You may want to try that search thing at the top for safes, or possibly storage of coins, etc. I know this has come up numerous times.
Me, I don't like safes for anything.
1. When delivered there are way to many neighbors that see this and then the story spreads about all your MILLIONS of dollars at home
2. Unless you have a great place to hide it, anyone coming over could see this and the same as 1. above. And what women doesn't inspect everyone else's home.
3. Many think a safe bolted to the floor or wall can not be taken. I have one neighbor that would differ with that. They took his and a security system as well.
4. In case of a fire, a safe is sort of safe. However, the insides could get rather hot. Many metals and even documents may be safe from the flames. However, plastic stuff could melt all over your coins. Makes them look funny.
5. Remember that when you close that safe and if in a damp area, you lock in that humidity. Not good for long storage of coins.
6. As a coin collection, guns, knives, etc grow in volume and who's doesn't, your going to continuously look for a larger safe. Eventually you would need one the size of your house.
Of course by then you may be able to put your house in the safe.
7. Me? If I was going to acquire a safe I would just go to a place called Menards or Home Depot and get one of theirs cheapest ones. Then try to find a way to hide it so no one could ever find it or see it.
