[QUOTE="sio2ga, post: 2584456, member: 83570"]The more I think about it, I think you're probably right. Now , if this were just one mint, it would be pretty easy to indicate time of minting provided that the coins came out of the machine in rolls ready to pack. The person packing would just print a label for the box and the label would have a time stamp. I say that from having worked in a factory making rolls of plastic. But this box has product from mints in two separate states so it doesn't seem like the time on the box label would have anything to do with the time the coins were minted but rather just the time the box was packed like Conder suggests. Will it be okay to post a link to the ebay listing here? I almost bought into the sales pitch on this, and if he had only been asking ten or twenty bucks over the usual price I would have went for it without giving it all this thought. I would like to learn what the process is on this though. Another point is that I assumed the mint rolls would have coins in better shape than in the 200 coin bags. If these are shipped in large bulk bags to SF to be packed into rolls then the opposite might be true because of the extra handling.[/QUOTE]
