Nothing could be further from the truth.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for who rolls what? As far as I know, NF String &amp; Son rolls ALL the coinage for the US Mint whether its destined for US Mint online sales of the Federal Reserve bank. They all get shipped via 2 1/2 ton Ballistic Bags and they all get rolled the same. Some with special papers and others without. Did ya ever stop to think why all the Presidential Dollar Rolls at your local bank actually have the Presidents name on them? </p><p><br /></p><p>The US Mint sends ballistic bags of Presidential Dollars to NF String &amp; Son Coins rollers. A set amount of these coins are rolled with US Mint Coin Papers which are then sent to the packager for sale on the US Mint Web Site.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bank Rolls, on the other hand, are sent via Ballistic Bags to NF String &amp; Son who roll the coins for shipment to the Federal Reserve Banks.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, US Mint rolls and Bank Rolls get exactly the same handling. Some of the US Mint sold rolls are in fairly decent shape while some are not. The exact same is true of the Federal Reserve Bank Rolls (which is what is purchased at your local banks). Some are really great while others are not. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ballistic Bags are 2 1/2 tons bags of coins. The coins at the bottom are junk. The coins at the top may be in better condition &quot;hit&quot; and &quot;scrape&quot; wise.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]219920.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Folks are certainly welcome to believe whatever they want but the sad reality is that usually, those &quot;beliefs&quot; end up costing them needless dollars as they are chasing dreams based upon inaccurate information. </p><p><br /></p><p>Rare? Hardly. Scarce? Hardly. Better Condition? Occasionally. Good Bait for a sucker fish? You betcha!</p><p><br /></p><p>As a side note, didn&#039;t some US Mint Rolls for Harrison have Missing Edge Lettering coins or am I mistaken. This could possibly account for the high price of the rolls as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
