<p>[QUOTE="Leahred1967, post: 2696545, member: 86037"]I know this is a strange way to start this, but I want you to understand how important this old tool box is to me: When I was 6 years old my mother was murdered, and I've never had anything of hers. My father loves how interested I am in coin collecting, so 2 days ago when I told him I wish I had a box or something I could keep my coins in, that I could put a lock on, he showed up at my house with an old Craftsman tool box and a lock. The box is in pretty good shape for how old it is. You see, he said my mother bought him this tool box right around the time I was born and it used to house every tool he owned. I'll be 50 in October, so it's pretty old. My father is 83, so not only do I now have something my mother once held in her hands, I also have something to give me good memories of my dad.</p><p>It's the perfect thing for my coin collection (at least the beginning of it). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The thing is, I don't want to alter the box, so if I could get some tips on what I can do to make it a good place for my coins, that would be awesome. I'm not sure what I should put in the bottom of the box, and the tray, that is safe for my coins for storage or anything. This whole coin collecting ordeal has made me happier that you will ever know, so if I get a little over zealous sometimes, just please excuse me, it's just because I enjoy it so much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
