Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 362449, member: 112"]Oh I've seen them before and they are out there for sale. But that's not the point. My question is when they were rolled ? For example it's quite possible that roll of 1878-S dollars never saw a paper roll until well into the very late 1800's or possibly even the early 1900's. Of course it would have been easy for the mint sealed bag of dollars to have sat in a bank vault for 20 or 30 years, perhaps longer even, before it was ever opened and the coins placed into rolls. Thus this has an effect on what we think of when we say an original roll which implies that the coins had never seen circulation and that they had never been taken out of that roll, mixed with other loose coins and then re-rolled at a later date. Which would mean that the roll was not original at all. And that, I suspect, is what Mark was talking about with his comment.[/QUOTE]
