I have never scored in a brinks box ( halves ) lol. picked up one of the 2 boxes I ordered and it was a skunk it was sealed paper tape from brinks but rolls had smashed ends like already searched. Ill get the other tomorrow, only search and dump 500.00 at a pop 3 kids and wife slow down anymore than that. teller asked if I wanted both plus a handroll (which hasnt been there long) but only had the 500.00 . Tomorrow Ill grab 510. lol after I dump and get them all. Id bet ya that one hand roll has more of a chance of a score than that whole box

Have had huge success over the years with customer hand rolls. Ill update tomorrow my failure or success......

Fred,
You search Brinks or Loomis or somebody else?

I went through 2 boxes last night and found 2 40's. One thing which was strange to me was that I found about 10 1971 half’s that looked straight from the mint. I haven’t looked at them under an optic yet but I was amazed at what good shape they were in. Once I get my loupe I am going to check them out. Hard to believe that a coin from 1971 could be in that shape unless someone unloaded a roll of them which they got in 71 in uncirculated shape. Even as common as 71 are, there must be some value in something that old that is in this good of shape? Anyone?
