<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinOKC, post: 735600, member: 2146&quot;]You know, the William Henry Harrison Mint Rolls are still commanding a fortune.&nbsp; What&#039;s so different about these than the ones you could buy at the bank?&nbsp; NOTHING!&nbsp; What are people paying for?&nbsp; PACKAGING!</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no difference in the Silver Commemorative Lincoln dollar in the Chronicle set than the ones you could buy individually.&nbsp; Also, there is no difference in the Lincoln cents you could obtain in the proof set.&nbsp; So, obviously people are buying this set for the packaging although I&#039;m sure some people bought it in order to get the Commemorative Dollar which they may have missed when it first came out.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, there will still only be 50,000 of these sets available.&nbsp; There won&#039;t be any more packaging available for someone to &quot;create&quot; one of these sets.&nbsp; Just like there won&#039;t be any more William Henry Harrison Mint Roll wrappers available to create &quot;mint rolls&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think about it...&nbsp; I could say to my friend:</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Blue"><b>&quot;Hey, I&#039;ve got a bank-wrapped roll of William Henry Harrison dollars&quot;.</b></span> </p><p><br /></p><p>To which he would reply:</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: Blue">&quot;Yes you inferior being, but I have a <u><i>mint-wrapped</i></u></span></b> (even though they&#039;re not REALLY mint-wrapped)<b> <span style="color: Blue">roll of William Henry Harrison dollars&quot;.</span></b> </p><p><br /></p><p>To which I would reply (as I&#039;m twirling my finger in a circular motion about a half-inch from my temple in that &quot;crazy&quot; gesture):</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Blue"><b>&quot;Yes, but in my book, that and $3.49 will get you a hot cup of Starbucks Latte&quot;.</b></span>&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>HOWEVER, many people will look at the same scenario and say, &quot;Oh Jeeeeez, I&#039;ve just GOT to get a mint-wrapped roll of those&quot; and they would be willing to pay the price!!&nbsp; And the story is the same for the Lincoln Chronicle Set.&nbsp; But, the Chronicle set sure has some pretty packaging if I say so myself....&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
