Many have reported that such deals are scams w/the boxes cherry-picked and re-sealed.

I know that I wouldn't buy one....

I would not take a chance on those either.

It's sort of like "unopened" proof/mint sets; they are easily re-sealed after being picked through.

The risk isn't worth it. If you opened one up and found rocks, you're stuck.

Those with no markings on the outside are the common 1882,3,and 4. Since the vast majority of these
dollars are MS 63 it is likely that is what you get. Of course there is a chance it is better or worse but
that is the gamble. I suspect most are unopened and unsearched but as has been demonstrated they
can be opened, looked at, and then resealed or substituted.

Let us know if you take the gamble with before and after pics....we'll be watching!

Is someone now making those GSA outside shipping boxes? They are on eBay every day. I find it hard to believe that there are still thousands of those floating around unopened. (besides the guy on here who has that whole table full of them.)

If you want the fun of opening one but not the expense try here:

I have bought several of these many years ago. I opened four of these about three weeks ago, and two of them had stickers on them from a dealers inventory type notes.
The other two were very nice coins, with one being at least a 65 maybe a six. The two with stickers.......... two of the biggest dogs I've seen.
I checked these boxes very carefully when purchased as I had the right to return them if I choose. Could see no reason to do so, and I have seen many GSA's
as they are my main focus of collecting.

I know it was not funny to you but I would have loved to see the look on your face pulling out GSA's with dealer stickers on them! Scammers will try anything!

Correct me if I'm wrong but it's my understanding that the plain ol' white GSA boxes contain the common CC's, 82,83,and 84.
I've seen 1885 CC's marked with purple type face for sale.

AUandAG

White, light blue and tan were all used for the common three GSA CC's. The better date coins had
a date stamp (like 1885) on the box. If it still is in a master box those are easily identified by the
outer mailing labels which has the date listed.

Jerry Sienfeld explains that a non-smoking hotel room means that currently no one is smoking in it.

Same with unopened stuff on eBay.
