Just got the results for six 1896 Morgans from an original roll which I picked up about a month ago. I picked out the best six and got 3 MS 65's and 3 MS 66's. Here's a picture of two of the coins which I took in a flips prior to submitting. Great toning and a beautiful coin.

    WindyCity: That's fantastic to have even had the opportunity to select 3 MS-66's and 3 MS-65's out of a single original roll of 1896 Morgans!!

    Statistically speaking that's got to be quite an anomaly to have six such well preserved coins out of 20. I also commend you for having a great eye to have selected 6 top quality gems out of the bunch!

    Wow! image

    Just out of curiosity, did you buy the roll sight unseen?

    Thanks!

    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    I bought the roll from a local dealer. Had a chance to peak at it before I purchased the roll. I saw a couple of the beautifully toned coins a snapped it up. I will post a better picture once I have them back from PCGS.
