Stumped...What's in the box?

I am in the process of culling my hoard on Ebay and found a sealed box from the Mint and I have no clue what's in it. I have the order number on the box but it doesn't match any of my orders back to 2008 (I don't think it's that old). It starts with 200246xx. Tracking is toast because of the time passed.
Fullfillment/Memphis shipping so not that old.....and SmartPost so not a biggie
Any ideas?

Open it up! Or send it to me for Christmas, lol.
Any other numbers on the box?
What was the postage/mailing date?
How about something useful like the size or weight of the box? Picture might help.
That can't be the order number on the box, can it? We're not up to 2002xxxx, are we?
How about you sell it as a mystery lot on ebay?? Might be fun..
Open it or sell it as a 'mystery package'.....BST or ebay....Cheers, RickO
It does say "order #" ...loose items inside...it looks like I wrote the "4" on the outside....had to be a reason why I didn't open it...not my SOP
The only other sealed Mint box I have is a 2006 20th Annie ASE set in it...
eBay listing:
"Mystery box from the US mint. ESTATE SALE!
Never opened, I have no idea what is in it.
It could be CC dollars from the GSA, gold commems or even a roll of one ounce American Eagle Bullion.
Who Knows?
It could even be a very scarce 1965 SMS!"
Go for it!
Opening bid is only $15,000!
No returns, no returns, no returns.
Yes, note: No returns."
Any questions? All replies will be: "I have no idea"
Note: Estate sale!

I don't think SmartPost delivered any of the above....
I wonder if the carrier who handled it could tell you where it came from. its just an idea and maybe go for it from there
Can the box be x-rayed?

I'm sure it can but it would just show circular metal disks.....a.k.a "coins"
My mind is non-complex but I think you just have to open it.
Can't be too old.
The number and size of the disks may give a clue as to what's inside especially if it's x-rayed from all sides.

I am definitely leaning towards that option.....just can't figure out WHY, of all the orders I placed, this one was left unopened..
Probably four ASE's but that would not fit my SOP....
It might be me but what's the delay? Just OPEN it, already! LOL Sorry, the suspense is killing me. Besides, there might be another container inside the box?
By the size of it, it might just be two PCGS blue slab holders?

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.F' it ...it's gonna be opened....NOW....or....maybe wait until Xmas...wrap it up and leave it under the tree..
Ok...kinda embarrassed...but...found out that the order number on the outside of the box has NOTHING to do with the , ummm, order number which was USM06413781 ...a little more recent than I thought and with a free spirit Kennedy wandering around the bottom
It could have been a lot more embarrassing than that!
Smitten with DBLCs.
Gold Eagle stippling dies.
Had it ready to sell or to FS slab and the sticky fell-off.
Still going for a “pretty penny” on the bay. Haven’t checked the BST.
Those Kennedy’s were (still are?) a hot item for registry players and Kennedy collectors.
