[QUOTE="cladking, post: 73563, member: 68"]Coins can be removed from proof sets and put into rolls with no damage. It really isn't a difficult process if care is taken. There will be some significant damage on a very tiny percentage of coins and minor things like prints or small marks on a few but most coins will be fine. Only the very highest qual- ity coins are worth the cost of slabbing and a few other near gems will often be held out of the rolls. One thing that is fairly consistent on the wholesale market is that culls and problem coins have to be excluded for these rolls to sell. This means fewer than 2% of the coins are taken off the top but as much as 10% is taken off the bottom. All else being equal most of these rolls are slightly better than the average proof set though there is little chance you can find a spectacular gem in the rolls. Generally I wouldn't recommend the proof rolls for just this reason, but there's an even better reason to avoid proof rolls; they're usually more expensive! You can buy the sets to make rolls for less than the cost of the rolls and you can find the high grade coins in sets.[/QUOTE]
