Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 71563, member: 112"]Conder makes an excellent point - you don't know for sure what you are getting when you purchase a bank wrapped roll. You might get a full roll of Uncs - or you might get a partial roll of Uncs. But that's not the reason people on ebay pay more for the rolls that say US Mint on them. They pay more because they mistakenly think the coins are of higher quality than those found in bank rolls. People believe what they want to believe. And you can tell them forty eleven times that the US Mint does not roll coins - and they'll still believe they do. And you can tell them that the mint ships every single one of the coins out in a bag that weighs so much it has to be placed on a truck with a forklift - and they'll still believe that the coins in the US Mint roll are of higher quality. And for that reason - yes indeed they will pay more. I would never dispute that - I'm not blind, I see what happens on ebay. And ya know what - 10 years from now, they'll still be paying more. Because they believe what they want to believe.[/QUOTE]
