No special wrap, but no difference in coin quality. Seems the banks aren't giving out many un-circulated rolls of any denomination these days... unless I'm missing something...  |

except this - to wait a half a year to get a discount in $4 ?  Remember my story in 2013?! I ordered the 50 cent roll in Feb from the mint. By the time they delivered the roll six months later, it had been available from dealers for months and was even on sale a few times. Order from the mint and you might still wait half a year for delivery and not save that $4.  |

Quote:I have a question for you, please: Do you keep the 50 cent rolls (as single item) or break them for the separate coins? If you keep them - what is the best way to insure their mint condition and be able to see/display it - does some clear plastic tube exist that roll can enter into it? Added question: Do you know, from which year RCM started to distribute (to sell) 50 cent rolls? And how they (rolls) came prior the first year of distribution? Great questions. I would love to know as well. Anyone? |

For many years you could get a roll of fifty cent pieces from a bank just like you get quarters or nickels now.
A few years ago they stopped making them for general distribution/circulation so it would be a fluke if you found any at a bank and it would be likely stuff from 1968 - 1995 or so.
Now they make limited quantities. Most people would order from a coin store or the mint.
I think I'd rather buy one for two or three dollars instead of buying a roll for a dollar each. I don't need twenty-five of them. I doubt they will ever become valuable - I am just filling a spot in my album.
