  Thanks guys. Over a year ago I was looking at a number of those auctions and thinking they sure looked bogus.......or at least easy to fake.

  I still have one I bought from you, GSA. Maybe you should have autographed it.

  gsaguy - Heritage just sold a couple of GSA dollars in sealed boxes in its March 2011 Sacramento auction. One box was yellowish, and one was white. Neither box had any marking or stamps indicating what date was contained in the box. The yellow box sold for $747.50 with juice and the white box sold for $862.50 with juice.
  
  Heritage #1
  Heritage #2
  
  Question for you: Is there any way to tell what possible dates are in the boxes (if they are unstamped, unmarked and without shipping label) by the color of the boxes?

  Who in their right mind would sell unopened boxes or rolls when there is a chance that a very valuable coin might be sold for a fraction of its true value? Such sales
  are almost always frauds, sometimes with rocks, washers, or fakes in the box, but more typically the items have somehow been opened and resealed (all types of "mint" boxes, envelopes, tape, labels, old paper stock, old roll paper are available) OR in the rare case of actual unsearched sealed items (such as proof sets) , a sample number have been opened and found either to be ordinary or ugly, and the seller thinks they can make more money by hawking the possibilities of DCAMS galore or rare varieties.

  Frank, this time I actually 100% agree with you.
