Hit a few banks I passed today at work and picked up two boxes I ordered also.

Road trip loose got me one 67.

Box one-skunk
Box two-skunkish
It was a full box of new 2000 D. Weird thing was is they had a stamp saying they were inspected aug 30 2008... Why would a box be inspected 8 years after they received it. Opened a few tails tails rolls and sure enough all 2000 D.

Thoughts?

The Fed has "new" old coins bagged up and ready to go as needed. I mostly see 1996 when that happens to me.

Exactly, it used to happen to me too. 95's & 96's were hot for a while. If Brinks (for example) get low on halves, they put in an order with the nearest fed. institution. Many times they will ship out large bags of brand new coin from years ago. Then Brinks will package (roll & box) them for the banks placing the order. As they ship them out, they inspect the boxes and stamp them. Then, WHAMMY! You get a skunk box.

Hey Cherryman,

You might be able to sell those rolls on ebay for a small premium if they are full uncirculated rolls. There are plenty of collectors out there that buy uncirculated rolls of all denominations.

Yeah, I'd probably try to sell some on ebay and I'd hang on to a roll or two anyway. I can't help myself though. I keep the circulated proofs and I've kept the only newer NIFCs that we've found.

Kindest regards,
Kantuck
