BadThad-I will be opening all but 5 rolls.Two rolls I kept with H/T and three rolls with the trail die showing on the end coin,although they are damaged by the wrapping machine. I have been finding anywhere from two to six trail die coins in each roll so far.You called it an "ultra gem coin",please tell me why you think that.Thanks. kaubhai-What do you mean by "nice snaps"? 52Raymo-Nice link,also check out http://traildies.com/Thanks for all the interest everyone.

Interesting that the mint won't sell rolls on line, but they provide them to banks.

I can confirm John1's findings about how new coin makes it in to circulation. I've found new cents in S&S wrappers and Brinks plastic. I've found boxes that had solid rolls of 2012 mixed with regular rolls. I usually just edge search plastic wrapped, looking for clips or ender errors. I often go ahead and search the wrapped looking for all errors/varieties but occasionally, I just give them back to the bank. The other day, I purchased a box of nickels and noticed they were new when I got to the car. I also noticed that one of the rolls was only half full. This was prior to opening the box so I just went back inside and asked for a new box. I wonder if I messed up there. Might have been a good opportunity for some kind of errors or something.

Here is an update for those who care. 177 Trails that I kept and about 20 or so that were damaged that I let go. 24 Dimples that I kept and a bunch that I didn't keep because of condition issues and that there were a lot of them. I also kept 80 that were in high grade and eye appeal. John1 |

Another update. Decided to go through the 80 above average ones and ended up keeping only 5. I noticed that the rest had at least one ding or some bad rubs on them. John1 |

Just got the coins back from BJ. He said that the ones I thought were "dimples" are indeed and are EDS.The ones with trails on "OF AMERICA" are to weak to list.The ones that I gave away to CCF members is #010T as I though but wasn't sure. Just wanted to keep you guys up to date. John1 |
