<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinSwede, post: 60701, member: 1770&quot;]This was commented by a U.S. Mint spokesperson in Coin World a while ago. </p><p>The coins are transported from the mint to a company that packs them in rolls, and then the rolls are shipped to another company for packaging.</p><p>Considering that first strikes and later strikes are mixed already at the mint, and the coins are then transported to two different companies handling the rolling and packaging (and neither company pays any attention to if the coins are first strikes or not, because there is no way for them to know), there is NO WAY to know which coins were the first one pressed using new dies. </p><p>The numbers are put of the boxes by the company that packs the rolls from Denver and Philadelphia into the white boxes. The numbers are serial numbers for the order in which the box sets were put together and is in NO WAY correlated with the coins being foirst strikes or not.</p><p>The sellers on Ebay are frauding buyers in this case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
