Can You Buy These Boxes for GSA Morgan Dollars?

    I know this is probably a stupid question because anything is possible. I just haven't seen these particular boxes being sold anywhere. But these people that offer unopened GSA dollars, if you can find the boxes, can just go on eBay, buy a bunch of $200 82 thru 84s and stuff them in one of these white boxes and claim they are unopened. Then the bidding often ends up well over $300 and you have made a tidy profit. Anyone seen these boxes around the internet for sale? No, I don't plan on doing this but I do like to search eBay for GSA dollars and I just had this thought while searching today.

    I doubt you can find the original government boxes the GSA dollars came in but a person can have some custom made by a box manufacturer. Yes, there could possibly be some of these GSA Morgan dollars which have never been opened but it is highly improbable. Anyone in their right mind would do the same. These have probably been re-boxed by the seller much like the guys selling unsearched cent rolls with Indian head cents on one end.

    Thanks, but I was asking because I see the "still sealed GSA Morgans" in the boxes they were shipped in, the white boxes, and wondered how many were resealed in a box to make it look like they were never opened.

    That's my point. It appears those are the same style/size boxes that the mint used and if they are then anyone can create "unopened GSA CC dollars".

    Or at least good enough ones to fool people on ebay.
