Protecting My Gold Coins From Theft.

The best deterant from theft for coins is to keep your mouth shut about them. And I mean to everyone. You tell a relative that tells another relative that tells a neighbor that tells a friend that sends an email to their friends in prison.
Or you tell your insurance agent who is only a temporary person that is now being layed off and has no income so him and all the rest of the layed off insurance people get together and stop by for some Gold.
You could put an add in the local newspaper saying you have a house full of Gold coins and anyone that has an idea of how to protect them, let me know and here is my address.
The less people think you have worth stealing, the better off you are.
And as already noted to the limit, get a safe deposit box.
Of course if you do, make sure my name is on the registration slip in case.

In the good old days this would probably have been a good idea. With things the way they are today and all your personal information in the insurance company's computer, not to smart today. Such computers are available to just to many personal in that company. Have you ever gone to an insurance agent with a question about a policy? I have and with just your name they bring up so much stuff on the monitor I feel like my life is an open book. Everything I ever put down on my home owners policy was right there for this person to see. And she was just a receptionist. If she can do that, anyone in the company can do that. If you list Gold or coins, they are right there for the entire company to see.

Perhaps you are right just_carl, however, if you do not list them and they are stolen or you have a fire, good luck getting any insurance money for them.

I quoted this due to how true it all is.
