<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 868227, member: 15929&quot;]IMO, the US Mint is making a terrible mistake by not selling rolled examples of new coinage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I saw a post somewhere in response to an inquiry as to why they did not do this and the response was along the lines that the US Mint only deals with the Federal Reserve who in turn issues the new coins to their member banks.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is just so much malarky since if this were true, why one earth are they able to offer each of the Presidential Dollars?</p><p>How were they able to offer each of the Lincoln BiCentennial varieties?</p><p>How are they able to offer (and for how long) the new Lincoln Shield cents?</p><p>How are they able to offer the NA Dollars on a &quot;Direct Ship&quot; program?</p><p>How were they able to offer the <i>2003 Jefferson Rolls</i>? (Yes they sold these just prior to the release of the Louisiana Purchase coins of 2004-2006) What about the 2001 Kennedy&#039;s?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It seems to me that they do not offer the new coinage simply because they don&#039;t want to. Why they don&#039;t want to take advantage of this market, especially with the current economy, is beyond me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
