Electric_Op_Ltd Valued Member United States 183 Posts	Posted 07/11/2009 02:13 am This is a good question. To rephrase, is any special care taken when the mint wraps rolls? Have they been "handled" less? I'm curious as to what others' experience has been. Me, I've never broken open a mint roll LOL Bruce Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 07/11/2009 2:15 pm I would think it has been handled less because for Stringers (the bank rolls) there's the extra step of being transported in bags to the rolling company. Report this Post to the Staff
Greckel Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 07/11/2009 2:20 pm I agree with wd1040. I think Stingers have slightly more damage some of the time, but it is almost unnoticeable. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/13/2009 5:53 pm The coins wrapped in the Mint paper are wrapped at the same location where the local Fed Bank has their coins wrapped in String & Sons paper. The coins for the Mint rolls are shipped in the exact same type bags. There is no difference in the coins and reports go both ways, some people find better coins in the Mint papaer while others find better quality coins in the Bank rolls. So you can truly say there is no real quality difference. Report this Post to the Staff

They all are the exact same coins packaged by the exact same people just in different type of wrappers. The same counting machines are counting both roll types out of the same bags Report this Post to the Staff
