Hmmm he doesn't have morgan rolls right now but all his stuff is way overpriced

 

Here's a twist on the theme. This guys selling one already opened.

That one is fascinating, and it wouldn't shock me if it were legit. The bank identified on the roll existed 100 years ago and still exists today, and I don't have any problem believing Morgans in circulation in rural Iowa into the Twentieth Century. It's not out of the realm of possibility (that's all I'm saying) that *this* bank could have handled enough Morgans to have created rolls of them.

I don't believe they're all uncirculated as the seller says they are, and the album-style toning on the 1884 and 1885 tends to argue against them having toned in the roll, even though they were the end pieces. That 1889 at bottom left could not have toned in the roll, but they might have taken it in deposit.

Doesn't matter in the long run. The guy is gonna get stupid money for it, we're going to be derisive of that, and life goes on.

 

At least they can see what they're getting I guess.

 

Some people are paid to leave positive reviews.

And as someone else said, the coins are unsearched once the seller puts them in the roll...
