Do you mean the silver dollar or the clad half dollar? Of the three in the set, I prefer the dollar coin myself.
Since I got into coins a little late I've had to buy some sets from previous releases. Lewis & Clark coin and currency set.
Do you buy them from the mint or bank? When buying rolls of a specific year do you leave them sealed or inspect first?
Seems like I am going to the bank to pick up some cents!!! Anybody need Denver cents? I'll need philly.
If I buy a BU roll that came from a mint box or the bank I usually leave them rolled. I have put together a set of unc rolls starting in 1953 through 2011 PD and S cents with the exception of the proofs. My oldest unc roll is a 1942 S and I have a few more from the 40's and 50's. If I am paying a premium for a roll (more than a few dollars) then I usually inspect the rolls. The original bank rolls from the 40's and 50's I will not usually break them open. Occasionally I'll break open a few rolls from the 60's looking for toned coins or mint errors.I broke open an original 1955s roll and found a 55s double die that I had slabbed and it came back DDO ms64 red.
:thumb:This a Very low mintage Comm less 8000 were made if this is the MS coin!! but the proof was about 10,000 made that still no big mintage.
My latest Newp from FUN. NGC MS 65 RB. I'm pretty stoked about it. It took a while for me to get around to getting one in this date and condition. Turned out to be much tougher than some of the classic Keys. Matt
