This was the program where the mint sold these at face value, and even paid the postage.
My YN, TrainNut, is going to search the rolls for no edge errors and "pop tops". Dad gets the CCard miles on Southwest.
Here's what the rolls look like. Quick shots with the Nikon Coolpix:

but the other part of my mind is thinking god, those are ugly
coins and the dollar bill will have to disappear before i ever
consider using them in day to day transactions.

I got mine a few weeks ago, earned my CC rebate and have already spent about half of the 500 I got. I have barely even glanced at the design and have not even bothered looking for errors.
<< <i>Did they just get dropped in your mailbox, or did someone have to sign for them? >>
They were just dumped in the "overflow" box in a group of locking "cluster" boxes. The locks are the dime store mailbox type. No signitures, shipped by DHL to my local post office for carrier delivery.

<< <i>wow - so do you pay a premium for those rolls from the mint? >>
Nope - face value. Ordered from the website, but it was hard to find. Got the tip from these boards.

<< <i>Are they P's or D's or mixed? >>
TrainNut has looked through 5 rolls, all P's, no pop top candidates or missing/double edge lettering.

<< <i>Why not spend an entire pay check? It face value, and you don't lose anything. >>
You're right, but the order limit was 500 coins. I would have ordered more to get more miles!

I would have placed an order. Hope they do it again. Now that I am in the USA again, I've tried getting dollars at a couple banks... no joy.
(I did get a bunch of $2 Bills- good tip fodder.)
My bank happened to have original rolls of George Washington dollars a couple weeks ago
so I bought about $150 to check. Nothing. Between those and the $500 box of halves I got weeks
ago I'll spend the JQA dollars eventually
with all dollar coins and halves!

And the most important part is the shipping is F-R-E-E!
These actually cost the US Mint money to get to you which is a weird little twist...........
The name is LEE!
All of the coins were P mints and most had lots of bag marks. There is also what I call the mole chin variety, but it seems pretty common... about one in every 10 I looked through.
I didn't find any with missing edge lettering, but good luck on your search!
Worth keeping!
