The biggest attraction to them is that they are sold in two roll P&D sets which is not something you can get from a bank
B.I.N.G.O. ! .......
That's exactly right, it's the ONLY way for millions of collectors to secure BOTH mints......it's easy to get "one" mint from a bank wherever you live, but that's where it ends.
And for a "Ten Year Program" or longer, simply trying to trade for what you want, 5 times a year, for a decade or longer, plus shipping and handling/postage....is just unrealistic.
With the Satins going away, however, maybe one can go back to the old days, and secure both mints from Mint Sets.
But, to each his own.The "premium"
is worth it for the "Mint Wrapper", for several reasons. For some folks, those reasons do
not apply, for others, they simply
do.
And as long as there are enough folks in the community who realize this premium and desire it, there will always be a "
buy, sell, & trade" actionable opportunity with "Mint Wrapped Rolls" and/or roll sets.
And keep in mind too.....this whole issue is still in it's infancy really. It's not even "off the ground" yet. This form of collecting will be around, now, for decades and centuries !
It started within the State Qtr. program with being able to get "rolls" directly from the Mint.
It's "popularity" and perceived popularity, that will make them stay.
