<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinSwede, post: 65845, member: 1770&quot;]The date on the box has nothing to do with the coins being fisrt strikes or not. The US mint makes the coins, sends them to a company that puts them in rolls and the rolls are then sent to another company that puts the rolls in boxes. Nobody is tracking any &quot;first strikes&quot; when transferring the coins between the companies, so there is no way to know which boxes contain the first strikes. The first coins struck at the mint may still be sitting in a corner of the mint, waiting to be shipped to the roll packaging company together with later strikes These coins will then mixed in the rolling machine so each roll may contain one or two &quot;first strike&quot; coins, but there is no way of knowing. Then the rolls are mixed agan when they are put in the boxes, so how can you tell where the first strikes are? Certainly not by looking at the date on the box.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
