    I'd be about as tempted to "plunge" into a septic tank.

    Even if someone might have flushed an 1893-S Morgan.

    So it's a carnival game wrapped around a lottery of sorts.
    Someone should start a thread about what they received and what their thoughts are for the money, you know like reviews:p

    Utube has plenty of revels and about 1 out 50 you get your purchase price back!

    I'm going to jump into this one. I registered an account this morning.

    I've wasted a LOT more money than this in my days....with nothing to show for it. I figure the odds of hitting a decent one are better than any lottery odds. I used to frequent casino's quite a bit and spent a lot of money there, too, and walked out empty handed. At least with this, you're left with SOMETHING in hand.......even if it's called a "lesson learned" coin.

    The boy and I on our last ski trip watched a show where they were opening boxes of sports trading cards, under these same conditions. I think the thrill of opening the box should be worth something. I'll have him come over for the "reveal".

    Then, you want to revel in the reveal review.

    I see.....

    I’ll spend my $399 on a nice coin.

    I've watched most of the series 3-6 unboxing videos. Most lost their shirts on the deal. One U.S. collector even said, "I'm disgusted."

    So... this did say ONE coin per box, right? Each $399 gets you a single scratch-off, which might be the 1893-S Morgan, or might be... a nice MS69 (sorry, "9.9") random-date ASE?

    "And if winning means he has to spend $399 on a $50 coin, he'll spend $399 on a $50 coin. No fear, no regrets."

    I'm embarrassed that this is associated with coin collecting. The Hobby of Kings reduced to suckering people into buying generic bullion graded using a moronic grading scale that I've yet to see a single person ever use.

    Yeah! Because in the entire history of the Hobby, there has never ever never nada upso nyet been any flim-flam or sucker plays, or dishonesty or criminality involved in the Hobby Of Kings.

    I wonder how many are straight out of China's rather good die makers production?
    Like sticking your hand into a snake pit to try and pick up a costly coin. It is worse than Vegas in my estimate.

    Naawww... I totally get what @BuffaloHunter is saying. I carried my daughter to a casino last time I went home. I gave her a Benjamin and one for me. We walked out with nothing but the laughs we shared. I think bringing his boy over for the thrill of opening the box will be memory enough for the both of them to recoup their investment.

    I get with vault box your paying for the entertainment value of opening up the box.
    Old world GrabBags...a type of gambling with a Cracker Jack prize.
    I'm not a participant, I'd rather buy what I like and leave the gambling to the blackjack tables :p
    YMMV:D
