Looks like a Brink's box to me. "Fed" boxes are twice as long and not double stacked and are brown cardboard with yellow print. IMO.

Searched 2 more fed boxes over the weekend and zero silver. I'm ready for a "hot" box.

ppaw: don't give up, keep searching. We all go through hot and cold spells. When everyone reports for weeks on end that there is no silver, that's when we know we can stop...

Cole;
I got a box like yours the other day. It was just a bit bigger, so that the rolls don't fit as snug as usual. Under the front flap is a 3 part illustration showing how to 'open' the PLASTIC wraps. Mine were in paper, but I'm thinking they might be changing to plastic. I hope not. The only place that I can find half wrappers is at banks. Unless your bank accepts loose coin, this will be a pain!

Up til now I've only ordered and then dumped one box at a time, but I'm eager to start doing 2 box a week and maybe even 4 depending on my free time. The only way I've been dumping so far is to use the free coin counter in the lobby, but I can't imagine dumping $1000, or especially $2000 in halves every week. What is the best way that you have found to dump $1k-2k weekly without getting hassled out the door? I realize I could come up with a list of 8 banks with coin machines ( which in a smaller town like me could prove difficult ) and dump $500 at each of them bi-weekly, but I'm looking for a more practical/convenient solution. Thanks!

I dump $1500 a week at the same bank, and their coin counter is not self serve.

I just picked up a Fed box from my regular bank and I can see 2 1968 and a Benny on the ends of rolls!! Great after my skunking last week. I'll post the full results and a picture of the Benny if I have time.

Has anyone ever said anything to discourage your visits? I noticed on the coin machine I always use it says Customer Use Only, No Businesses. In theory all us dumpers are customers, especially if you have an account at that bank, but I can see how someone might confuse you with a business if you bring in so much every week. Is this a national chain or some local bank? If national, which bank is it if you don't mind me asking?

nice, a bennie on the end is really cool, wonder what else is in there, I'm going through a fed box right now I picked up yesterday and it appears every single roll has been opened and resealed. Gosh Darnet! pretty sure its going to be skunk. Which banks do you guys get your boxes from? are they sealed? It seems like I'm getting boxes that are already looked through cause I asked the teller where they came from and she said it came from another bank!

1951
1952

Kennedys
1964
1967 x 3
1968-D x 2
1969
