79 S on one end. 78 CC on the other end. 1881 S's in the middle lol

 

I'm gonna guess a complete roll of Mint State 79-CCs

 

Are you psychic Evan?

 

I know the result but will let @Cascade reveal it. But would you spend close to $3K on a roll like that?

Nothing good will come from a roll style that didn't exist while the Bullion and Exchange Bank of CC NV did.

 

Not really. I just know that anybody can wrap coins and purchase a custom stamp saying "Calling All Suckers"

I don't get the mag so I won't know until the online article comes out. Is it published somewhere yet? If so link away

 

Paper-wrapped coin rolls hadn't been invented in the 1870's. They did not appear until after the turn of the century.

Good luck with that.

 

I'll just say that I'd expect the interior coins to have bullion value, because if I replaced those last three letters with four to say what I really thought of it, I'd get in trouble.

 

Can't post link because of password protection, but did PM you pertinent info.

Okay, so what is the answer?

 

Beg to differ, Dave, quoting myself from ATS:

... a patent search for coin wrapper, sorted by age finds this:
https://patents.google.com/patent/US186886A/en
And reading in there...

So plain or printed brown paper would seem to have been a common practice in the 1870s.

 

Maybe, but the ends were folded not shot gun crimped like modern rolls.

 

I am pleased to see this; it's the first evidence I've seen which intimates that paper wrapping became common before the turn of the century.

 

So maybe all those "Original Bank Rolls" of Morgans on eBay really are legit!

Some?

Any?

 

none

 

I'm going to guess the inner coins are either MS66* monster toned 1889-CC's or VG details cleaned 1881-S's.

 

Ooooh ooooh - can I vote for cleaned 81S?

 

Wow way to go. Thats a in your face moment
