Mint Ship Date

I bought a box of 10 2008 W Silver Eagles and I was wondering when it was shipped. The Mint Ship Date is: 008048. Was this box shipped on April 8, 2008? I am confused on how to read the mint ship date.
Thanks,
Joseph

    Sounds like a DHL shipment. Do a quick search for DHL ship date and theres a formula to decode the shipment date. They use the Julian (sp?) calendar best I remember.
    I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.


  • I did a search and cannot find any information on a formula to decode it.

  • That is weird because they did not ship them in February.

    Most likely a box with USPS tracking number shipped on 04/08/2008 they also have DHL logos on them. I have gotten a few like that.
