2012-SW 1 Dollar 1-oz Silver Eagle 2pc Set NGC MS69 Box #6

Green Monster Shocker!

If we told you that the federal government keeps Green Monsters under armed guards, you might think we were talking about aliens being held in Area 51. But Silver Dollar enthusiasts know that their beloved American Silver Eagles are actually released from the treasury in 500-coin green plastic boxes, nicknamed Green Monster Boxes. As the U.S. Mint starts to strike new Silver Eagles each year, they carefully place them in monster boxes, seal them with a yellow band identifying the branch mint that struck the coins, and then label each box with a numbered label. Well, in 2012, when Brilliant Uncirculated Silver Eagles were being struck both by the West Point and San Francisco Mints, we were able to secure matching Green Monster Boxes from each mint - BOTH bearing label #6! Because the BU Silver Eagle does not bear a mintmark, this kind of sealed, government-certified evidence was the only way that Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) could verify which Silver Eagles were struck in San Francisco and which at West Point. Now, thanks to our savvy purchase of matching #6 Monster Boxes, you can own a FIRST EVER in history: a matching pair of 2012 Silver Eagles, certified to be near-perfect Mint State-69 (MS69) coins, bearing NGC labels which certify which branch mint struck them AND certifying them as coming from "Mint Sealed Box #6". It's the kind of 'first ever' pedigree that collectors wait their entire lives to get their hands on. Don't miss out on this opportunity!
