Welcome. First of all, please find Caps Lock on your keyboard and turn it off. Secondly, you are correct. The SMS coins some from Mint Sets, and Business Strike coins are found in rolls.

I don't think Chad was too tough on the new poster who I also welcome here. In my experience it is quite difficult to read text that is all caps and I would pass over a longer question without comment if all caps were employed. In my opinon, Chad was simply letting the new member know that it might be best to use lower case, too.

Welcome, BWM!

 

What exactly are you looking for?

The reason you have problems finding non-SMS coins in slabs is because they take extra care with the SMS coins so they are much more likely to be found in the higher grades. Since many people just chase the number and don't pay as much attention the SMS part it is easier to supply the demand for high numbers with SMS coins. (But you will notice that when you find a high number with a non-SMS coin the price is MUCH higher usually.
