    If they let it all fly, are your coins protected? What would happen to your coins?

    In a direct strike, they'd be ionized and finely distributed. Maybe a little weight loss due to transmutation and decay, but I'll likely not be keeping close track.

    The obvious answer would be to dig a super strong bomb shelter just big enough for your coins, and bring a PCGS inspector to grade your shelter at least ms67.

    If there was, I doubt any of us would care.

    just trying to figure out how to protect my coins in case of a disaster.

    Well, in the case of a nuclear war, I doubt I will be worried about my coins. "If they let it all fly", I doubt anyone will really have time to worry about anything.

    That is exactly why you should consider the situation now and prepare.

    Well, I guess I better get off the computer and start on my bomb shelter.

    If my family and I are vaporized, or dying of radiation poisoning, I really won't care what happened/happens to my coins.

    Speak for yourselves. I'd be safe and sound, along with my valuables, in my EMP resistant nuclear powered spaceship jetting off to one of my many out of system vacation stations. I mean, since we are talking hypothetical nonsense here.

    you better hope the PCGS inspector doesn't say your shelter is one of those "first strikes" :)

    I have a few. They may somewhat protect my coins, but they won't do much to protect me.

    If you duck and cover, you increase your chances of survival about 1000 percent.
