Storage of your stack

[kimchi]

@augur WOW!!!

[Bumble]

If you browse around antique shops you can often find old wooden boxes of various sizes. I've come across everything from Victorian jewelry boxes to travel trunks.

Is this your latest tax collection Augur? Very much remind me of when they'd go around and do that! ?

[StackerNoob]

You can buy safes that in no way look like safes. I wont go into too much detail but search around for inconspicuous safes and you will be surprised what is available. I've seen a safe that is made out to look like a washing machine.

Monster box for me but am waiting on a peli 1300 for ease of handling and security

A storage setup like this should be fine:

Though of course you may decide you need some extra firepower:

It gives you a sense of how people were paid by weight for a job...

... it didn't matter what size of coins were in a bag for as long as it reached the weight (here 1.08 kg of sterling silver)

Ah right I thought they would ask for something like 20 silver pieces? Did they carry around scales or just if it felt the right weight?

I thought for everyday business you were paid a certain amount of certain sized coins. But for bigger jobs you would just feel the weight. Maybe just me being romantic; I'm sure that the excitements of accountancy were already known in the Middle Ages  

A wad of cash isn't really lighter than gold (even £50 bills struggle to compare to a Britannia), and space wise in any case. Much easier to count, too.

@Big23 @fehk2001  While you two are 'cock jousting' I will raise the stakes with my Bren gun

I would've thought as soon as they started putting a value on coins they'd ask for so many threepence's or so many sixpences etc?

@Big23 more than likely it’s a deactivated Bren, could be wrong ?

It’s about quality 

not quantity 

One shot cannon , sorted

If someone was to store their bullion buried in their garden would these peli cases do any good?

I rather have a simple one that works than a fancy one that doesn't

Firearm laws are heavily regulated in U.K, I’m sure these are not legal in the U.K hence why many big caliber firearms are deactivated & sold as collector items better than getting scraped In my opinion. Many collectors buy such pieces for the history, novelty etc very collectable indeed ?

Yeah, it's the same here in Austria... But I think it's better than in the USA...

[StackSellRepeat]

Yh in the states it’s WORSE I’d prefer the laws in the U.K. than over there any day of the week ? (JUST MY OPINION)

[Big23]

Yeah. But I was shocked how easy it is to get a shotgun although we have strong laws as well. You just go to the shop, buy it and after 3 days 'cool down period' you pick it up. Only thing is you get registered and must not have any police entries...
