And I’d say eBay/the internet are the future of coins/collectibles. I’m not sure where you live, but on the west coast from SF north, the number of dealers with brick & mortar shops is about one tenth of what it was when I was a kid – just too expensive to operate and limited exposure. I understand the problem with eBay/the internet, but you have the same problem with unscrupulous dealers that have shops. Granted, one should be a little more careful on the internet because some are under the misconception they have anonymity there. But there are many good dealers on the internet and it pays to learn how to operate there for the lower cost and added variety. Anyway, don’t want to turn this thread into an internet discussion, so, as far as rolls of satins go, they do exist. However, I don’t usually buy the rolls, as by the time they get to rolls, they’ve probably been pretty picked over. I buy roll quantities of sealed mint sets if possible and sometimes I find a roll that appears to have been put together by someone that wasn’t interested in the cents and didn’t pay any attention to them.[/QUOTE]
