Paying that price for a roll like this just seems shilly to me.

jmski52 · March 17, 2011 3:14AM

Ah, previous feedback on a roll of "CC"s. I don't know whether I jest. I never saw an original roll of Morgans, although I understand that they did exist. But a roll of "CC"s? Hmmmmmm.

That is the reason I asked.................

These have been talked about here just a few days ago. I dont know if by the same seller but these rolls.

RichieURich · March 17, 2011 3:22AM

I am familiar with original rolls of CC dollars. I found an old dealer's price list from the mid-1950's that quoted I think $55 for an original roll of 1885-CC's.

That said, however, if YOU owned the roll, wouldn't you open it and get the best coins certified, so that they would bring the best prices?

See this thread for discussion of an auction of a similar roll.

I own a bunch of unopened OBW silver, but not of this value. My problem is time. Even the ones I opened for the end toners, I have never gone back to actually look at the coins.

For that price you can buy a full 20 coin roll of CC dollars on ebay and know
what you are getting. No surprises or disappointments.

I wonder if shill bidding is involved here?

MsMorrisine · March 17, 2011 3:40AM

No Such Bank.

This fake roll scam has been the subject of a number of threads.

I also note the seller likes old silver dollars

Wasn't the machine that puts rolls into "shotgun" form not invented until 1913? Or was that machine for producing a different type of coin roll?

There is lots of curious green stuff on those Morgans.

I know. Kinda pitiful, isn't it? I order boxes of Kennedys from the Mint faithfully every year, and the last year I actually opened the boxes was 2007.

I order several multiples of Proof Sets, Silver Proof Sets, Prezbuck Sets, and Uncirculated Sets, and the last time I took a cursory glance at them was about 2008. I started looking at some of the silver proofs to see if I had any potential 70s, and I never got through them!! I just stopped, and put them away.

Except for the 2010 Mint Sets, which I tore into when I read the Coin World Article about some of the 2010 Sacs with Missing Edge Lettering.

I post here as I'm working during the day, and sometimes posting is more fun than working. Scratch that - posting is USUALLY more fun than working.

Oh Noooo , cue the morals and ethics mob ...

Seems like everyone is getting in on the act, the ol CC State Trust Bank.
These have been discussed extensively over the past few weeks.
This is a different seller, same ol pitch, estate, unsearched, blah, blah, blah.
Maybe I should do the same, brown paper bag, common unc Morgans, one or two CC's
and a CC State Trust Bank stamp, instant insano profit. Current bid is at $4150 for 10 Morgans, crazy.
Looks like "allraritiesllc" and "heatherr8384" have the monopoly, descriptions are very similar, hmmmmmmmm.

RETIRED CARSON CITY BANK EXECUTIVES DROPPING LIKE FLIES

More Than 30 Elderly Old-Time Bankers Have Kicked the Bucket in Recent Months

Recently Opened Estates Flood Market With Thousands of Toned Mint State Carson City Dollars in "Short Stack" "Original" "Rolls"

Collectors Rejoice, Vomit, Groan, Roll Eyes

130 years old, yet bright, white and freshly dipped appearance. At least they got them all shiny for us before we bid!

WoodenJefferson · March 17, 2011 6:27AM

Well, at least they got rid of the "recently found in an old unclaimed safety deposit box" ploy.

3/14/11 link

And there was a link, but I forgot how to search through the archives.

I support the notion that the bank possibly existed.

Another City Trust Seller

Here's another Morgan Roll seller, considering that there at one time existed 5 "rare roll" sellers on eBay, these rolls are definitely not rare.
