Gun safe... Gun Cabinet... fire proof... non fire proof... put concrete in safe... bolt down safe...watch moisture content...watch plastic holders as may be hazardous to coins if fire...watch floor construction...consider insurance...consider safety deposit box...acidic vs non acidic...
Kinda makes you wonder? Is there any one full proof way to store our coins without one of the above variables possibly causing damage?

 When I served in W.W. II, our Commanders used to warn us, " loose lips sinks ships". Let that be a warning to all! G  |

I have a middle of the road safe not fire rated, bolted to the floor, hidden in a false wall. It would be a big job to find it and then a long time getting in, unless you had a sawsall.
Further I was told, by my house insurance guy, they need to be certified to be insured , thats the collection .

Ever see that infomercial for that supersaw that's like two counter-rotating circular saws stacked? Cut a car in half faster than jaws of life could open it. They gave it to a woman, and she opened a concrete lined safe in about five minutes. Sawzalls are kid stuff. They use battery versions to steal Cadillacic converters in parking lots. That custom safe guy had lots of good info on his site. One good point: Keep your tools as far as possible from your safe. No point in providing everything they need to break in. Quote:

More than once I've had someone ask me to appraise some coins they lost or had stolen. Like I'm going to put a price on something I've never seen, if it even existed in the first place. |
