<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 8172168, member: 105098&quot;]I will say this, as a roll searcher, even of BU boxes, the nice coins are very few and far between, nicest I&#039;ve ever come across is MS66-MS67. Your best shot at getting a high grade MS coin would be out of a mint set, not from a meant for circulation roll or bag, and this would be because the&nbsp; mint ships out coins in bags on pallets to hubs, the hubs break the bag and dump it in their industrial sized rolling machines and they all get zingged around in that process. even the shipping to the hub and then the transport to the banks, all of this makes it hard to come up with a coin relatively free of contact marks. </p><p><br /></p><p>With a mint set, the coins skip the transportation and rolling, and transportation, and have a higher chance of being less imperfect, but still you have to know a MS67 from a 68 from a 69 when you see one, and not just blindly gamble unless you have money to throw away. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mint set coins are better if looking for a high grade moderns for this reason, but they aren&#039;t perfect and some are better than others, so even still it takes a real knowledge to find candidates to send for grading, even from mint sets. if it doesn&#039;t come back top population of a grading company, it wasn&#039;t worth the cost to send it in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
