[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 702200, member: 112"]Ben can answer, but I'll say this much. Getting all the same date and mint in a OBW roll is a crap shoot. More often than not, you won't. Banks don't buy coins that way and they could care less. They just want coins. One's as good as another. And it used to be they got all their coins in bags - not rolls. They rolled them up themselves. So an OBW would often have not only a mix of dates and mints, but most would be circulated coins. This is especially true with the smaller denominations - quarters and down. Now in the more modern times, let's say the last 30-40 years, some banks would get rolls from their suppliers. But again, same odds apply. About the only coins you're gonna get the same date/mint in OBW, which aren't even OBW to begin with since they are rolled by the armored car companies, are the newest coins. Those being promoted by the mint and specifically sold by date/mint.[/QUOTE]
