[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2346463, member: 71510"]My grandfather knew two guys that died trying to collect coins. He was responsible for payroll at National Ice Company back in the "old" old days when they actually harvested ice from the Truckee river and sent it down to Sacramento by rail. In 1919 two men attempted to rob the payroll that had just arrived via rail which was in gold and silver coin (He always said they hated paper money). Anyhow, long story short - they tried to rob the payroll, and he shot them... :dead::dead: He also taught me how to shoot when I was young, just in case anyone gets any ideas about my gold and silver coins... o_O[/QUOTE]
