About $25.95 cents a roll

this has come up before.

those who search both mint rolls and direct ship rolls have indicated no difference in overall coin quality.

The only difference may be the mint pays shipping for direct ship lots.

plus the wrapper and packaging.

the DS rolls are in the same red/white/blue wrappers that come from the bank.

With Direct Ship rolls, you get P or D.
Mint's choice. Price is right....

Quality is the same. I had some top pop coins come out of direct ship rolls.

I then circulated the ones that were not so nice as they requested!
