<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cphine, post: 712598, member: 20940&quot;]Hi folks,</p><p>Here&#039;s the first of many questions this newbie has.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When one buys rolls of coins from the bank, they may contain either all of one year/mint or they may be random bunches of circulated coins.&nbsp; How is one to tell the difference before purchasing?&nbsp; Are all the String and Son rolls uncirculated or could someone just buy their paper and reroll?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Somewhat related second question....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In my half dollar hunting at local banks yesterday, I did see a $25 roll of Martin Van Buren dollars.&nbsp; Since the wrap actually labels them as such, I assume these are uncirculated.&nbsp; I bought them on a whim (hey, face value exchange, no risk involved!) and checked out going market value for them.&nbsp; Often they are sold higher than face value, but the mint also offers these rolls with no markup and no shipping cost.&nbsp; Are people paying more for them on ebay rather than just directly through the mint being ripped off?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m still finding my footing in all of this.&nbsp; It started about a month ago with a desire to just find silver, but that has grown into a genuine interest in collecting for collection&#039;s sake, but also spawned an interest in generating some revenue for bullion purchases by finding coins others want to pay premiums for.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What&#039;s the scoop on OBW rolls in terms of both collecting and profiting?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cheers in advance,</p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
