<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2954270, member: 68&quot;]Well, I don&#039;t find the coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know for a fact that there are people hunting Gems and varieties in original rolls and finding both.&nbsp;&nbsp; They are finding varieties that don&#039;t appear in mint sets so they must be original rolls.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A have a different way to look than most people.&nbsp; Rather than making high offers and calls I just look to see what&#039;s out there and I don&#039;t see many rolls from after 1964/ 5. I used to be very close to these markets and didn&#039;t see them in those days either.&nbsp;&nbsp; I saw what came into coin shops and there just weren&#039;t any rolls other than cents, a few dates of nickels and a few other coins with spotty availability.&nbsp;&nbsp; There were no collections in folders or albums of post-&#039;64 coinage.&nbsp;&nbsp; Virtually all moderns seen were mint issue and in those days there were tons of them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I seriously doubt even the roll searchers can come up with some coins like &#039;69 quarters.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are lots of these rolls out there but they are always mint set coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>People forget that a lot of the older rolls had some pretty steep premiums back in the &#039;70&#039;s.&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course this was in the days before most of the mint sets were cut up and swamped the demand.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now the mint sets are almost gone and we still live in&nbsp; consumer economy where one rarely sees collections of moderns.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m really just the &quot;pretender to the throne&quot;.&nbsp; There are lots of experts in modern now days and I was not the first.&nbsp; Probably people of the likes of RS Yeoman, John J Pittman, and Herbert Hicks were the real kings of clad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
