    Do the time and date stamps on the end of the Mint's boxes have any significance? Is it just the time when the product was boxed? Some comparisons might be interesting. My LP2s where ordered the evening of the 14th, arrived today, and have boxes marked 10:38 4/30. I'm sure its unimportant, but sometimes curiosity gets to me.

    as far as i know, it is indeed when the items were boxed, and have no bearing on when the coins themselves were minted.

    some sellers like to make folks think otherwise, and some sellers do indeed think the same themselves :)

    well we know that the coin were minted prior to the time marked.

    With a "star". Cause, you know, it has been determined that was a time of exceptional striking operations at the mint......

    And the box quality. Crisp, well defined, no major marks, straight stamping on the label....

    It's similar to the Born on date on your bottle of Budwieser.
