So I ALMOST thru $10k away today
 

Was clearing out a storage room, got a couple 2@2 metal safes that I long ago forgot the combos for my daughter was helping me asked if they were garbage I said yes nothings in them. As she was putting them out for the garbage man to pick up I said fuck it I bought this angle grinder from home depot never used it let me see if it can cut them open. It did and inside each safe was 100 2003 Proof silver eagles worth about $50 each.

Crazy shit. Congrats recovering them!

you getting worst than baddog, how can you not remember putting that in the safe??? obviously it was done no more than 7 years ago.

also isn't 50x50 = $2500 x 2 = 5K ?

Must be nice to forget about 10k ;)

deleted, thanks, Will

I think 50 X 100 X 2 = 10K

It's always good to grow wealth. Everyone likes to see a really nice Balance Sheet. Take inventory of all your assets and classify them. Don't lose the wealth! Good luck. Congratulations on recovering wealth.

Yeah I edited my post it was 100 in each one or there about, got one cut open the other not fully ran out of wheels daughter is on the way to home depot to get more. i can see inside that's its the same thing. I think lol

2 safes, 5k in each = 10k

Was prolly in late 2002 or early 2003 I bought them directly from the mint, i think they release the next years editons 3 months or so before the year begins, not sure about that though.

Might be worth a lot more now, also selling them all in bulk will lower the price by quite a lot. If you want the full 10k you might have to sell it piece by piece, lol!

Yeah looks like retail is around $70 each. So $50 is a fair price I think. Coin market has been hit bad by the economy.

congrats on recovering the moneys

always nice to find free cash :)

Lol @ fatfoo

Congrats :)

I hate when that happens,always hold on to the safes

Cool story bro!

I have like 400 safes and I'll never let anyone take them away. C'mere and try. I dare you.

I found a 100 bill in my glove compartment once.. Don't even remember how in the hell it ever got there.

very nice...

Remember me on Christmas!!!!

Good to hear, man. Talk about a pleasant surprise!

funny story. I was throwing out a safe too. Forgot the combo too. Pulled out a stick of dynomite for kicks to just blow it up and inside was 500k in cash I forgot about. Seems I put it there to save money instead of buying your shit traffic. Totally forgot. Go figure. *yawn*

Scary thing is the safes are like 1/4 thick steel took me less than 5 minutes to grind a square big enough to put my hand thru and pull stuff out. No wonder safe companies brag about how their locks can't be picked etc. Why would any thief bother trying when you can use a small grinder and be in in 5 minutes.

nice free cash

It's kind of like finding a $10 bill in your pocket you forgot about... 1000 times.

Another dumbass story.

Waiting for the meltdown.

One time at band camp...

Choker edited the post later.


btw, Choker, I know it has been a while, but thanks for removing your cock from your avatar. lol

I can understand, 7 years is a long time, especially if there is some partying and stuff going on in between, I've found small stacks of $100's stuffed in books or clothes a few times that I forgot about, it's always a nice surprise. of course when I actively search around for stashed money nothing ever comes up, it's when I least expect it and get surprised, usually some stashed casino winnings when I was tired out and never bothered to count my money

come to think of it I should clean up my desk once and for all, I bet there are a few hundreds buried in all the junk and garbage I've let pile up on my desk in the last while... I sometimes worry that I have probably thrown away some money accidentally before

You're very close on the price. Most bulk volume dealers would buy them for between $40 and $45 dollars right now. I've been in Coin biz since 1954 and follow the market daily on Gov't issue stuff.

Also, someone posted that coin market is hurting. Wrong wrong wrong. Coin market, gold, silver are very strong. I've increased prices overall on my website every week for the past year or better to keep up with wholesale Grey Sheet prices. Last week there was over 200+ price increases alone.

piece to all :thumbsup

Looooooool

love those angle grinders:thumbsup BUT dont forget , there is no such thing as a perfect safe. They are generally used in combination with alarms, its just a method to slow a crook down. A lot of the pro safes have several layers, meant to really slow down cutting tools ;) Congrats on your find:thumbsup

i had to read 3 times that in order to understand what you were saying.

ok so who put those coins on the metal safe?

When I was making pretty huge money back in the day, I still would never fucking forget where I stashed 10k cash money. And neither would anyone else. Unless you were drunk.

Nice, good thing you remembered!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh i am so rich i forgot i has 10 k in my storage Room
gotta love gfy

I LOVE that image!!!

I wouldnt mind a little windfall! gratz!

Well I have 100 gold sovereigns in a safety deposit box. One for every year of the 1800s. I'm just waiting to inherit them. lol.

Pretty cheaply made safes if you can just cut your way in.

Just as well there was not cash in them as the sparks from the grinder would have set it on fire

Please take some pics! This sounds way to awesome! Good for you!

:1orglaugh now buy yourself something good

That is why I don't own a safe...

WOOOOOhooooooo how this smelly big shit come into my fucking pants?

damn, good thing! those safes would of probably made it to a land fill and sat for years and no one would of found a single one of them.

:thumbsup:thumbsup
