Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 560 Posts	Posted 01/26/2025 11:54 am I started helping clearing all the stuff my dad (& mom) accumulated over the years.. This morning I started taking out all the stuff in 1 specific corner, There was also a nice looking barrel with copper rings.. Only the lit is missing for now, but maybe it's in the opposite corner.. I could not believe it when I looked at the bottom of the wooden barrel, I'm very happy.. Still walking with a smile from ear to ear.. What a lovely addition to my numismatic collection.. I tried to find info on the internet, not successful.. So any info regarding this item is welcome.. How it ended up in a small village in the Netherlands will never be answered I guess..

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25028 Posts	Posted 01/27/2025 3:36 pm Since the earliest days, the U. S. Mint shipped coins in kegs. However, I can't find any articles that discuss this in detail. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
