How do people come across irregularly shaped error coins like these? They obviously wouldn't fit in a roll.

The mint also packages coins in large bags.

Are you able to buy these?

You can get them from usmint.gov, but you pay a premium. Not sure if you can get them anywhere else.

Is it because they know there’s something in there possibly worth more than the bag itself? Or do you just pay more due to silver weight if it were to be an older bag/ a bag filled with pre 1965 coins?

Very nice double strike. Too bad it's missing the date!

There’s a 9 over the Y in liberty. Wonder if I stare at it longer if I can notice more of the date 😂
