[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1068455, member: 24633"]Welcome to the neighborhood, Shooter! First, the Red Book holds a wealth of information, but do not go by the prices listed. Fair market value is sometimes considerably less and closer to wholesale prices. When you're asking about the Sacagawea, do you mean the original design that was introduced in 2000 and ran until 2008, or are you referring to the new design which was introduced in 2009 as the Native American Dollar? In either case, you cannot get rolls of proof coins in any denomination from the Mint. You must buy the entire proof set containing all of the denominations. However, that doesn't mean you can't find rolls of single-date proofs. Quite often, dealers order large quantities of the proof sets and submit them for bulk grading. Those coins that don't meet their minimum grade requirements are returned. So, it is possible to check with dealers in your area or some of the dealers who advertise nationally to see if they don't have what you need. The only caveat that I am compelled to offer is that if you are thinking of purchasing these rolls of proof coins as an investment and appreciation down the road, you would be better served putting your money into some other investment whether it's silver bullion, real estate or whatever.
