we get the brown rolls here from brinks but they are coin rolled on both ends. yours look like mine AFTER i have gone through them and put them back in the box. Looks like you might have gotten someones dump box. Even though its sealed does not mean they were not resealed in a new box by brinks. Just my thought. I asked the teller at one of my dump banks what they do with the halves I drop and she said since it was a full box it would be sent back to brinks.
 

That's what my rolled dumps look like too, but all yellow wrappers...
 

Some of the banks I visit roll their coins in wrappers similar to those. Rolled tight on one end, then after filling the bank employee folds it over, some banks have a gizmo that semi rolls the end. Won't take long to check them out. Even if part of them are someone's dump, doesn't mean part of them aren't great grandpa's rainy day money.
 

You can thank a newbie for that one. I think this is listed as a CRH rule, if not, it should be. If you must reuse the OBW then don't return them in the box. Use a shoe box or something else.

It looks like someone dumped a Loomis wrapped box in a GARDA/Brinks area but I could be wrong. I would try ordering from a Loomis supplied bank since you have a hunter dumping in your pool.

Better luck next time.

The box was sealed? That's new to me.. I've never seen that.. They must be getting lazy at the sorting facility.

It doesn't matter what box I bring the coins in with when I dump. They take them out of the box and put the coins into plastic bags to ship out. Or they just let me do it. The box is just a vehicle to bring the coins into the branch where the box is eventually disgarded.

SF BAY YOU hit right on!! All the banks I know dump them into bags and then they ship out to get machined packed in to the boxes. Thats why I was shocked to recieve it in three years of doing this. I will let you know if any thing is worth the wild.
PS I dump mine all in coin-machines thru 3 different banks no more bagging or re-rolling.
 

Looks like a re rolled dump to me. I've run across this before, but not often, maybe six boxes in the past couple of years.
The courier service just glues the box back up and delivers it again.

I have been getting boxes like these for the past month (about 20 boxes) with a few machine wrapped boxes in between. I would complain but I had three huge boxes that contained 77 silvers collectively from boxes with CWRs in them so I am going to wait it out a while until I say something. I was told by a branch teller that banks save money by shipping boxes between branches rather than ordering newly wrapped boxes. :thumbsup:

You are right that they should bag them and send them out but some branches and banks just send the entire box back with the carrier. I have received boxes with routing instructions written by other branches i.e. (Branch xxx did not intend to order please return to SFAB). The more I think about the above picture it looks like the carrier just boxed them up straight out of the bag since the flat boxes usually have the yellow String and Son wrappers. At a minimum if you are going to reuse the wrapper at least mark it up so they will think twice about re-boxing.

when i dump a whole box like that I mark the rolls so I dont get them back. I dont order from any of the banks I dump at as I have seen another person dumping there too.
 

I disagree with all of you.

I've gotten these rolls in full boxes that looked exactly like what the OP posted, but even worse. I've been mad as a hornet when I first opened these boxes. I was sure they had been searched, or were someone's dumps.

But the truth is that the only silver I've ever found in half boxes were just like the one pictured. The first box like this produced one '64, and 6 40%'s. The last box like this one produced a single '63 Ben!

I mark my rewrapped rolls too, just in case. It just takes a second.
 

Those are someone's dumps for sure
