Storage for gold stack

[Pragmatist]

Are those Pelican cases any good to store gold coins in seeing as they are air right etc?

what do members on here us?

thanks,

Airtightness is less of an issue for gold because it's very unreactive. You can literally bury it in a field for a couple of centuries and it should be fine.

I have a pelican case for carrying silver, its got a strong handle and has foam for added cushioning and to keep things in place so I don't have to worry about cracking airtites, etc.  Unfortunately I don't have that kind of weight in gold to worry about it much

Also have a pelican case, excellent quality but they are not cheap.

Purchased mine from the below link, they were cheaper than ebay sellers:

Pelican is probably the best known in this space, but I also have a Condition 1 for carrying/storing a telescope and the quality is also excellent.  Got it from Amazon, but its price is only slightly less than a similarly sized Pelican.  Probably other competitors out there as well.

Cool, that’s just the place I bought mine from tonight. Could have got it a tad cheaper in the USA but didn’t want to wait 2 weeks.

Astronomy?? My 2nd favourite hobby. Nothing beats a good quality Apo refractor.

I wouldn't bother, gold isn't reactive, and if it is simply purchased for its gold content and has no collectible value then there's no point.  No gold shop is going to pay a premium for a "pretty" gold eagle unless it has some collectible value.  They just don't care.

Beg to differ, I'm for reflectors all the way, because chromatic aberration is annoying

I use a mastercoin case for my gold stack well worth the money and looks amazing too!

You don’t have chromatic aberration with Apochromatic refractors. ??

Oh, I see, going for fancy lenses are we 

In my day it were Newtonian or Cassegrain and that's yer lot. Always used to say cassegrains and reflectors are for folks who want a lying down hobby

We all know we live on a flat earth inside a huge glass dome and that every astronomer is a part of the conspiracy

A conspiracy that can only ever be believed by someone who doesn't realise how little astronomers get paid
