<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 210210, member: 66&quot;]I just don&#039;t understand the modern collector.&nbsp; You have a coin that is stamped out in high speed presses, spit out into a hopper, dumped into another hopper, vibrated to get the coins to line up for feeding, run through another high speed edging machine, spit into another hopper, run through a vibrating riddler, run through a high speed counter into a bag with tens of thousands of other coins, trucked to the armored car services, dumped into yet another hopper, run through another counting machine and a rolling machine.&nbsp; Then the collector buys a couple of rolls of the coins that have been through all those high speed industrial manufacturing steps, and gets upset because his roll doesn&#039;t contain some MS-68 coins.&nbsp; (When you consider that the percentage of 68&#039;s from a years coin production amounts to less .001% of the mintage that means that on average one 68 will be found in evey 40,000 rolls.&nbsp; But by gosh there should be some in MINE!!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p><br /></p><p>So you want a better chance, buy more rolls.&nbsp; You buy four you have a 1 in 10,000 chance.&nbsp; Buy 400 rolls (that&#039;s ten boxes) and have a 1 in 100 chance of a 68.&nbsp; Get real folks if you get a 68 its just a matter of either luck or spending a LOT of time and money buying and searching boxes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
