Didn't say they would, just that that would be my offer. (And I have purchased mint sets for below face value, so it is possible.)

But see that doesn't make sense because a roll is $10
From a dealers point of view it does make sense. He is in business to make a profit. Buying the roll for $10 will tie up capital, probably for some time it he is trying to sell them for the "retail value" of $11.50. Possibly long enough that the return on investment will not cover the loss of purchasing power in the money he receives. So you offer $9 and if they take it you can immediately make your profit by depositing the roll at the bank.
What the offer is really saying is that you don't want the roll and that the seller would do better spending them. But that if the seller insists I WILL make my profit.
