Casino vault boxes (Box #2 update)

[Immy]

Still here at work and I couldn't resist peeking at the rolls of box #1. Three have silver on the end including ole Ben! Decided to drive myself crazy with anticipation and not open up anything until tonight.

Must....resist...temptation....

Gotta love that anticipation. Good luck on the box! By the way, what is a casino vault box?

Re: First casino vault box looks good!

I mentioned it in another post. The cage manager at the casino where I work was about to send $6,000 in halves back to the bank since we're going coinless. I asked him if I could buy them and he said sure.

And wow, I hope they're all this good! My first big score of the year -

Two Franklins: 1954 & 1960-D

Fifty 40%ers:

1965 - 4
1966 - 6
1967 - 17
1968 - 17
1969 - 6

...plus a 1974-D Doubled Die, a 1974-S proof, a 2002-P and a strange 1984-D that sounds partially hollow and has a 90º rotated reverse. It's probably counterfeit. And the 54 Franklin looks like someone used it for BB gun target practice!

Can't wait for boxes #2-12!!

That's it, Raptor gets first shot cuz he called it!

The thing is, I'll have to tell the vault manager that I got skunked or he'll snag a box or three.

Re: First casino vault box looks good!

Kudos Immy ! You've already exceeded Geraldo...after just the first box.

I'm keeping a good thought for the remaining; and look forward to the updates.

Very nice totals. I would bet that 1984D you found is not really hollow, but one that was taken apart like they do for making the double heads and double tails coins, but for some reason they put a heads with the tails. I have found two double headed coins and they both are lighter than a regular half and both sound hollow.

You're right Wayne, that's exactly what this sounds like. The rotated reverse made me think of that possibility too.

Got box #2 sittin' next to me. No silver showing on any ends but it's the same date stamp as box 1. Results later...

Take a look at that 84 with a magnifying glass bet you can find the cut.

Any update Immy?

Re: First casino vault box looks good!

Just finished box #2 and it's back to reality.

Only one 1967 from 1000 coins, oh well. I did get another proof (1972-S) and seven post-2001's: 2002-P, 2002-D, 2003-P (x2) & 2003-D (x3).

Got a feeling box #3 will give me an indication of how the rest of the haul will go. Gotta dump these before I get it though.
