<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3040509, member: 112&quot;]The problem with paper coin rolls, any paper coin rolls, is that they are very well known for causing unsightly toning and even corrosion. </p><p><br /></p><p>About the only time it is even minimally beneficial to keep coins in mint labeled rolls - and bear in mind the mint didn&#039;t roll them a private company did after they received the coins in ballistic bags and ran them through a rolling machine, so they are likely pretty beat up to begin with - is when you plan to sell them that way, meaning still in those rolls.</p><p><br /></p><p>And while there are people out there who will buy these rolls, there&#039;s not really a whole lot of them. Some, will happen to collect rolls. Others will still buy into the idea that &quot;there&#039;s just got to be gem hidden in there somewhere&quot; - even though it is a near certainty there is not. And of the small number who will buy these rolls few will pay much of any premium at all. Nor is it uncommon for them sell for less than issue price.</p><p><br /></p><p>In reality, the mint selling coins in bags and rolls is merely a variation of one of the oldest cons there is - selling a pig in a poke. The truly amazing thing is that it still works.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
