CWI date mystery

[TxTim]

I picked up 4 boxes of CWI penny boxes dated Oct. 28, 2008 -CWI #69 INSPECTED BY #XXXI.

These are from a bank and were bought on May 12.

Guess what? They were sprinkled with both types of circulated '09 pennies.

Were they pre-stamped boxes?

Obviously something is amiss....

You know one of the log cabin boxes that I got had a 2007 date on them?

Go figure?

I've got some from the future as well! Crazy, eh?

That's what I was thinking, or maybe it is just CWI messin' with us. The future date boxes are a little strange.

I think it's time for them to be audited.

The stamp is supposed to be a measurable accounting of that particular individual inspecting a given box on that given date.

Between incorrectly stamped boxes and the number of rolls, we find when opening sealed boxes, being tampered with (previously opened and hastily re-rolled) warrants these companies are lacks in their quality control.

IMHO

When I saw the log cabin penny box stamped with the 2007 date I assumed it to be human error setting the small hand held adjustable stamper.

Are you sure that the 2007 wasn't a "weak strike" 2009.

Just a little coin collector humor there, rimshot please.

I assumed my future dated boxes were human error as well, since they were back in January 2008, but were dated January 2009. I figured someone over-rotated the dial to set the date and didn't pick up on it right away.
