That's ruff man, I definitely went through what you just did. A few weeks ago one of my intermittent pickup banks accidentally ordered me 8 boxes instead of 4. no prob with me! those boxes were all stamped July 2011, the best had 7 enders, the worst 1. at $27 an ounce silver I obtained over $800 worth of silver. my first ben ender (x2), and my first walker. Best boxes I ever had!

Ever since then.....one 40% per every 2-6 boxes. This has gone on for three weeks since this time. Dang! Isn't that weird how it works?

Good to have a fellow academic on this site

Maybe I hit the wall lol. Time will tell. I have weeks like this every 2 months or so, and then it picks back up. Only reason I had so many to do was because I was on vacation the week before and did not tell my tellers to pause the orders. Next week I am back to my usual 9-12 boxes.

Yep. Skunked all through August until this week. My source must have needed to wrap up a new batch because last week I was getting re-wrapped boxes and a different type of box than usual. Everything was back to normal this week and only one skunk box.

these brinks "cube" boxes were not sealed either so i imediately knew it was a dump. How did you get a sealed garda CWR box? aren't those the flat boxes that you can't open without ruining them?

the boxes i got today had actual flat style coin wrapped coin rolls instead of a bad crimping job with the MWR's, i guess this person had enough time on their hands.
