<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2495756, member: 68&quot;]This isn&#039;t true. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They can be sold as bid but buyers expect them to be all nice BU&#039;s in sellable condition.&nbsp; Many coins straight from mint sets are ugly and are not desired by buyers.&nbsp; This includes about 30% of &#039;72-P, 15% of &#039;72-D, 35% of &#039;73-P, and 25% of &#039;73-D.&nbsp; If you take a lot of coins off the top then you&#039;ll have to take even more off the bottom to make good rolls. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The irony here is that all these put-together rolls are far nicer than bank rolls but buyers like bank rolls because they might have Gems and varieties.&nbsp; The odds of Gems is very very low.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I believe this is unduly pessimistic.&nbsp; One shouldn&#039;t expect to be able to save bags of circulating dollars and make a profit or to pay current retail prices for inferior coins and expect large profits.&nbsp; But the fact is you can set aside nice choice mint sets and mint set singles at such a low price that you could sell at a profit TODAY.&nbsp; If this series gets more attention in the future then there is a certainty that such coins would return significant profits. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The real question is one of simply will collectors ever wake up to the scarcity of nice clads.&nbsp; If they do then it&#039;s a whole new ball game because there will be no supply at all and onlydemand.&nbsp; It&#039;s a game of musical chairs where the music has droned on for 50 years now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
