<p>[QUOTE="Eskychess, post: 115114, member: 4692"]I did get to a coin shop and he had the rolls from the mint. I was able to pick 5 Ds and Ps respectively - $.40 cents each.... not bad! I will say I am tremendously impressed and tremendously disappointed in the same moment regarding these new nickels. #1 I am impressed by the artistry of the coin. It is beautiful and a nickel worth collecting - the art is impressive. #2 I am very disappointed in the coindition of these business strike coins. HORRIBLE! Nicks all over, not very shiney and light and nondescript detail. Maybe the dealer got a bad couple rolls, but I know the mint can do better than that. I'll look for the proofs down the road, but as for the circulated - I am terribly disappointed in the strike. I have a feeling these coins will wear very badly over time. Collect a bunch of them now!</p><p><br /></p><p>Esky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
