<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 328380, member: 66"]Simple answer is they get them from the banks. The dates when the president dollars are going to be released are known well in advance, and any bank can order solid roll boxes of the coins during a five or six week window centered around that date. So the banks can have the boxes in their hands two weeks before the release date. Then on the first day of issue you can just go to your bank and pick them up for face value (assuming your bank has decided they are willing to fol with them.) walk them over to the post office and ship them to PCGS with that days postmark. You do that and you can get the FDI designation. In the case of the large bulk submitters, they have banks that are willing to order large quantities of coins for them. If your bank decides they don't want to fool with the coins are only orders a few and then restricts how many you can have, then you can only get singles slabbed as FDI.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
