I ran by a bank that orders boxes of halts regularly on my way to pick up my daughter. Yes they had a box so I took it of their hands.the teller opened it for me to see it and I spyed what looked like a silver half. I took it out to the car and eyeed four enders. There are six more on the bottom row.

The company that delivers the coins is Garda, until recently they were ruffly cube boxes with yellow writing on them. For the last two weeks they have been in boxes with brown ink. When they switch back to the brown ink my first box had 19 clad proofs. They were nice but obviously no longer in proof condition, most were really nice however.

The same thing had been going on here, but I thought they (Garda) were delivering repacked dumps, so I stopped ordering from banks serviced by them. I hadn't gotten anything good in months from Garda, though. Last time I ordered I got cube boxes with olive wrappers and some boxes of repacked dumps with wrappers folded over. I think they were all cube boxes instead of the flat boxes I used to get from Garda. I found a 1909 S Barber half in a Garda flat box once.

I noticed the wrap switch about a month ago, the black wraps havent been as good. Aprox what part of the country are you in? Im in Illinois..

I am in Florida. Maybe they switched the wrapper supplier nationwide? They are still using the same boxes that say on the side that the coins are in plastic wrappers when they have always been paper.

My gut is telling me that the cube boxes that "discuss" plastic wrapped coins even though I have never seen plastic wrapped halves are generally better than the cubes with yellow lettering. I thought that even before I picked up this recent box. I have been wondering if they are from different facilities or something the brown ink cube or cubes with yellow ink that is or even shipped in from out of state.

I hear you, just four more coins and I would have had a dream box. I guess, I will just have to deal with the disappointment, some how!

I have never gotten a cube box with yellow lettering. I have gotten one with black lettering instead of brown (from Garda I think), but only one. When they are not repacking dumps, Loomis uses flat boxes with yellow lettering from N.F. String & Sons, and Garda used to use flat boxes with orange-yellow lettering but now supplies repacked dumps and cube boxes with olive wrappers that yield nothing, and usually the box is sealed with tape and has a barcode sticker on it (black text with yellow background). The boxes also often have writing and long division on them...

Wait, this is from a Brinks box? It must be all made up.
