<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andrew289, post: 538809, member: 6463&quot;] </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial">I recently decided to collect the Presidential dollars, and I&#039;d like to obtain a $25 roll from each mint for each president, mainly as something to eventually give to my grandkids. I bought one roll of James Madison’s, uncirculated, the wrapper it&#039;s in is by String &amp; Son. These were purchased at my bank for face value. I have no idea which mint they are from, it&#039;s not on the wrapper. Since my bank is in Calif, do I assume they are from Denver? </font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><span style="color: blue">Yes.</span></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial">Also, after checking around at a number of other local banks, I can’t find anymore. Each bank says to order from the US Mint, but the Mint charges much more than face value, so do most sellers on eBay. </font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><span style="color: blue">You mind find a dealer at a coin show who will sell you a roll for a lesser premium but be prepared to pay over face value for previous president rolls.</span></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial">Is there any special value to buying rolls from the US Mint over the uncirculated ones rolled by String &amp; Son. </font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><span style="color: blue">No ..same coins. You just pay more for the wrapper with the mint logo on it.</span></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial">And when buying a roll, if a seller (such as on eBay) claims the roll is from the P or D mint, how do you confirm that if the wrapper doesn’t indicate, and the roll is unopened? </font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><span style="color: blue">You can&#039;t ...you can only hope that he is telling the truth.</span></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial">Once you have a roll, is there more value in keeping them in the wrapper, or taking them out and storing them properly?</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><span style="color: blue">For me, in the wrapper is proper storage (untouched by human hands).</span></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial">I apologize if this has already been discussed, I didn&#039;t have any luck finding the thread. Thank you for your patience as I learn my way through this new hobby!</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
