<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1113360, member: 15199"]The government,( both state and federal) can "seal" a box in several legal situations. They still can not open the SDB without your key. Even in 1933, the proclamation used "seal" and to be "opened in the presence of an IRS representative.It did not allow wholesell drilling of the locks to check each one. The law exempted coin collectors, dentists, jewelers, etc, as value would be difficult to determine and reimburse. Reimbursement was part of the law. Bank SDB require 2 different keys, one for the bank, and one for the customer. The lock will not function without both at the same time. The 1933 law can not be used as it stands to confiscate collector gold coins, nor AGE as they were excepted from confiscation when they were initiated by Congress. So with that in mind, SDB should still be the safest place to store valuables , except for papers such as passports, birth certificates, visas, guns and other prohibited items, that you might need if the bank was closed. IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
