That's utah for you..my last 9+ boxes have been exactly the same. I even saw a box that was end to end brand new 2001... I passed on it hoping it stayed sealed and not released to torment usl

I bet the bank that ordered it for you is thankful that they spent money ordering it and spent money sending it back for you. Always take it, or you will end up upsetting the apple cart.

This is actually a box I didn't order- went in asking for loose halves and the teller said she has a full box- I'm sure they ordered for someone and that person didnt come pick up-

Ok maybe not the worst but Seriously at least a 1/4 of the box was 2001- most rolls had at least 5 shiny new rims with several having more than half the roll- I did pull a very shiny '87p that's my 1st one of those

:coffee2: I wouldn't count that as a "worst box". To me any worst box is not only being a skunk but being short in the coins in it. Ex: having $498 instead of $500 in it. My worst skunk box was short $3.50. That p___ed me off. I'm not happy about the skunk boxes, but it's part of the hobby but being short on top adds insult to injury.

Ya getting shorted several $$$ in a skunked box is the worse- but opening all those rolls and seeing so many shiny new rims wasn't fun-

If it was my box I would have grabbed it no problem, another hunter left it... I've picked up my own re-shipped dumps before

When I moved onto dimes my second box had all 2013 dates, all brand new. Recently had my best 2 Kennedy boxes (9 silver clad and on Franklin) directly followed by two with nothing, not even proofs or usable older 80s dates. Found Mastermind's 3/13 coin, though. It's what brought me to this site.

IAR, things could be much worse. I got a box like this before and was shorted on a few rolls. hope your next box has some Ag in it.

IAR if thats directed at me I like it 50

And ya I think that was close to the start of my 92box skunk streak- now I know better ;-)
