Press Release Summary = Thousands of coins hiddend away in an unopened safe for decades are being auctioned.
Press Release Body = When Edna Barber\'s father died in 1960, his safe was delivered to her home. Since it was not believed to contain anything of value, there it remained untouched, locked away with thousands of coins and collectables awaiting rediscovery.
Since the safe itself was valuable, when it was recently opened, the job was done carefully. It took two locksmiths three hours to reveal the contents. Imagine the surprise when the door finally opened!
The owner has consigned the safe\'s contents to OnlineAuction.com seller, strategic_investments_corp, who has it listed on the site.
According to the sellers, \"The safe contained the following items: One Gold watch, cancelled checks from Coca-Cola Bottling Company dated 1920-1929, a 1950 Masonic date book, an Edgeworth Tobacco tin (circa 1910) filled with medals from Germany WWII, and 4 cloth bags filled with over 7000 US coins, including old US Gold coins. ALL THESE ITEMS are being auctioned together, except for the safe (Victory circa 1906), which is currently being auctioned separately.\"
