Still waiting for my wife to get home she has a video feed sent to her in text format. I've been on the edge of my seat all day. The executor commented "what's up with these coin people" I guess the other guy has been bothering him too.
Ok I saw the video not much info. He did say he would have to drive back tomorrow. Yes i know this could be a big let down but the suspense is killing me. I will post often as I learn more.
<< <i>I really thought there would be more interest in this thread. They went to open the safe deposit box today and the keys wouldn't work. Anyone have any ideas how this would happen. Tomorrow they are going to drill the box. I will know with in the hour the size of the box. >>
As long as you are interested, who cares?
Give me the phone number of the executor. I'll show you some real interest in your thread! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
yah, there's interest. But until there's a picture, or a description, or some info beyond, "I might get a bag of dollars", not sure what you expect us to say?
Hmmm... The statement David makes about looking through 10 million silver dollars seems hard to imagine. If one were to look at 3 coins per second, 40 solid hours per week, it would take almost 28 YEARS to look through 10 million silver dollars.
First, using your numbers, I think it's more like 4 years, not 28.
Regardless, a bag of dollars can be inspected in minutes if the quality isn't great. It's not like we're grading every coin. We're just buying and selling the stuff.

Today is the day. The way I see it with the bank closing at 12:00 eastern I will know something by then. I'm not sure who will arrange the locksmith. Any guesses as to what's in side?

<< <i>What kind of SDB can hold 1000 silver dolars
How do you know what is in there, could there be anything else? >>
My SDB could easily hold 1,000 silver dollars. It's not that big of a bag. >>
A $1,000 bag of IKE weighs 50+ lbs and Morgans are a smidge heavier. The bag could easily fit in a 10x10 box or even a 5x10 box but pray for the fellow the pulls it out of its slot because thats a surprisingly large amount of weight!
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
I wonder why a lock smith would be needed? My bank can open mine without my key. Seems that they have a Master Key. I know first hand, because I forgot mine one day and got there and the manager said no problem, and just used the bank key and a master key. He explained that my key was different from any other box keys and would not open another box but mine. But, the bank had the Bank key and a Master key that would open any box.
Hmmmmmm, how safe is that? Good thing that I personally know the manager!

My Mother had a SDB and when she passed away, we could not find the key, she had the box for like 30 years and we had to hire a lock smith to come and drill/replace the lock at a cost to us of $135 Modern lock boxes maybe this way, but the old ones still take two distinct keys.
Why didn't I think of that... oh well, the sofa needed to be cleaned anyway! >>
1. Did you use a vacuum? 2. Did you find any coins?
Back when I was a kid I slit the bottom out of our sofa in the living room in the pursuit of loose coins - and found my six months before lost Continental Currency $4 from 1774 in it's little holder - undamaged from it's adventure.

Maybe my bank manager had a "special" key! I really don't know the answer to this but this would certainly cost not only the box owner a bunch but the bank, too. As they would have to replace the lock every time this is done. My bank is relatively new to my location, about 5 years or so, and maybe the older banks had a different system. I have no clue.
Can't wait to see the results of this opening, however!!

Sounds like a bag of Morgans put away as an "investment" back in 1980. Ironically, it was "worth" more then. BTW, I wonder what the SDB fees are for 30 years?
Oh you tell me that you want to open me Yes you tell me that you care That tomorrow I'll be opened, oh But tomorrow's never there
Oh tomorrow never, never comes Oh tomorrow never comes Now you tell me that you want to open me, oh But tomorrow never comes
Many weeks now have I waited Oh many long nights have I cried But just to see that happy morning, happy morning When I have those Morgan dollars right by my side
But tomorrow will never come, oh no, no Tomorrow never gonna come Now you tell me that want to open me But tomorrow never, never comes
So tomorrow I’ll be leaving Yes tomorrow I’ll be gone But tomorrow you'll be weeping, oh But tomorrow will never, never come
Well tomorrow will never, never come Oh no, tomorrow ain't never gonna come Yeah, yeah, you tell me, you tell me That you want to open me, but tomorrow never comes
