Re: BU Roll Market Perking Up.
Only partly true. I did notice a lot of those XF '19-S quarters were sucky at best. Some of the grading was questionable and some had problems. But you go to the largest coin show and offer $1000 for an XF 1969 quarter and not have to buy a single one. The chances of a specimen at FUN is less than 1 : 20. In a typical year… -
Re: BU Roll Market Perking Up.
@Elcontador . How to identify the gem coins is a key point. Do you have the grading skills to recognize a pop top grade coin etc.? I am not judging you, just don't know your grading skill level with these; and he has repeatedly stated grade is everything. good luck, james -

You're also making the same inferences in this thread you've made repeatedly which have absolutely no relation to reality.

BU Roll Market Perking Up.
I'm seeing a lot of strength in modern BU rolls the last few weeks. I've been seeing a ballooning number of BU rolls for sale at retail. The retail pricing is staggering. Not so much that they are all high (average only a little less than 175% bid) but that some of the rolls are at extreme prices. Now this is translating… -
Re: BU Roll Market Perking Up.
It requires a remarkable amount of work to assemble such a set dependent on difficulty of finding coins and luck. I'm guessing some of those dates are less pristine nor as well made. There was no real mechanism even to add contacts because so few people were even looking much less focusing on quality. I have no doubt that… -
Re: BU Roll Market Perking Up.
1% of production was well made as evidenced by the fact that 1% of roll coins were well made. This means the mintage was around 5 million but only .02% of these were saved. Very little sifting was done because for one people weren't saving rolls in those days so obtaining them to sift was almost impossible and more… -
Re: BU Roll Market Perking Up.
No, that's the way it used to be. In the old days (pre-1975) coins didn't circulate randomly for numerous reasons but chiefly because the mint and FED made no effort to rotate stocks. Nice high grade coins backed up in warehouses or vaults and just waited to be fed back into circulation. Then to compound matters coins were… -
Re: BU Roll Market Perking Up.
My AI wrote out a long almost perfect synopsis generated by the previous post it's accuracy to my intended meaning was remarkably close. but it made one tiny oversight I'm sure it wouldn't mind my sharing. "a collector with discipline a willingness to buy quality when others ignored it and the ability to store it properly…
