[QUOTE="Sholom, post: 618805, member: 17753"]Thanks for your detailed answer! But it brings more questions Why at a premium? Can't they get all they need from the mint? (I haven't seen any upper limit on orders) Spend them ?!?! Wow -- another surprise! Which proof sets are that low? (I've seen, e.g., market value for some proof sets to be pretty low -- e.g., 1987 -- but I've never seen them below, say $3 -- and proof sets before 1999 or so have less than $1 face in them, right? Am I missing something?) And, also, again, my original question: if coins are together in a roll, wouldn't that cause slight scratch marks at the highest point of contact? (Certainly more than the "slide marks" of the plastic in Dansco albums, no? Thanks for the info . . . teach me more![/QUOTE]
