The box I got this week was not only a skunk it only had 49 rolls in it. I guess I will start opening them up at the bank to take a peek if they are all there first. The box was completely sealed when I got it it was just one roll short.
Worst box, skunk box 33 and 72 of 99 boxes searched. Not bad. Best box? A taped, jumbled up box that had ONE EXTRA ROLL in it. I have to wonder if someone got a box that was jumbled and taped with a roll short. If it was you, I'm sorry. Don't worry, the extra roll was a skunk......LOL

My worst was a complete box of all the same yr and mint coin.
They were all 200o p halves...the stinker is I had to open them all to send them back through the machine.

Ugh, I've had those too WG. Enough of those probably contributed to ME searching half dollar slots instead.

I had a nickel box once that had an extra coin loose inside.

I've gotten a 16 coin roll once, but never shorted a whole roll.

The worst skunk box I got was 100% 97p / 98d halves that probably came from a casino. this coins looked like they were acid washed or something. No reeds left on the edge, every coin looked faded/worn. A really boring box to go through.

I too have gotten the 16 coin roll, but not a roll missing. I hate the pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters or foreign coins (damn british penny) in place of halves..the Un Peso really sucks. However, finding Chucky Cheese tokens, plastic Pokemon pieces and the infamous guitar picks are not fun either.
