Was this box sealed when you received it?

No, the box was open when the teller brought it out from the vault. In hindsight, that shoulda been enough to decline, but I all I asked about was to ensure the right number of rolls still therein.
Finished the box. No silvers (duh), but I got 7 NIFC, 4 of which are hole-fillers and two of which have magic marker marks (one says "buffalo boy").

i would say either someone cashed the box in and they sold it to you or it was a bank employee, the cash vaults wont release them like that, at least not in my three year experiences..

My first thought - as soon as I saw your photo and before I read your post - was someone looking for silver! I first thought as well. Lazy edge searcher. I hope find several proofs and mostly NIFCs... their loss.  |

You never know I got an unsealed box once it was about
half CWR rolls and half bank rolls.
I found over 80,40% in that box all in the CWR rolls.
I have seen rolls like yours before also several boxes of rolls that were very neatly re-rolled in the bank wrapers.
Like Arby got awhile back.

Hmm, did a little net searching and found that buffalo boy is a half dollar CRHer who marks halves with "buffalo boy" on the obverse and the month/year of marking on the reverse. My reverse is 2/15. What is a bummer is that this is a 2002-D and not a 1971-1976 half. I wonder if this comes off . . .. Kinda like marking bills with the Where's George stamp, but not having as strong of a way for tracking. To each his own.   |

To each his own I have a 1974 IKE (high condition) but it is counter stamped with a #4 next to the (D) mint mark. Can't bring myself to get rid of it. Looks GEM to me. What a shame on the doer of this deed. |

 Would acetone be something to consider? |

That really ticks me off to see that coin defaced like that. How rude.
