The Dreaded Teller #777

[Ag_Forager]

I've noticed that boxes of halves stamped with a particular teller number (777) are almost always skunks.

So here's the question... do you pay attention to these numbers? Have you noticed similar trends?

I pay somewhat attention to them, not statistically though. Over the long term I haven't noticed anything, although it seems others on here have. What I do notice is that if I have say an 8 box order the different stamps will be very different boxes, so they're absolutely related

I am not quite sure what you mean, is the number stamped on the bottom of the box? I've been getting a 4-digit code stamped on the bottom of my boxes for the last 4 months or so, and some codes are very skunky for me.

Yes, I'm talking about the numbers stamped on the box. The Loomis boxes in this area have two numbers on them. The first one (can't remember what it's called) is four-digits long. The second is a "teller number" which can be anywhere from 1-4 digits long.

I kind of pay attention to the numbers. There are some numbers that have been associated with skunk streaks, but then a couple weeks later that same stamp will give me a couple of good boxes. I seem to find silver from all the box stamps at some point or another, so I don't really focus on it too much. Well, at least as long as it isn't a brink's box.
