I like these.
These boxes were used by banks at the end of the 19th century through the first few decades of the 20th century to store and transport gold coins from bank vaults to teller windows. Lonson Boxes have wooden inserts that allow for easy storage

Those are cool. Even better full.
Pretty cool, thanks for sharing. Of course seeing all that gold makes me want to buy some. Just can’t bring myself to do it while the markets are in weirdo mode.

More like a "$100,000 Gold Box"

I've never seen one of those before. It's really cool.

Way cool! I have never seen those before.
that would be a cool box to own. But they sell for $5-600.
The original gold monster box.
thanks for sharing. That is awesome !!

That's really neat !
I've had a couple of gold coin canvas bags. They were little things, maybe 5x3'', with a bank name and $500 printed on them.
Wow, that box is awesome and it really looks super cool when it has all that gold in it.

I have a single Gold box for a $5.00 cornet coin. I also have the gem mint coin. It was a gift for my mom in 1930. I have never seen the boxes that you are showing. my coin is mint but ungraded.
Kennedys are my quest...
Sounds like you have some great memories with that coin, I like that

Nice!
I have never seen those boxes before... all the coin shows I went to in the PNW and never saw one. Very cool. @1630Boston ....Thanks for showing them....Cheers, RickO
Mine are still full. I use them as doorstops.
That reminds me of my hundred ounce silver bars.
Painted black and laying under the workbench.....No one looks twice....
Please post a photo. I love these kinds of things.
No, but suddenly I need one.
I imagine those aren't easy to come by.
Collector, occasional seller
Wow. I need one of those for my clad half dollars.
