    OP, I'll bet there are folks here who know what's inside just by the case.

    I would bet against that. Based on my previous posts and avatar maybe.

    Never received anytthing in an amazon package. Pleased to see they have the this side up in the form of two arrows on the side of a package this size. Might be an indication of possible doubt that a recipient may not know what side of the toast the jam is on... Just a simple observation for a Tuesday...Or have we just set the bar too low?

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    @Flatwoods I'm curious, will you be housing them in the same box or keeping them separate?

    I will put the medals in airtite holders.
    It makes me feel better about handling them.
    Even though they will shatter when dropped.

    Yes, I agree. Thank goodness it wasn't an old box with Bowtie Fantastics in it.
