newportnavyboy New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 01/31/2017 7:17 pm I'm wondering how everyone stores their items....have you gone to "at home safes"--or have you moved on to a banks safe deposit box? How many PCGS blue slab boxes do you have (obviously if you have stabbed items) and where are you keeping them? At the bank? --I do have items in my safe deposit box--but thinkining it might be time for a larger size box....any "specialty chests that have been made for storage? .....Thanks for all of your suggestions and thoughts Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/31/2017 7:58 pm My suggestion is to invest in a good quality floor safe that is fire and water resistant. It may cost you a bit for a decent sized one but you will have it for a lifetime. Also get a good desacant,either rechargable or electronic.

Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 01/31/2017 8:19 pm I would never store more than a few thousand dollars in coins in the home. You can always be compelled to open a safe. This is an old discussion and there are prior threads on it. Report this Post to the Staff
newportnavyboy New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 01/31/2017 8:42 pm Thanks to all--yes, I think most of my posts are "old discussions" but I don't find searching for them to be very user friendly Report this Post to the Staff

If the person knows you, or there might be any connection to a known person that could be traced back to the invaders you and your family could end up dead. I have a gun safe cabinet with a few weapons in it. However, by the very nature of the contents I have plenty of firepower to defend the contents. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/01/2017 1:25 pm Just buy a piece of land some where and bury all your valuables in the ground. Cover with a slab of concrete or plant a tree over that area. OR open your own bank and use a lot of safe deposite boxes. Or leave out in the open. No one would think they are worth anything if left out. Report this Post to the Staff
