Never mind where silver melts. You don't want the plastic box melting all over it, right?ochotona wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 7:41 am So if I got a monster box of silver, and hid it in my attic, how could I armor it so that it could withstand a fire? What kind of container would I have to put it into? What is the UL designation or whatever of such a box? Could I make one? Silver melts at 1763 deg F.
Would a broken mini-refrigerator that no one wants be a place to start?

I feel like I read very recently that someone suggested a fireproof box inside a safe. I think that's what I would do.
