<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 452979, member: 68&quot;]I used to spend a lot of time looking for gems and variaties issued for circulation.&nbsp; It&#039;s hard work and you often won&#039;t find much of anything at all.&nbsp; The trick is to look for really nice coins in circulation and then trace them back to the&nbsp; bank they came from (just ask the clerk what bank the store uses).&nbsp; But some years you&#039;ll see only a small handfull of nice coins and they might not be traceable.&nbsp; You&#039;ll end up doing a lot of heavy lifting and running around.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It was worth it for me overall.&nbsp; Today the opportunity is probably far greater since this will be the only source for gems in the future and few people are doing it.&nbsp; Without the many gems always available in the mint sets the huge demand now days will have to turn to the singles and rolls set aside.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I keep asking around to get rolls of new dimes but this has been getting harder and harder for many years.&nbsp; Even back before 1984 some banks simply wouldn&#039;t cooperate.&nbsp; Once people quit setting aside new coins in 1965 the mechanism for supplying the coins simply began failing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
