Where Do You Keep Your Coins (Have Insurance)?

Some data:

Cost of safe deposit box: $40-100 or more. Most likely around $65.

Cost of insurance rider: $10,000 replacement coverage, $250 deductible ($250, not $2500), $99 per year.

So for $34 a year, things could be kept in the houses with minimal FINANCIAL risk. Of course, heirloom coins can never really be replaced.

I forgot to ask about replacement. So if things go missing, do I get a check for $9750 or must I replace precisely what went missing, not sure. You'd think it would be the check, but other experience indicates otherwise. In a different state, when a Stihl 48" bar chainsaw went missing, I received nothing until I showed a receipt for another Stihl 48". 42" would not be reimbursed. So maybe a MS62 1914-D Eagle would need to be replaced with another one. I'm not sure, but at least these numbers help me and maybe somebody else.

Believe it or not...mine are in a dynamite safe...got it off a large contractor years ago...put it in my conditioned garage.Also have insurance.

Close to my gun collection

Safe Deposit Box for valuables, Very heavy home safe for not too valuables, and a coffee can/box etc. hidden well for others....sincerely...good luck

That question is really difficult. The reason is it is pending on where you live, the banks policies, the amount of buisness you do with them and many other factors. For example I have 5 safe deposit boxes in 5 different banks. All are about the same size. Two of the banks are the same organization so the prices are the same. All of the others are different. Two of the safe deposit boxes are free due to the other accounts I have with them and many other banks do similar practices rather than giving away stuff that no one really wants for their buisness. When a bank does that though, they are usually really small boxes but if free, so what.


And to that so much depends on where you live. If around Huricane areas, they flood, crash, wash away, etc. just as easily as a house.
The only banks robbed for safe deposit boxes are usually on TV programs. Even criminals don't waste time with those boxes knowing full well most are full of papers.
And as to a banks fires. Not sure but so far I've never seen, hear of, know of any banks burning around me. Must have signs saying no fires allowed.
And to insurances. I've mentioned this before. Insurance companies want you to document everything. All goes into their computers. How many people have access to that info and how many of them stay with that company? And how many take that info with them?
Might as well just place a sign on your door saying what you have.

In the Lehman Brothers vault....dohhhh!
