<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 4945944, member: 66&quot;]The W coins are not mixed well or randomly distributed.&nbsp; Apparently they simply put a scoop or two in the top of the ballistic bag after they are filled (I know they did that on the first couple issues last year, I would not be surprised if they just continued that procedure.)&nbsp; This means that the first boxes rolled from the bag will be very heavy in W coins with later boxes having fewer and fewer until eventually probably boxes from the last half of the bag having none.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dealers also have large numbers of collectors that feed coins that they find to them.&nbsp; So you can have a large number of collectors going through boxes and selling all the W coins they find to the dealers.&nbsp; This allows the dealers to accumulate a large stock.&nbsp; The same thing can be said about sets, even one with household limits.&nbsp; &nbsp; And of course for the sets they can have employees or even temporary hires ordering sets for them as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Larger dealers may even be buying ballistic bags either from the mint (collectors can do that too but it is a real headache to do so for the average person) or from the armored car services.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
