Thanks Mishap, but that doesn't answer my question here.

you are right both of the rolls are the same coins and rolled the same just in different wrappers and the mint is just charging a high premium on them because they get away with it.

The true only difference is the wrapper the coins are rolled in.............

The roll I got from my bank appears to be rolled in the same wrapper as what the Mint sent me. It looks original. My question is are they of the same manufacture type? My guess would be the mint is selling BU's and what I picked up from the bank is a business strike roll. That's my question.

Exerpt from the mint
The Presidential $1 Coins currently being offered for sale by private businesses, often with a considerable mark-up, are the same circulating quality coins that will be available to all members of the public from their local banks and other financial institutions on February 15, 2007. These are not the proof or uncirculated quality coins that are found in United States Mint proof and uncirculated coin sets, nor are they official "early releases" or "first strikes."

What I purchashed from the mint was not a proof coin or an uncirculated set, it was just the $25 roll. Are the $25 rolls from the mint just business strike coins? If so then they are the same coins we can get from the bank in rolls for just $25 instead of $35 + ($5 shipping)from the mint.

no there are no difference in coin and no the mint is not selling all BU they do not search them. they just put them in the rolling machine and put them in the wrapper they are not pick through for the best ones. so you can open a roll from the bank and from the mint and the rolls could look the same or the ones from the bank could be beter so no they are all the same.

Thanks. By the way my Denver mint coins may not ship until May. (back-ordered). :( Since I now have two P rolls, I'm tempted to break one open and see if there are any smooth edge coins.

1 difference is that the roll from the mint will have the P or the D on the roll,where as the 1 from the bank won't,even though you most likely know from which part of the country you come from

Good point, I need to check my bank roll for a mint mark on the wrapping. I know my mint roll has a P mark on the wrapping. Can you see the mint mark on the coin without removing the coins from the wrapping?

The mintmark is on the edge, so you will not be able to see what you have without opening the roll. Unless you ordered from the mint in which they they have the marks on the outside roll. Otherwise, you would have to open the roll. |

that was discussed in another post and pretty much said that the only way was to open the bank roll to find out the mint mark

If your Federal Reserve district is east of the Mississippi, you can assume you will get Phillys. If your district is west, you can assume that you will get Denvers. This only applies to new coins from the Federal Reserve.
