<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Sims, post: 1915614, member: 59688&quot;]I am pretty confident in stating original unsearched rolls of Morgan dollars do not exist today. Back in the 1980&#039;s solid date rolls of Morgan dollars could be had quite easily. It was common for a dealer to examine a roll before purchase and if he liked the overall quality of the roll he bought it, took it back to his table cherry picked the nicest ones and replaced them with comparable ones to keep the coins fairly well matched. After changing hands a few times the rolls would be sold to a collector at MS-60 to 61 prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the early 1970&#039;s a woman who had a complete roll set of Franklin halves purchased directly from the bank was selling 3-4 rolls every three months to a local coin dealer who was my mentor. She would hold the rolls she purchased and let me be the first to go through them and pick out the best one. I filled a Dansco Franklin half album from those rolls.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
