Whats the difference?

[Close_Boys-migration]

I have been buying rolls of presidential dollars from my local bank at face value. They come straight out of the box and I am assuming are straight from the mint. They look like this:

 

 

I have been looking at the US Mint online and I see I can buy:

 

 

These cost me $35 for a roll of 25.

 

What is the difference? Arent they both uncirculated if they are still in the original roll?

 

I also see I can buy a box with 10 rolls of the first picture from the US mint for face value and freight allowed. Whats the catch?

 

Thanks,

The coins are the same...the paper is different.

Just paying for the mint paper.

[Close_Boys-migration]

at this point, would they not both be uncirculated?

[bsshog40]

Correct. Original Government packaging tends to make resale better than the bank rolls tho'.

There is no guarantee which mintmarks and/or Presidents you will receive. The Mint is trying to encourage people to put them into circulation.
