I hope to never have it truly tested LOL. But the compound formula and thickness is what determines the temperature rating. And I do not have a picture of the bottom side of the lid, but it too has the same thickness as the sides and bottom of the box. In addition, there is a beveled edge to help shield the inside from extreme heat for an [undetermined] length of time. Most brand name fireboxes are not nearly rated for as high of heat exposure as this one. There is obviously a limit for a particular temperature and/or time exposed to some temperature that would cause it to fail. I have never put it through that kind of heat, mostly because a common house fire can be around 1100 degrees Fahrenheit. Quite a challenge to create temperatures near there.

If you know anyone that is good at working with refractory cement, a homemade firebox can be made to whatever size you desire. Courtesy of my brother…

At present, it is painted with high heat, flat black header paint. Rated for 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Made with the same refractory cement as the steel blast furnaces in Canada. Weighs in at about 55lbs+ empty.

It's been a long time since this grown man has cried. But this is just so beautiful...had to shed a tear.

If you know U.S. quarters...

It certainly is a statement piece kind of set!
Drop me a PM if you want to start up the monthly club and work towards the whole set!

All I took away from that was "asked me if I would like to play with her"

Oh, you are far too kind, thank you!

Love it!!!!!

@Mothballjim Did you say pocket piece or piece that came with its own pocket? 😆

Buying silver only in order to get more gold seems to me like such a roundabout way. If gold is all you want then just buy gold, I say.
I stack both gold and silver, and if I would feel that I have "too much" silver in relation to how much gold I have, I would buy more gold.

The silver I have feels like a ball & chain now. Bulky, heavy and space consuming. It was a good deal during the downturn but I fully intend to swap it for gold when the time is right. Gold is so much more efficient and reliable. Silver is good if you like a bit of speculating but gold is the better hedge against inflation. Just watching the GSR for the right time to swap.

I wouldn't do this in physical form, I simply think it would be too much trouble. However, I do have some digital tokens backed by silver, and some of those I would gladly exchange for the gold equivalent if the ratio went to 50:1. I think the wisest would be to exchange only a portion at a time, and then to see if the ratio changed further in the direction towards 40:1, and in that case be able to exchange another portion to gold, and so on. Ultimately, for me, the point would be to accumulate more physical metals.

Silver will not reach 50-1  without major force, the way to make money or profit is to swap out when close to, like when silver was under 70-1 as everyone waited for 60, or 120-1 when everyone was talking about 150-1... talk is very rarely achieved because some talking heads will always one up so you'd reach your comfort zone then everyone is talking about waiting till the next round figure....the only ones ever selling at round figures are the investment banks with automatic sell or buy orders...us mear owners are too slow to do that so keep it real and make money...a 70-1 then 120-1 sure beat a 67-1 and 128-1 tat you missed waiting for it to go to 50-1 and 150 - 1 and are still holding on to having made no profit but just horded...are we stackers or holders cos horders never make money, then just leave other people money.

My "personal" opinion is the fair value is 64/1, I stack based upon this ratio (about 15 Oz slv per sov). Recently I did sell a fair amount of 999 thanks to our cousin's across the pond and their hysterical silver squeeze movement (sorry). Most of the money went to gold and some into crypto (guess which one I am in profit with?). To answer your question, I will swap 50% at 45/1. Then 50% at 40/1, then 50% at 35/1 and so on. Also I am currently not buying physical just getting money together for next move (takes a while).

And loving those second cakes above.  I daren't ask how they tasted.

I’m actually really jealous. This cake looks amazing! The guys from the warehouse where I work made me a cake last year. Didn’t look nearly as good as this one. I’ll post it below, but be forewarned that in doing so, I may very well get my account suspended.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

If you don't hold it, then you don't own it.
Hmmm. That explains why my wife can't keep her hands off me.
