“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.” - C.S. Lewis
Lol. I know I've been cured. I'm just not sure of what...

They were gone. They are now back. But when you were calling out Freddie, they were no longer visible. It is not uncommon for them to pull listings that violates, we see it with counterfeits all the time.
I accept your apology. I was right. Freddie and you were wrong. It was a search engine glitch. It wasn't two completed sales that were canceled and now reinstated.
These weren't counterfeits. They didn't violate the TOS. You guys rushed to put me in my place, and it turns out I just might know some things, and you're not as sharp as you think you are.
They do violate the TOS. You, yourself, have called them a lottery.
I tire of this. I'm going to just ignore you. The thread is yours.
WHAT? You refuse to have the last word? I am shocked I tell you. SHOCKED!!
Let the last person who writes to this thread be the fool.
I don’t care if I end up being the fool, I already consider myself a fool for spending so much of my time on this topic lol.
(Carried over from the other thread) @jmlanzaf i understand my figures may not be completely accurate but without picking nits that doesn’t really change that The “rare”/best coin from both of those boxes, unless I missed something?, wholesales for under $100. I just thought that the “rare” category would have a little better value than that, and I feel that it was rather unfortunate for him. I don’t have a pitchfork in my hands, I’d like to see more results.

Littleton made me wary of the unknown approval young. It was an effort to pay for what I wanted to keep. My folks did not support my buying stuff through the post. The penalty for an undesirable lot was asking for, pilfer, or get cold caught with a purple four-cent lincoln and an envelope. I put the returns in my neighbors’ mailbox. (My ma never abandoned the depression mentality.)
It is marketing that targets people who enjoy taking a risk, and at the worst jacking up compulsive risk takers.
Were I knowledgeable I would be a sucker. I live dangerously enough, I buy raw coins and put them in flips without crushing the staple.

Egads! Staples!
I bought a cinch stapler 20 years ago and sleep better. It staples flat, no need to crimp it down.
Here's a real discussion from 3 days ago that was never posted on the forum yet. Pretty refreshing compared to the other Vaultbox videos which seemed promotional in nature. Looking forward to seeing the sequel if they make one.

The eagles have landed! Let's try to have a little FUN! (at my expense).
I weighed both boxes with my not so great scale.
Which box, if any, is the most valuable??
Use emojis below to cast your vote:
Agree: Box A (11.58oz)
Like: Box B (11.51oz)
LOL: Neither, your a fool
Assuming you guys don't get this thread shut down (like the other 2), I will post the contents of each (for better or likely worse) after work.
I agree with @DeplorableDan's assessment, and I too am looking forward to seeing your results. I hope you get a red core/winner and VaultBox should too. As I said in one of the other threads, VB really needs some regular Joe's to start pulling winners or it will look like the fix was in.
After you're finished opening your boxes, be sure to visit the other thread and submit your haiku or limerick to the poetry contest.
I haven’t checked into the board in awhile so have been out of the loop. This looks really stupid to me, and I hope not many fall for it. There were “mystery box” auctions on eBay for awhile, and they finally got banned. Same thing here.. the sellers are laughing all the way to the bank.

Looks like I wasn't the only one confused by the Out of Stock status!! See this update on the website:
**Please note “Out of Stock” is only a placeholder and will be replaced at the scheduled release time above

Out of stock
No worries even if it wasn’t a place holder. It would be easy to make more. Common date MS69 silver eagles are easy to come by. I’d happily sell you three NGC MS69 silver eagles (dates of my choice) for $500 and you could pocket the extra $100.

Not sure what to make of the weight differential, but who cares. Red core gold in both!
Nice pulls! Out of curiosity, would you mind weighing each of the empty boxes? I thought it might be possible that the weight difference existed there.
@silversurfr said:
All that said. 9.9 (69) on moderns is kinda booty.. if your listening VB, 10 or bust on moderns.
Serious question: does bullion generally count as "Moderns"? Besides, 69 is pretty darn exciting on business strike moderns.
Yes, bullion is modern. And no, 69 is not exciting on coins that never enter circulation, like bullion that goes right into tubes, without ever banging around in bins or bags.
Pretty much every graded bullion coin that is not a 70 is a 69. They have value to people conditioned by telemarketers to believe they have value, but to wholesalers, they don't. And that is why the Instant Offers are right around raw, even after taking into account the magic value attributed to the slabs and labels.

You were right. The plastic boxes differ by about a gram+

Seriously, I am so happy for you. I did tell you to stay positive right?😉😎

That is really cool. For statistics geeks like me it would be interesting to see the odds of getting two out of two red cores.
