Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2182688, member: 112"]As I mentioned earlier in this thread, how exactly does one define an "unsearched, original roll" ? You see that's the whole thing in a nutshell. Many people have this idea that an "unsearched, original roll" means the roll contains, at the least, uncirculated and thus MS quality coins. The words unsearched, original roll conjure up images in their mind that the coins were taken from previously sealed mint bags of coins and put into these rolls, and then kept there for many decades with the rolls never having been opened. But they don't stop to think about what actually goes on in a bank, nor do they consider the possible, and very probable, time line I described in previous posts. You see while it is possible that a roll could contain uncirculated coins, and only uncirculated coins, it is not probable that it would. That is because in a bank, they don't care what kind of coins go into a roll, they only care that the count is right. To them, the bank, a well worn Morgan is exactly the same as an uncirculated Morgan - they are both the same, a dollar, just like any other dollar. So when the bank decided that coins needed to be rolled up, they just grabbed loose coins, any loose coins, worn and uncirculated, they had in the bank and rolled them up. And at that point that roll became an unsearched and original roll. Even though it contained circulated coins. And it would stay an unsearched and original roll forever how many years it was left in that condition. So to claim that it was clearly not an unsearched and original roll, would simply not be true. For by definition it very easily could be. And that's the problem, people don't know what an unsearched and original roll even is. They only think they do.[/QUOTE]
