Just saw a fantastic offer from Jimmy G on TV

Wow 20 Ike dollar proofs in a roll
5-1971
5-1972
5-1973
5-1974

For just 535.00 dollars. I love Ike but not that much.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

    Why would you even want proof coins from a roll; what are the odds of getting a 69 that way?

    << <i>Why would you even want proof coins from a roll; what are the odds of getting a 69 that way? >>



    thank you Bajerfan! I always wonder this when I see "rolls" of proofs for sale.

    correct if I'm wrong, but the Mint NEVER puts proofs in rolls right? Not even for dealers.

    so these are all pulled from proof sets, etc and assembled into rolls? Never!

    Correctomundo; never heard of the mint putting out rolls. I'm assuming that rolled proof coins come from sets that have been opened and cherrypicked for the nicest coins, tho the mint did issue proof Ikes separately.

    Unfortunately, many do. What's worse is that when you try to gently tell them that they're getting ripped they DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!

    Sorry- I just had a bad experience with something like this with a fellow teacher's husband who wanted to show me his coins. How do you tell someone who proudly displays his collection that he's getting fleeced?

    Start by explaining to them there is a reason why the coins were that convenient to purchase (from TV). Convenience factor has much to do with whether you are getting a deal or not. Where to go from there I do not know.
