[QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2892169, member: 76739"]I can't speak for others. Please post some of your fines. I have found over the years after purchasing mint rolls and a few bags, and paying the mint markup price for these items, at least the coinage that I'm looking for I can get directly from the bank without paying the markup prices. Because of what you're buying from the mint, is basically the same coins you get from the bank without the markup. And in some cases you can get better quality from the bank without paying the markup for the mint packaging. As you stated you buy a hundred coin sealed bag, once you open that bag it is no longer sealed. I guess you can get a little bit of money for the bag itself. But from what I've seen over the years, that's a lot of money to pay for a bag. But to each their own, I just happened to get in good with the teller manager at my bank, I let them know exactly what I'm looking for and I stopped paying the mint prices for coins. On several occasions, I can get a whole box of 2000 quarters, the armored car carrier that the bank gets its coinage from gets a bag of quarters from the Federal Reserve here in Miami. They have a tendency to roll the new coins and boxed them in a different kind of box. This way I pay a quarter for a quarter. USMC60[/QUOTE]
