[QUOTE="cladking, post: 71154, member: 68"]I confess I haven't been looking at many rolls in recent years but the people who do are telling me that there is no real difference between the types of rolls. Gems and varieties are issued by the mint at random and might appear from any source. Marking is caused at each stage of handling and it doesn't matter if the mint does it or a counting house. The mint rolls may already have some premium in some cases (like the nickels) and may develope a premium in others, but this will be determined by demand. Collectors like the mint rolls so they might be more likely to survive and end up more common in the long run. Some specific rolls will be found to contain some- thing special and will be destroyed in large numbers. Generally it's probably wise to avoid paying a big premium for any sort of pack- aging but there always seem to be exceptions to such rules.[/QUOTE]
