<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1005682, member: 26302"]While they are the same date, I am not sure they would necessarily be a "group". Looks like original roll toning to me. While Morgans were stored in bags primarily, these coins got distributed earlier in their life and rolled up at banks. Since the silver was "fresher" and most of the old rolls were cheap, sulfur impregnated paper, this happened a lot. I was at an auction of an old dealer, (man this was an auction for the ages, 8 days worth of accumulation over 2 months), and there were rolls upon rolls like this of these dollars. A common date like this basically went for melt, with better dates of course higher. They were wrapped similarly and looked like these coins you have shown when opened. Back then this was a bad thing, and the auctioneer acknowledged that their "condition" made them less than desirable, but they were in fact uncirculated. I would wager that most of those were dipped by now, but some weren't apparently. I honestly cannot remember if I bought any, if I did they are in my junk silver bank box.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just generic thoughts, maybe knows of a certain roll entering the market recently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
