    In my never ending search of high grades amongst moderns. I strive too get Rolled coins as opposed to bags. I mostly buy from the mint directly. I still seem to get a large volume of bag marked scratched coins, rather than high grades. Does any one know if first strikes are reserved for corporate purchases. Or is it just luck of the draw. I just got 10 rolls and I cant say that there is even one that I would have slabbed. I was not paying attention and just assumed these where unsearched rolls. But they have been picked over and high graded out and I got the culls. :headbang: I should drill holes in them and make fishing lures out of them. Ok sorry about that I guess I just needed to vent. :hammer: :D

    Hi Joe,
    Sorry but there is no first strikes reserved for anyone the business strike coins go into bags and sent to a contractor to roll them.

    Interesting tour there Becky, I understand that much. :D And I know they change out the dies from time too time during the run. But do we know any body that has first dibbs on those early releases. Some body must know somebody Some where. Have a cousin that works at the mint. :whistle: :D :D Well I can get some comfort in knowing that it is luck of the draw. That takes the sting out of it a bit. Now I just have too find a witch and get a curse removed :D
