<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Douglas, post: 198623, member: 617&quot;]I didn&#039;t mean for this thread to take the direction it is headed. The issue is not whether I will be able to get both mints due to geographic area, but where/how to locate and only pay face value. My concern is getting rolls that the wrappers indicate what mint the coins are inside. As I understand, mint specific wrappers are only available from the US Mint, either through mint direct or if a particular bank orders rolled coins from the Fed. Apparently, and this is from a rather large local coin dealer, no banks in my area order coins pre-rolled by the mint. If that was not the case I&#039;m sure he would have gotten them to sell in his store. He pays face value to stock his shelves but he has to mark the wrappers manually, and he can do that because he knows where each $1000 box comes from. I know I can get hand marked wrappers and prolly only pay face value, but that is not how I wish to begin this collection. I want my collection to contain rolls that the wrappers themselves are printed to indicate mint and I only wish to pay face value. Chicagoland is a pretty big area with many many banks, I was hoping for some clear direction from Coin Talk members. Thanks, Douglas[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
