolled the coins in it, sure, they probably do still exist. If you mean the kind of coin wrapper we use today - they aren't O -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 06/29/2023 9:04 pm If I remember correctly, I read that there are only 4 original bags that are confirmed and accounted for, it was on another thread. No such thing as original rolls, those were all transferred from bags to rolls outside of the mint. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
