<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sholom, post: 604183, member: 17753&quot;]FWIW, every couple of weeks I order a box (reasons below).&nbsp; The quality s, more or less, your average uncirculated.&nbsp; For example: I purchased the $15.95 8-coin pres mint set -- and the coins in the &quot;direct ship&quot; rolls were just as high quality, some even better.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for why:</p><p>1.&nbsp; Instead of taking out cash at the bank for those little odds and ends (chipping in for a gift at the office, lunch money to kids) -- I prefer to spend the $1 coins for a variety of reasons: I get into some good conversations, I educate somebody about US coinage, kids love the attention when they spend them, etc.&nbsp; Further, I agree with the sentiment: to increase circulation of coins over the $1-bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; I charge it on my credit card, then get the cash back.&nbsp; (OK, well, that&#039;s not really a reason, as I only get 1% back, but, hey, it _is_ a free $2.50 for every box I order)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
