<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 956894, member: 15199&quot;]The cases appear modern as shipping crates in the later 1800s, early 1900&#039;s were usually rough thicker wood&nbsp; 4/4-8/4 for heavy things such as coins or machinery parts. I also have not seen commercial crates that appear to be fine dovetailed 3/4. As conder101 said, most coins were in rough kegs or canvas bags, and the bags usually had the minimum information and printing, and no illustrations. Pure souvenir type IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
