Was the bank actually ever named "Carson City State Trust Bank"? All I can find when I google that name I see a similar name, but different. It would be confusing if there were 2 banks with very similar names, no? http://www.scripophily.net/stbaandtrcoc.html |

This is a very interesting <<>> from another site that may help with this....I hope it is ok to post this link, just thought it was important to this post. I would hate for someone to get ripped off on these.

Oops I guess it wasn't ok, the link was auto-removed..sorry guys.
One thing that is interesting about these rolls is that they never show the seam of the roll. Might be a good idea to ask for more pics on these. Just a suggestion.

That's why I posted this. I thought it might be too good to be true. I wouldn't buy it.

The seller reports similar rolls have contained mixtures of CC, O, S, and Philly coins. This roll is "guaranteed" to contain at least two BU Carson City coins and presumably the remaining coins could be any dates and mints. If we presume this roll was filled by the Carson City State Trust Bank they likely would use whatever coins were in the till at that time. As such they might not even all be uncirculated.
Current bid is approaching $300 per coin. At that price you could assemble a real uncirculated CC roll with no-problem coins in MS-62 to MS-64. You could include 1878, 1882-1884, 1890, and 1891-dated coins within that price point.

on the pcgs forum, many have said that there is no such thing and that the seller is pulling a fast one on people.

Seems odd no toned coins on the ends.

Why does this remind me of the movie "Catch Me if you Can"? Frank Abagnale Jr was better though.
It looks like to me he is recrimping the end of the rolls, if they were ever real rolls to begin with.

almost certainly a faked roll, like the ones with vdbs, three-cents, and OPA tokens on the ends. Not even a good shotgun wrap job. what's bid on two cc dollars with obverse scratches?

So far I've seen a dozen or more of these rolls offered in the past year. They are probably all faked "originals".

I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a team of con-artists working on selling those. Several of the bidders have a high % of their bids with that same seller. Never under estimate the lengths con-men will go to in pursuit of a dollar.  If they put the same time into legitimate work they would be well off. |
