Mint Rolls vs. Strings Rolls

While I know that the coins (State Quarters in my case) in the mint wrappers and the coins in bank rolls are the same (for the most part), I collect the ROLLS. US Mint ROLLS from the start of the State Quarter program. We have had this discussion before. US Mint rolls are more valuable than the bank rolls, even though the coins inside the rolls are exactly the same. I have the first 8 states from "Peak Capital Group, LLC", and starting with the New Hampshire State Quarter ROLLS, the rest of the ROLL collection is from the US Mint. The Mint did not make ROLLS for the first 8 states. The ROLL colection is in small albums with a card inside that shows the order the State Quarters were introduced. I have 1 each for both mints (P& D). Hopefully 2008 will end the State Quarter program. I'm getting tired of paying a premium for the ROLLS of the State Quarters from the US Mint. Thanks for the discussion.

I've never had a problem with the rolls I get from my bank. However, I open all the rolls I get, mainly to get them away from the paper (which will eventually tone the coins)and put them into coin tubes. I don't really care if they're opened or not.

 

but you're not reselling them as unsearched rolls, dreamer

most who are interested in these rolls are looking to, at some future point, sell them for a profit

 

I guess you've been out of touch. There are going to be six more quarters in 2009. five territories and DC.

 

How do you tell the mintmark on an unopened Strings Presidential roll? At least with a mint wrapped roll your sure of the mintmark. I wonder why Strings rolls state the presidents name, but not the mintmark on the roll paper?

 

I wonder if the mint wrapped paper also tones the coins? Is it a special paper that prevents toning, or basically the same as Strings paper rolls?

 

There is no way to tell without opening the roll. You have to infer it from the source. I live near Philadelphia, so I know the uncirculated rolls from my bank are always "P" mint. They haven't been wrong yet. In most areas, banks get their uncirculated coins entirely from one mint or the other.
