Where can I get uncirculated versions of current US coins for about face value, excluding mint sets?
I am interested in uncirculated presidential dollars, the new nickels, and other new coins that are being released. I want to collect these in albums and I am not interested in buying mint sets and breaking them up. I also do not want to pay much more than face value, if possible.
Since 2005 the mint sets have not been made up of just uncirculated coins but coins with a special satin finish. To get the uncirculated coins made for general circulation you need to go to local banks and see what they have. In the end you may need to go to several banks to get all you want at face value. Remember if you live in the east your chances of getting coin rolls of Denver mint coins is slim to none and if you live in the west, getting Philly mint coins is the same. You can also check to see if a Federal Reserve bank is near you there re 12 through out the country in large cities such as Boston or San Francisco. Some do offer new coins direct to the average person. Hope this helps.
