<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1519916, member: 36230&quot;]It&#039;s been my experience that coins from the high priced mint-wrapped rolls are generally no better than what came from OBW bank boxes, and in some cases they were actually worse. It&#039;s not as if the coins were handled differently, but maybe you got lucky, I don&#039;t really know. Also, if you have the more popular varieties, and unless you are absolutely sure a coin will pull at least 66 or better, I wouldn&#039;t bother. It&#039;s not as if its that tough to attribute the stronger LP2&#039;s anyways, so slabbing isn&#039;t necessary, especially considering cost vs. return.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t put much weight into so-called &quot;values&quot; listed on coppercoins or even on Wexler&#039;s site. While some may be realistic, most are not. I am still sitting on rolls of two LP1&#039;s listed on Wexler&#039;s &quot;best of 2009&quot; that he claims a value of like $10 a pop for in 63. Even though most would go higher, not since 2009 have I seen anyone willing to pay such prices, and even then... I also have a few rolls each of other varieties wasting space. Anyways, the point is that unless you have something truly special (read: high grade), even with the more popular varieties, I don&#039;t waste money on submitting.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>None are anywhere close to scarce, but relatively speaking, some of the lesser varieties are much tougher than the so-called &quot;big ones&quot; as they were discovered early, could be tracked by box dates, and were saved in huge numbers. In the long run, there will always be a supply of the major varieties. Its the minor ones that - if anyone wishes to find such coins - may be difficult to find since they are harder to identify and were not saved nearly as much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
