<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1929324, member: 4626&quot;]Yep; the standard uncirculated issues (often called &quot;bullion&quot; issues as they&#039;re intended more for bullion investors than collectors) weren&#039;t offered directly to the public (and still aren&#039;t); they were sold to dealers by the roll to then be sold to third parties.&nbsp; The only &quot;official&quot; mint packaging was only for the proofs until 2006; in 2006 the Mint also started offering &quot;burnished uncirculated&quot; issues directly to the public, and has done so since (though none were offered in 2009; no proofs were minted that year either).</p><p><br /></p><p>You often find all kinds of unofficial third party packaging for the standard uncirculated ASEs.&nbsp; What&#039;s in the OP&#039;s picture is one such example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
