<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 24979720, member: 27832&quot;]It seems like I&#039;ve read that <i>some</i> banks put <i>some</i> silver dollars in rolls as far back as the 1930s, but the Mints always distributed them in bags. (I did see one claim that the New Orleans Mint provided silver dollars to a couple of customers in $10 rolls, but were told to cut it out.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen lots of discussion about how these eBay rolls are invariably ripoffs, and I know that &quot;old-looking&quot; empty rolls are readily available. I also know it&#039;s quite easy to make a new roll <i>look</i> old, either before or after putting coins into it.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I was first getting back into the hobby, I went through a phase where I was tempted by &quot;unopened rolls&quot;. I&#039;m glad I didn&#039;t spend any money I couldn&#039;t afford to waste.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
