This whole hobby is one person taking advantage of another on some level despite people wanting to admit it. Whether it's selling salted rolls to newbies, cherry picking coins from someone with less knowledge, or buying slabbed coins to crack out and resubmit because someone knows it can jump up a grade. Maybe your view is a little clearer than mine since you ride a high horse but at the end of the day, some folks who wear halos are hiding pitchforks behind their backs.

 

You forgot, gamble on bad Ebay photos.

How about a bottle of Houck's Panacea?

 

Is it really all about money, the bottom line, etc?? What happened to purchasing what you like at a fair price? Knowledge in this hobby is unfortunately paid for by some. Most times it's not too costly, as is the case with this listing. But it's still a scam. This seller is playing to the bidiots, plain and simple. Selling hope like selling powerball tickets. But there are far more egregious instances of ripping people off in this hobbusiness.

So, are there any original rolls of Morgans floating around?

 

I would suspect there are still some "genuine" Morgan bank rolls floating around in someone's collection. I wonder just how many great coins are buried in private collections that have never seen a TPG or been in the marketplace. I'm betting quite a few as not everyone who collects coins advertises their collections.

I'd still be highly skeptical of any roll that comes on the market.

 

Knowledge is paid for by all in one way or another.

 

Oh, please... you cannot expect to be taken seriously implying that selling self-salted rolls with fraudulent claims is no different than resubmitting a coin, hoping for a higher grade, to a third party professional.

As for my "clearer" view, it has nothing to do with your deflective "high horse" claim, but stems from the simple fact that I care about the overall health and future of this hobby. This isn't about this seller offering bank rolls for a few bucks over face; it is about intentionally trying to mislead potential bidders into throwing their money away on something with a ZERO chance of being worth the cost of admission, and that could very well permanantly bury them. It should not be that hard to understand the difference.

 

i don't expect you to take me seriously. I fully expect people to ignore what I say and buy these rolls, or raw coins, or some other mistake that could be learned by listening to someone that had been there. People insist on making their own mistakes which is why these auctions exist to begin with. Btw, it's not that hard to understand, or at least it shouldn't be.

 

Bridge? Luciano...? Is that you Mr Arruda?

 

I would say that ones not that old...

I have seen some absolutely amazing Morgans come out of authentic original rolls.

 

Why isn't the end coin toned? Because it's a put together roll.... That's why.

 

How do you know there were only 10 silver dollars in rolls and not 20? I am not questioning your honesty but I am just wondering how do you know that?

 

My questions begin with the bank-wrapped roll itself. My understanding is that silver dollars were tossed into bags because no one wanted them.

Obviously, the paper rolls exist for a purpose but that probably came much later and in a more restricted context.
