Most if not all of the coin on end rolls are made by the sellers. Out of all the rolls I've gone through from the banks, I've never seen a error coin on the end...and I've been through thousands and thousands of rolls. Found doubled dies, errors and other odds and ends. I've never bought rolls off ebay.
I SURE WILL LET YOU KNOW NEXT WEEK WHEN I GET THEM.I MYSELF AM A SELLER ON E-BAY AND I HAVE BEEN A POWER SELLER FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW,MAINLY COINS.SO YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD KNOW THIS VALUABLE INFO BUT WE JUST ASSUME TO MUCH AND WHEN I SEE A SELLER WITH 100% POSITIVE FEED BACKS THAT,S WHERE THE ASSUMING PART COMES IN.I,M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS SITE WITH SUCH GREAT PEOPLE.THANK YOU.JAMES
N. F. String of Harrisburg, PA does coin rolling for the Federal Reserve and other clients as well, such as CoinStar or other similar machine owners, and especially those who own many of them. Hence their rolls may indeed be either solid date newly released coins or run-of-the-mill circulated material. Caveat emptor. One Harriburg-centered bank chain, Metro Bank, has free no discounted payment coin counting machines in every branch. You do the math. Harrisburg based bank chain, Harrisburg based N.F. String. Hmmm.
SORRY FOR THE LARGE CAPS AND THANK YOU FOR THAT GREAT WELCOME.IT,S JUST EASIER FOR ME WITH MY ARTHRITIS.PLUS I LIST ALL MY ITEMS ON E-BAY WITH LARGE CAPS TO GET A WIDER BASE OF CUSTOMERS.MANY BUYERS HAVE THANKED ME FOR THE LARGE CAPS AS THEY HAVE POOR VISION.SO AGAIN I,M SORRY BUT IT,S JUST THE WAY I TYPE.JAMES
CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THE BANKS GET COINS FROM THE U.S.MINT?I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL ROLLS OF UN CIRCULATED 'P" AND SOME "D" MINTED NATIONAL PARKS QUARTERS IN FULL BOXES AT A LOCAL BRANCH MY DAUGHTER GOES TO.THE TELLER DID NOT KNOW TO MUCH THOUGH.JAMES
I used to be a bank teller... some come as brand new and some are mixed. Yes, you can get complete new or mixed.
Coins come to commercial banks from the Federal Reserve, not the mint. Federally chartered banks get them first and then they second-source usually to the state-chartered banks. At least that's how it works in the 3rd Federal Reserve district, HQ'd in Philly. Most state chartered banks get coin machine re-runs rather than from federal banks.
Me too! I never knew you could buy rolls from String. Pretty cool. Holy frijoles! From where I type this, I could WALK to N.F. String in 20 minutes!
N.F. String & Loomis do both, new coins and circulated. It's the luck of the draw if you run across a B.U. roll at your bank or not. But the way these errors are showing up, you (probably) will not be out all that much if anything. If you should find multiples of certain errors and sell your dupes on ebay you will be way ahead of the game. Cross your fingers for now and see what happens.
Are you absolutely certain about that? From their own website: Coin Processing N. F. String will process your coins and, unlike anyone else in the industry, we have a very expedient ACH system once your coins have been picked up. Whether in bags or bins, your coins will be picked up and accurately processed. Contact us for details.
Thank You,The one roll i purchased does have a tail ended coin with a large die chip on the roof portion of the log cabin of the homestead coin.So like you said it,s the luck of the draw.I will keep everyone posted as to my findings.Jim
Some people have all the luck.Wish i lived near a mint.My friend does, and he is always getting great coins that other Mints send to philadelphias gift shop.He just purchased 2 baseball silver proof dollars for $100.00 that some man had just dropped off while he was shopping this week.
I'm nearer String on a daily basis than the Mint, but ironically enough I'm on a train to Philly right now. The mint, however, is closed for the day. When and if you go there, do visit Ben Franklin's grave, VERY nearby. A truly great man deserves our constant admiration.
No poop. The one I'm on terminates in Philly. If I were going to New York, my transfer would be train #188. That evening, I spoke with people who were transferring to THAT TRAIN, the one that never got there.
