<p>[QUOTE="cowseatmaize, post: 1043649, member: 28092"]Interesting? So what you get from the Mint for $15 or whatever is a coin that someone pulls out of a big bin that's been bumped into other coins. The person doing that may or may not be wearing gloves so it could still tarnish. All your really buying is the proof that it hasn't been circulated. Oh and a plastic capsule and nifty box. </p><p><br /></p><p> It sounds like your just as likely to get a 69 or 70 from a new roll. and then get it graded. Not that I'd pay for the chance. My moms B-day present in '82 would be worth more if she got that $10 roll instead, especially with silver as it is now. </p><p><br /></p><p> I better hurry up and have kids to leave this to. Maybe when they're 50 this will be worth something. They're probably all being melted as we speak so they may become rare (the coins, not the kids).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
