Where do you keep your coins?

My Credit Union rents me a safe deposit box for 18 dollars a year, it is also a good place to store important papers, like car titles. There is no fee for accessing it.

If you need to look at your coins now and then, get a digital camera and take pics of them before you put them in the box.

Mine aren't very 'valuable' in price, but very 'valuable' to me. But I keep them in this ship box..

 

WOW! I Burried it with a MAP. LOL LATITUDE NORTH ## oom oos and LONGITUDE EAST... ### oom 00s.
You guess it.

 

VERY NICE ONE! and it is very good
you do not give them hard time to find it....:thumb::thumb::thumb:

 

I keep most of them in binders on a shelf. Loose coins, proof sets, or slabs go in a big "box" with a snap on lid....

 

My type coin collection is housed in a single loose leaf binder that's sometimes in a bookcase, sometimes on the kitchen table and sometimes on the livingroom coffee table, but always withing reach so I can enjoy it when I want. Everything else - loose coins, Whitman folder sets, books and reference materials and other necessary equipment are all in a single three-drawer chest. I don't see the point in locking a collection up in a bank or other relatively unaccessable place where you have to make arrangements just to look at them. That's like buying a Mercedes 300 SL and locking it in a garage and never driving it because it might get dirty or rained on.

 

My wife keeps them at her boyfriends house

 

Thats sad, funny but sad...

 

Large 400lb safe bolted to studs and floor.
Silica packs
Five 10oz silver ingots left open/exposed to protect all other silver
Acid free boxes/flips for raw coins
PCGS/NGC storage boxes for slabbed
Rolls and tubes rubberbanded with silica packs around
Folders and Albums top shelf w/ digital thermometer
Also 3 Fireboxes inside large safe for irreplaceable stuff

 

She stole your collection?! Man, I am sorry dude! I have like 3 coin books and I keep my Whitman folders in my desk drawer and all other supplies and I don't have any computer...LOL!

 

Oh, and I'd never use a safe deposit box at the bank..
I'm a conspiracy nut and I would not be able to sleep at night wondering if my slabbed coins were switched with Asian fakes...

And, if (BIG HUGE "IF") the SHTF how are you gonna get into a bank that's locked down???

 

It's my old joke, but I will say it again. I keep mine in the vegetable bin in the refrig. Nobody ever looks there

BTW, where do you get those silicon things?

 

Me either, I hate putting my valuable in SAFE DEPOSIT or BANK VAULTS.. I think is not SAFE.. The BEST WAY is BURRIED IT on a SAFE SECRET PLACE ......But do not forget the Key and combination of watertight vault... HE HE HE HE...

 

she stole them a while ago, especially the gold.

 

I store my coins in a binder, kept on a shelf. (Don't have many rare coins, so I don't need a safe)

 

If you choose to bury it, make sure you dig a huge deep hole, along with a few other smaller holes.
Put your "stuff" in a plastic vault if possible, within layers of plastic bags and silica gel packs.

once burried in deepest hole, place some old nails in hole and bury them as well
place nails in decoy holes surrounding true vault hole.


then, scatter spent firearm shells in area, shotgun shells are good too.

stand back and chuck a few handfulls of BB's all over the area

this will give a lot of intereference and "false positives" for metal detectors.

 

Are you serious? LOL!

 

Absolutely, if you're going to leave something exposed, do so correctly.
Otherwise, don't do it at all...

 

"exposed"LOL ......Pull up your pants!-Taylor

 

I do have also a complete collection to show to some friends and I never intent to hide and keep it. My Collections are... 50 STATE QUARTERS.... PDSS.. but the Valuable one. it is secret....secret.... secret safe.:thumb:
