Been stacking since 1st birthday when my great grandfather started me out with a Morgan silver dollar. I'm 45 now. This chest has various types of silver bars, including a couple of Britannia bars, various coins, rounds and 90% constitutional silver (mercury dimes, walkers, etc). It weighs around 44 lbs. The box was made by a family friend 30 years ago for my grandmother who passed 5 years ago. The extra special stuff is in a safe deposit box. I figure to pass it on to my kids.
