<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 2542072, member: 24091&quot;]I always thought the green ASE boxes were pretty slick, but had no idea just how common they are until recently.&nbsp; Even with 500 coins sold in each one, with mintages in the many tens of millions that&#039;s a lot of boxes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always thought the Canadian monster boxes were the best.&nbsp; Extremely rugged and in real bright colors.&nbsp; They are color coded for commemorative silver coins, so not all of them are the same color even for one ounce silver coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Naturally, for every box that gold coins came in, there are probably a hundred out there that silver coins came in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, here&#039;s my real question:&nbsp; I have five of the monster boxes for the United States 2016 Platinum 1 Ounce coins including the coin tubes.&nbsp; All of the coins went to the slabbers and the boxes and tubes are completely empty.&nbsp; The boxes are white, have a sticker with year and product information, and each holds 100 coins.&nbsp; Each box is about the size of a carton of Lucky Strike cigarettes. </p><p><br /></p><p>Last year&#039;s mintage of the same coin was less than 4,000.&nbsp; With that in mind, the small group of boxes represents perhaps 15% of the total mintage.&nbsp; Do you suppose they are worth anything?&nbsp; I keep thinking about cancelled dies and how the mint nearly had to give those away 10 years ago, and then a secondary market developed etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, would love to hear what you all think...,,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
