<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4843491, member: 105098"]What is special about the monster box is that it's been sealed up since 2004 and now cracked open while there are plenty, plenty of other bullion silver Eagles that have been traded back and forth for 16 years. Look at the pictures of it on this thread, there's 500 coins, in 25 tubes, tightly packed, strapped up and sealed in a big Green box. </p><p>if you are a person that cares about condition those are likely gonna be "mint fresh". In the end its no different than any other slabbed bullion silver eagle of similar grade and year but people like slab labels, I don't care, but people do. I think the shipwreck coins are ugly and would never buy one but people like a catchy label for an otherwise damaged coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said earlier it's a labeling gimmick really, People like labeling gimmicks though and will pay extra for them. Not everyone, but they don't need everyone, just a couple thousand out of 330 million people to offload some dealers forgotten back inventory he couldn't sell and got stuck with that was collecting dust. Hahahaha. </p><p><br /></p><p>It's probably what happened though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
