    Here's a few other choices for a safe. http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?acti...94967294&Ntt=safe&Ntk=i_products&N=4294961544
    but, you'd miss out on the 100 Presidential dollar coins, as well as the other 4,000 US Govt issued coins. (These could be cent coins). You would also miss out on the several hundred dollars of shipping costs, as well as the 18 monthly payments of $98.00, which would total $1,764.00.

    Your call.:whistle:

    But aren't those fireplaces supposed to be strong?
    Now that you mention those I wonder if those would be a safe place to hide things.

    Any time you see something advertising coins and a statement about "limited official issue coins that will NEVER be issued again" - run away like you've never run before. They are all scams.

    Looks like a great way to sell Safes.

    You get a "free" $436 safe and $200 face value in coins. And all you have to pay is what ever the shipping chage is for the safe, and 19 (not 18, read the ad again (It says you pay for the shipping of the first batch of coins up front and then 18 more installments.)) payments of $98 for the shipping on the coins. Total $1862 plus the safe shipping. Call it $2100 for $636 worth of "free" merchandise. But if you get smart and stop the shipments on the coins, you still have to then pay for the safe. So AT A MINNIMUM anyone who falls for this will have to pay for the safe, its shipping and at least one $98 coin shipping fee.

    I didn't read that entire add but I wonder if there is a return policy. So imagine if you changed your mine and sent it back. Return postage, restocking fee and not even sure you'ld get that. Guess I'll wait until they have a sidewalk sale on those.
