The topic of using safes for coins has come up many times. I dislike the use of any safes due to they really are not intended to protect coins from humidity. Also, during a fire they get hot and tend to melt anything plastic.

If you regularly air them out and use silica packs that you reactivate when needed, you should be fine. If you stay in this hobby, the value of your collection may grow substantially as you add things. To me, safes provide more piece of mind than having your collection out in the "open", but provide a lot more accessibility than at a bank safety deposit box.

My safe is certified to protect cds and dvds, if that means anything.

Do you think a safe is really necessary for my coins? I think that depends on your neighborhood.  |

Large box type desiccants are available for your safe.

Bought a Sentry fire and waterproof safe. About 2.4 cubic ft interior capacity and combination lock. I love it.

It sounds like you have a variety of storage methods in mind - I've been really impressed with corrosive-resistant bags + silica gel packets, kept in a locked room. Peace of mind is key for whatever you own :)

"Loose lips sink ships" - true. But not if your safe has a top speed of more than 30 knots.  |
