Walker4 Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 04/07/2008 2:41 pm Personally, I just use my gun safe. I do need to upgrade soon, as my collection of coin's, and my collection of firearm's, are seriously competing for space. Plus, I would like to get something a little heavier, fire proof, and water proof. I feel a good safe is a better deal than a deposit box. Your average thief, cannot crack a safe.

ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 04/08/2008 12:07 am On the Pre-64 nickels... I have noticed that ads online and on ebay DO play on the dates. I have yet to see an auction that flat out says 64-back nickels are silver... HOWEVER, I have seen plenty of auctions that make it a point to say something like "L@@K- Pre-1964 nickels!" As if to attract someone who would assume that ANY silver colored coin 64-earlier was actually silver. There is no other reason or explanation for an auction containing a 55 Jefferson (for example) to say such a thing, unless the seller is fishing for a sucker. Report this Post to the Staff
ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 04/08/2008 12:15 am Walker4: Don't forget to bolt that sucker down! I have heard of several safes (not bolted down) being carted off to a "safe" place to carry out the time consuming break-in. Big safes too... I like the ones that recess into the concrete. Cut the floor out, dig some dirt up, then drop in the safe. Either bolt it in, or dowel and pour a patch. If you bolt down, 1/2" wedge anchors are stout. I use them all the time in my work. They have something like 2k lbs or better "pulling" strength EACH. Sheer strength is not great, but I can't see anyone being able to put sheer stress on them if you have 4 of them down.
