<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 3760, member: 487"]I kind of have to disagree with you Jody. It is not worth a dealers time to pick through the loose coins for certain dates and mintmarks. Especially for post 1970. As most of these coins will average very little profit. Once most dealers crack open a roll, it will go into flips. Now as far as cheap goes, I would suggest you open the rolls that you already own. There are several tough dates to obtain in these modern years. Most collectors were not saving rolls of coinage after 1964. There just wasn't much of a market for it. Just check out the bid prices for some rolls of the mid 1980's and you see what I mean. Getting AU/BU singles will be a tough thing to do. If you could settle for F/VF a quick trip to your bank to search rolls would probably get you most of the way there. There are also a few dealers that have ready made sets available. Personally I don't believe it is worth the price, but it is an option for you. Check with your dealer to see if they have albums behind or under the counter. They are sometimes called junk books, but they will contain a lot of what you are seeking for a pretty good price. Lincolns will sell around 15 cents, Jeffersons in that same area, Roosevelts for around 25 Cents, and the Quarters should be less than 75 Cents for most of the years. Do your homework before starting out on your quest, as many of the new DDO's and DDR's were not looked for. So you may stumble onto a real find if you know what to look for. Good Luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
