    I went to eBay, and my search for vf.investments went nowhere.

    If history can be a guide, stay away.... lots of scams of Morgan rolls.... from the infamous 'ballistic' (totally meaningless in a numismatic sense) rolls to the 'unsearched' of ebay fame. Cheers, RickO

  • Also using PCGS, NGC, ANACS and ANA logos. I can't find a website nor a physical store location for this business. So that in itself needs addressed.

    Steps to success ...

    1. Invest a lot of VF Morgans
    2. Sandwich 18 them between a pair of MS coins
    3. Roll them in my old-timey rolling machine into paper rolls I have stamped with a Nevada bank name
    4. Scuff them
    5. Image them with some neat old 'bank receipt' behind them
    6. Make no claims whatsoever that could be used to used as a 'guarantee' of contents
    7. Let bidders' greed ... er ... imagination take over
    8. Accept no returns ... plus as soon as the rolls are opened, they are no longer what I sold ... so I'm covered.
    9. Adopt a cat and name him Schrodinger.

    1. Adopt a cat and name him Schrodinger.
