Some people love to gamble. Plain and simple.

 

Old rolls/bank rolls and some sort of crimping machine are not necessary; with a little patience and practice, it is not that difficult to both roll and crimp by hand with the end results being more than passable.

 

Well, count me out on that one!!

 

I believe this is the real deal. Of course, I also believe in the boogie man, the Easter Bunny and just purchased a transatlantic bridge in Hawaii. But, while searching this on good 'ol Google, I did see a couple of other related rolls. One was a 10 coin roll, with no images and another can be found here. As you will notice, the printing on the two rolls are slightly different. This one appears to be the same font but doubled - only on the bank's name, of course.

If you happen to buy this roll and want to open it. Come on over (you can use my bridge to get here) and we can ooh and aah over the coins while watching the Easter Bunny and the boogie man arm wrestle.

 

"**ATTENTION! Many Key Dates Found!! See Below, 1909S VDB AU+ (01-24-14)**"

Who knew there were 1909S VDB Morgan dollars?

 

LOL, That would be $500 a coin, even BU CC Morgans do not go that much and I think the only CC Morgans are the ones on the end, the rest are probably common dates in average condition and maybe one or two more good dates in the middle to make it seem like a scam

 

I have found a few on my newly acquired bridge.

 

Haha, wow. I did not expect this much of a response. I guess it really comes down to the simple question is could a roll survive INTACT for 108 years. Chances are slim. Even slimmer when a poster points out that said Morgans would've come in half rolls to begin with. Either way, I was never even in the running for something like this, just more curious. Thanks for everyone's input.

As an aside, after looking at the seller's other offerings, it seems weird that this big time roll dealer only offers SBAs and Late year Lincoln memorials rolls.

A follow up question I would ask is when is the last time someone in this discussion bought a genuine unopened bank roll of Morgans, or similar. This excludes instances that go back to the Treasury releases.

 

These are only "RARE" in real life but are as common as a PT Barnum Scam on eBay.

Can you say......Put Together? Sure you can!

 

Here is another one of his listings. It is amazing that people are buying $10 rolls of halves for $17.98 with shipping to try and find silver. It just baffles me people are that naive.

You all forgot the best part of his listing: * A 10% restocking fee will apply on all returns, sorry no exceptions.

So if a roll sells for $4500 and you decide to return it unopened, he hits you for a cool $450 bucks to repost it.

 

And he quotes -{ "Expect to find mostly circulated and uncirculated Kennedy halves from 1971 – 2014, but if you find any “keepers” then that is a bonus." }

"Mostly = ALL"

 

And- {"I have found almost every type of half dollar in these rolls including Barbers, Walkers, Franklins, 90% and 40% Silver Kennedys, Proofs, Silver Proofs, NIFCs and even the low mintage 1970 half dollar."}

As he was going through them and re-rolling the common Kennedys

 

Lol 'The Bullion and Exchange Bank' sounds legit to me. A google search brought up the name being involved in supposed scams the bank took place in. Seems this seller wants the banks legacy to live on.

 

Ever heard the saying "It's immoral to let a sucker keep his money". While everyone tears this seller apart, he is offering a service where there is a need. Maybe these buyers are gambling, or hoping, or just don't know any better but obviously there are people wanting what he is selling. Of course you can't open the roll and return it! That's like playing a hand of blackjack and asking for a refund if you lose. It's a gamble, not a guarantee. This guy found a niche and he would be out of business pretty quick if he didn't have any customers.

 

Oh, and he has 100% positive feedback.

 

Why not print up some wrappers identical to the one's the seller is using and sell those on eBay? If you craft the title of the auction correctly, they should turn up as suggested other items of interest to anyone who stumbles across the offending rolls.

 

Seriously? Perhaps you can explain this "need" to me because as far as I can tell, the fact that people may "want what he is selling" is easily trumped by the fact that what he is offering isn't real. As for your claim that this is a "gamble", that too is highly debatable, and again for the simple reality that the roll is not real. You can spin it any way you want, but the main issue here is that if this or any other listing is, in fact, fraudulent, nothing else matters. If this guy, instead of fluffing the roll as original, came right out and said that it is made up and salted with the CC reverses at the ends, do you honestly think the same people would bid? Come on...

 

I wonder if the seller will throw in a bottle of elixir as I heard that stuff works for everything!
