Yeah Joe , those are pretty nasty bag marks . And like coop says : finding MS-67's or 68's are like finding a needle in a haystack .  |

T-BOP, I could not believe all the coins I unwrapped that had scars on them but after watching the video, I am not surprised at all. Also, like you said, I can see why the higher graded coins are so desirable. Have a great day.

If you order mint sets to get better coins, save your money. They use the same coins that go into rolls. They look just as bad as what you find in rolls.

coop, thanks for the heads up on the mint sets, I had no idea about that.  |

I bought some in 1999 thinking they would be better. I could get better examples from OBW rolls than from the sets.

I just suggested that because you said you ended up with all 2016 coins. I see you've got a system now, cool. I wish my bank had a coin counting machine. It would also be nice to get coins in bags, but no banks near me offer that. Oh well.

Most places just have them rolled or get them delivered. (probably from coin star outlets)

I'm pretty sure I've heard people on here talk about getting them in bags at their bank. I could be mistaken though.

The bags I get from my bank are $50 bags and I've gotten quite a bit of copper out of them and also some really clean, shiny ones from the 50's and 60's. Always fun to go through them, kinda like Christmas.

Yes, I bet. When you get them from the bank, you have a chance to get some crazy off-centers that you'd never get from a roll.

Sweet-talking the tellers goes a looong way. I too have found a bank (finally) that will take in the coins, count them and mail a receipt of deposit all without any charges. They treat it like a customer service, businesses bring in their coin as well as customer's their jars. The only thing they won't do is let me buy the collected bags, even if I wouldn't protest a short count bag, darn! They got "rules"!  |

I bring an assortment of donuts to the bank once in a while. They are especially happy to see me when I walk through the door carrying a box.  |

After 2000 they started the pallet bags and then get sent to the wrapping centers. (they are told to return error coins) The error coins are still being found though.

The video said the bags weigh 2,000lbs. I can imagine the number of coins damaged if one of those bags gets a good jostle.
