Message:: [QUOTE="Douglas, post: 195579, member: 617"]Subscriptions are great, I have been using them for years, Proof Sets, Mint Sets, Proof ASE's. As far as getting Prez dollars from your bank, in my opinion it depends on what you want to collect. I don't think you are going to be able to get both mint marks and I have serious doubts about getting the different Prez's as they are issued. As soon as the initial frenzy wears off, banks are not going to keep ordering coins every three months, especially if they have stock piles on hand from previous issues and no place to unload them. Don't forget, banks are not in the coin collecting business, they are in the service business to provide for their customers. Same thing when the Sac's first came out; I got UNC rolls for awhile and then all of a sudden they were rolls of very used coins, which by the way look rather nasty color wise. The good thing about banks is you will not pay a premium, you'll get 25 coins for $25. Bottom line, if you want UNC rolls of each mint and each issue, a US Mint Subscription is the way to go; I'm hoping they will offer subscriptions. Just my two cents, thanks, Douglas[/QUOTE]
