<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 20243, member: 68&quot;]When new coins are issued it&#039;s not unusual for some potential buyers to miss out.&nbsp; Frequently this and speculation will push the price of new coins up above issue price for a few years and then they are left to the mercies of supply and collector demand.&nbsp; Fifteen years ago this almost invariably meant that the prices would tank for almost all late date coins after two or three years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In the long run the price of these rolls will be determined strictly by the coins in them.&nbsp; Good rolls will bring stronger prices than bad rolls and unopened ones will tend to gravitate to about where the odds of finding choice specimens would dictate.&nbsp; From what has been reported the coins in the rolls aren&#039;t special in any way.&nbsp; First strikes no longer really mean anything in an age where dies are swapped out on a regular basis right from the beginning. Since it is collectors who are buying these it may not be wise to write off the value of these rolls.&nbsp; It&#039;s not impossible that the mint has increased the quality and they are a cheap source of choice examples.&nbsp; It&#039;s most likely just people willing to pay too much for a popular product so they can have it now rather than wait until the prices become more in line with bank rolls.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
