I have no idea about the $100 or smaller bag options from the mint website directly, if those could contain errors or oddities, I've no experience with that.

Back in the state quarter years when you could order rolls of state quarters at a bank of a particular design (presidential dollars as well) they were getting it from Fed Bank distribution and there were the bigger bulk canvas bags also. Nowadays it's been contracted out to armored carriers and they are taking the huge ballistic bags and going straight to rolls so anything non-conforming would be rejected and sent back for a refund for accounting purposes (or replaced by the armored carrier worker and taken by them for accounting purposes).

I've been curious about these mint direct smaller canvas bags but not curious enough to pay the markup on them. If you do it, let us know how the hunt goes.

 

I'd make a wise crack about old bags but it may ruin my social life.

 

A couple of years ago, I saw some for sale on Fred Weinberg's site.

 

Brings back memories of when I first started collecting (later 50's, age 10) in
Whitmans. Dad had a small business, and when I asked, he would get a bag of pennies from the bank for me. (Yeah, I know - 63 years later on CT I found out they were really "Cents"!) Probably went thru at least ten bags. Think I also got a bag of Nickels and maybe even Dimes, but Quarters/Halves were way too expensive (had to limit myself to rolls)! After all, to repay what I found, allowance money only went so far. Got silver dollars as gifts from Grandmas & Grandpas. Knew nothing about errors and varieties.

 

Probably OK since he started this in 2015

 

Bet they watch what's coming out...!

 

Be nice if you could show us. Thanks

 

I don't have photos of any of my coins, but the overlay provided by J. Cuvelier looks like this.

Note that the "Y" of LIBERTY is between the 2nd & 3rd columns from the left.

 

Well, that didn't work out like it used to.

Correct. Even the roll sets they sell are rolled by an outside contractor. They ship the ballistic bags to them and they do the rolling.
