<p>[QUOTE=&quot;walterallen, post: 181671, member: 4068&quot;]To this day the mint only issues bagged coins.

They are no better then rolls you get from the bank. Its just you can&#039;t get Denver rolls in banks on the east coast or Philly rolls in banks on the west coast. I guess that&#039;s why people are paying a premium to get P&amp;D rolls from the USMINT sales center.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been searching and cannot find when rolls were first introduced. My guess would be after WWII when people were hoarding large amount of coin. Of course I could be totally wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
