I have been getting a mix of Brinks boxes and what I would consider generic boxes from a third party rolling service for over 6 months now. I do between 15 and 20 boxes a week give or take. Both are two tier boxes. See pic. Brinks on bottom and generic box on top.The "generic" boxes are delivered by both Brinks and Garda in my area and do produce a fare amount of silver with a good share of skunks which is to be expected. From the very start of getting both types of boxes I noticed that the brinks rolls where what appeared to me as someones dump rerolled and the boxes are sealed as though they would be straight from brinks and all of the rolls are machined on one end and closed by hand on the other. All the boxes I get are ordered from the banks and not just picked up by chance that a bank that may have a box in the vault of someones box dump. The only problem with my theory of being rerolled is that every once in a while, maybe 1 in 5 boxes I will pull a 40% out of a box and the one end appears to have been closed up by hand not machine. The questions I have are is anyone getting brinks rolls like this and still producing silver? Are all Brinks rolls machine wrapped tightly on both ends? Last but not least, can anyone put a delivery service name to the top box? If anyone would like to post pics of the type of boxes and how they produce for you and the delivery service for those boxes this maybe helpful to everyone here as to how coin is moving though the system and which boxes produce better in different areas.

In general, I get NF string and son wrappers from Dunbar, and they are usually nicely wrapped but not as tight as the random loomis rolls that I get. Those things are tight as heck, hard for me since I re-roll. Every now and then I get Dunbars that are very sloppily wrapped. I used to think this meant they had been searched until I started finding silver in them. IF I find actual pre searched ones it's very obvious, they look just like the sloppy job I do rerolling them
