Quite true Peter. Certainly if you want full guaranteed rolls of the coins then RAM rolls are the only way to be sure. The quality of the coins in those rolls is what we were talking about though.

If I were to find a single roll with current coins on either end, I'd open it, as I agree with the above.

However, The rolls I have sourced have been in sacks, weighed and sealed. When they are all 'new' I have a fair degree of confidence in the roll's contents. That is not to say that it can't or hasn't happened, simply that I have never, ever had a problem with (new)security company rolls when acquired in bulk.

I'll re-post my previous experience with the APEC $1. I bought a security bag of $1000 in rolls. I opened all of them, examined each under a 10 x loupe and kept 40 GEMS (no bagmarks, no nicks, well struck. There was not one other year coin amongst them.

I have done the same with 2004, 2005, 2006 and other $1 coin rolls. I have opened 100s of other denominations as well. Never found a coin, that was not representative of the entire lot. Lots of errors but no dodgies.
