[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2381024, member: 15929"]This is true .....but........the real killer is that 1971-Today are available in US Mint Sets. As such, BU Rolls will be available for a very, very long time. Having said that, it is important to note that "Original Bank Wrapped" rolls between 1971 and 1984 are going to have a strong premium associated with them. The trick, is in establishing whether or not its an original bank wrapped roll or a "mint set put together" roll. [I]Usually [/I]mint set coins come with "scrapes" across the high relief areas (cheek and Shield/Eagles Head). Find any scrapes on the high points of a coin in a roll you've purchased and there's a .999 probability its a put together roll. An original mint sewn bag would carry a stiff premium. I don't recall ever seeing a mint sewn bag of Kennedy's although they could definitely be ordered in the 70's. A $500 mint sewn bag of 72-D's could go for $1,500 IMO for what its worth. Generally speaking, circulated CnClad Kennedy's will command face value unless it's a well known variety in a higher grade.[/QUOTE]
