ebay has a lot of statehood rolls from the U.S. Mint listed. Does anyone know if those coins have been pre examined for errors before they are rolled? Thanks in advance for any help.

As far as I know they are not pre examined. Odds of finding an error are slim now a days but you might find some varieties.

Yes those mint rolls of any denomination can contain errors . Every way that they were shipped from the mint in rolls , bags , boxes , bins , etc can contain errors .

Thanks so much! I am gonna test my luck on a few rolls then. Never know unless you try. These are the orange and black rolls from the U.S. Mint not the white and orange BU rolls.

With coins being issued in their billions into circulation, minor errors cannot be checked for removal. Expect to find them, especially in CRH'ing. It can be a happy hunting ground for the enthusiast.

Admittedly, I tend to be a bit lazy when it comes to errors.
That is why I only collect very major very obvious errors, which should ordinarily be removed by machine automatic means, before they are issued into circulation. Perhaps a few of them were deliberately kept aside by Mint employees for various reasons.

The error collection that I have formed consists of brokages, off metal strikes, broadstrikes, piedforts, trial strikes, wrong planchets, planchet clips which are very obvious to the eye, complete planchet laminations resulting in two half pairs, patterns, etc. Because of this approach, I have only about 20 very gross errors from all countries, acquired in perhaps 40 years of collecting. Probably half of them have been acquired on the international auction market.

Starting in 2001 I think the Mint started to upgrade their error sifting and we see a lot less errors. We still see varieties though. Most errors if not caught by the Mint will be caught by the third party rolling companies and sent back to the Mint. A Mint roll with the fancy paper has the same chance as the white paper rolls for finding errors/varieties, but the Mint rolls will cost you a premium. Good luck with your hunt.
