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

    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.

    that would be a cool box to own. But they sell for $5-600.

    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.

    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...

  • 1630Boston1630Boston Posts: 13,781 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Sounds like you have some great memories with that coin, I like that

    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.
