Did you order it? If so, try searching the order number in your email provider.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
If I knew the order number, I could find it in my order history. I tried to search my mailbox to find an email that had tracking number, no go. I tried putting the tracking number into USPS to no avail.
I am trying to not open the box in case I want to have it as First Strike…or not.
There’s a number that says “Order #” on the screenshot you posted.

Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
Yup, except there are no orders in my order list that start with a 2….none.
Could you contact the mint with the order # and your contact information? Or the processing department.
Take it sealed to a show and let pcgs open it. You’ll get to see what it is and submit (or not) if you’d like, and PCGS will look at the invoice slip to determine first strike status. Simple
The postmark date would narrow it down somewhat.

Somewhere on that box is going to be a date when it was shipped and/or delivered. You can try to map that to something in your order history. If that doesn't work, as others have suggested, you can call the Mint and see if they can help, either with the date or with the order # starting with the 2. And, if that doesn't work, then you are SOL, since, if you don't have records and the Mint doesn't have records, you are never going to get to someone in a fulfillment center with records.
Nope…no dates….
F.I.
Time to open the box….

Should have sold it on eBay as Vault Box #5

Isn't the first day of strike reserved for dealers only?
get on a flight with it and covertly get a pic as it goes through the TSA x-ray?
You would think, but no. Mike Kittle just posted a video opening a box clearly dated 1981 and it had five 1976 3-coin silver sets.

OP was concerned with 'First Strike', not 'First Day of Issue'.
'First Strike' rules.
'First Day of Issue' rules.
'FS' is available to 'collectors club' members; 'FDOI' is only for "bulk submitters".
The Mint over-produced the Bicentennial set and was still selling them long after the Bicentennial was over. Anyone know when the mint finally stopped selling them?
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

If I recall correctly their last appearance in the Mint catalog was in 1982.
