<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2929088, member: 76739&quot;]I basically answered part of your question in my reply to the other member. And all I will say is when you&#039;re lucky enough to find one you will know it.</p><p>Then you can do like I just told the other member you can start doing your own research of why that coin looks the way it does.</p><p><br /></p><p>And those bags you buy and spend a premium amount for they are nothing special they come out of a big Ben of commercial coins.</p><p>I just went through 4000 Ellis islands that I only paid face value for. You can get them from your local bank if you know what to look for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you were To go to the bank that I go to like I did yesterday, and asked the teller for a roll or a couple rolls of the new quarters. Guess what this bank would give you a couple of the new Ellis Island rolls that I had just turned in.I always make sure the teller knows that these are the new quarters for any one that asked for them even though they&#039;ve already been searched.</p><p><br /></p><p>You made an interesting statement, you say the mint releases these coins all at the same time. I don&#039;t know all the articles that I&#039;ve ever read the mint even has certain events on the days that they release certain coinage. So you may want to rephrase that statement. Now I can only speak for the Federal Reserve in South Florida.</p><p>This Federal Reserve gets its coinage from the Philadelphia mint.. They get their coinage in big bulk bins like you see in the photo. The director of the Federal Reserve here in South Florida determines when he is going to release certain coins in to the public by giving them to the company&#039;s that actually roll the coins up for the banks.</p><p><br /></p><p>The mint just does not flood the market with the new coinage the only release that new coinage as it&#039;s needed in the general public. But you can go pay a premium for a bag of commercial coinage but you&#039;re going to pay that premium.</p><p>I prefer to wait until they release it to the general public and just pay cost.</p><p>USMC60[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
