<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sio2ga, post: 2584096, member: 83570&quot;]I noticed an ebay listing for a mint sealed box of P&amp;D 2014 Kennedy halves and the listing said that the seller was told that the mint started making the halves on 2-06-2014 at 10:30 am. The box of mint roll P&amp;D kennedy halves had a time stamp of 10:32 on 2-06-2014. They were asking for a crazy price of $150 for the mint sealed box&nbsp; of a roll each of P and D Halves that normally goes for less than $70.</p><p><br /></p><p>Searching around I found another listing that had the time stamp of 09:56 am for 2-06-2014 so that obviously means the guy was wrong about when they started that morning. Then I got to thinking, that with P &amp; D mint marks in the same box, those two mints are in two states far apart and there&#039;s no way that the time stamp stands for when both coins were minted! Possibly one of them, if for instance one mint had a pallet of coin rolls from the other mint that they put in the box as they struck coins. So I am wondering if anyone knows what the mint process is? It could be that the time stamp simply shows when the 2 rolls of coins were packaged and has NOTHING to do with the time they were minted? They could have been boxed later at a third location than either mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>If that&#039;s the case, that kind of shoots down the ebay sellers idea that his mint rolls are worth extra money because of the time stamp. I emailed the mint website asking what the process was but I&#039;m not optimistic that they will answer me with useful information.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know what the process is for packaging the mint rolls of halves and if the time/date stamp signifies the time they were minted or just the time the rolls were boxed?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any insight on this........</p><p>Rodney[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
