<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1255220, member: 15929&quot;]When they were first released, I pulled some very respectable coins out of the 2011 US Mint Sets but subsequent attempts were fruitless. This was a mint set coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]135446.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I have not purchased any US Mint rolls for 2011, my experiences in past years have also been fruitless.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess what I am saying is that its really the &quot;Luck of the Draw&quot; in that it&#039;s possible to score really big and at the same time, possible to get a bunch of dog coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d like to point you in one direction or the other but just cannot. The US Mint Set intended coins DO get special handling during their production cycle but unfortunately, the Mint Set Packaging process has a tendency to wipe out that &quot;special handling&quot; with scrapes, grinds and gouges.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finding coins which are &quot;gradeable&quot; can be a challenging experience and from what I&#039;ve seen, there is no real guarantee when purchasing US Mint products as most dealers that do undertake this challenge, usually buy hundreds of mint sets and submit coins in bulk to let the graders sort them out. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck on whatever you decide.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
