This thread has inspired me and I wanted something to keep my silver in. I had this old basket lying around, not sure where it came from (my wife and I go to estate auctions so I suspect it came in a box lot from one of those). Anyway, I think the silver looks good in there. About 72 oz by my estimation and continually adding.
I think it might have been a sewing basket at one time. When I was prepping to put the silver in there, I found a sewing needle stuck in the side.
Those are Chinese coins and I do believe they are real, though common (though I haven't really bothered to identify them yet).....but that was another reason I thought this basket made a nice coin box...already had the look.
