Where do you keep your coins?

what bank are you with,where I am from 150 a year for the big one and no additional charges,but I lso bought a safe the problem I seen with them was the fire rating,If you get a safe with a good fire rating you pay through the nose.

put the safe right inside a window where the firehose can spray....
or keep 4 big drinking fountain dispenser bottles filled with water on top of safe, when they melt they'll keep fire in check

 

Has to be the bank for me. I have a safe deposit box with those plastic ties with
serial numbers. I do get charged 8 bucks a visit because it takes up the time of
two members of staff to babysit me and it whilst I'm there. Seems fair to me.

 

We're never away from home for very long, and my collection is mostly clad, no gold, and some 90% silvers, nothing of high value. I have a silent alarm, and the complex doesn't allow visitors on the property unless the resident is home and gives the okay.

 

Nunya business.


Seriously. What I have and where ain't gonna get posted on a public forum.

 

The expensive (irreplacable) in an SDB. Some at home in a bolted down safe.

 

I have no valuable coins so I don't have to worry about it.

 

In New Zealand, banks do not have safe deposit boxes. There are private companies that have them, but I found the security to be second rate.

 

For those who have a bolted down safe...did you have the company that installed the safe bolt it down? I have no idea how to bolt down a safe but would like to get one. I am also not sure how to get a 400 or more pound safe home.

 

Put in the basement if possible, drill the concrete and put in anchors and install bolts through the floor of the safe. If on wood, drill into the floor joice, and install bolts there. Basement concrete is better, harder to pry off. Also, install in a closet if possible, the extra walls make it harder for thieves to get an angle to pry the safe loose. Underneath and backs of safes are usually the weakest spots, that is why theives will try to pry safe away from your location to get access to those spots.

 

No, you bolt it down yourself.
Shipping, Delivery and Placement are almost always included in pricing of a safe. (make sure you clarify this before purchase)
It take 3 or 4 guys to move it in, sooooooo
It'll take about 10 in armor to get it out while dodging 410 handgun rounds :devil:

When you bolt it down lay down some tyvek wrap on the floor before bolting.
Once bolted seal around the bolts with a "safe" caulk/sealant.

 

12ga 3" slugs here. God I love my Remmington.


410 Federal Handgun at 10 feet just makes people mad. The shot pattern spread out too much.
Ditch your Judge or put some non-Cowboy action 45LC in it.

 

I'm relatively new to collecting bullion, so hoping you wouldn't mind explaining to me the purpose of keeping open/exposed bullion with protected bullion?.... Not that I have anything yet, but when I do it will be in a safe deposit box somewhere and I want to make sure I am storing it correctly. I understand the purpose of silica ... Just not clear why you need to have some of the silver unprotected.Thanks!

 

i keep my coins in a place of secrecy. i find that to be the best security. no, i don't have anything of high value, but i'm still not going to take any chances.

 

I keep mine in a heavy, combination lock safe. I keep it in the basement along with de-humidifiers since the salt spray out here is always pretty high, and humidity is bad for all coins. While the safe is water-proof, plus along with de-humidifiers, they should be safe.

 

I keep all my money in a big brown bag
Inside a zoo
What a thing to do

 

Anything of much value is at the bank in a SDB. I have a policy with Hugh Wood to cover the few things that may be at home. I have a large safe at home but it is almost empty. If the bad guys come they can have it. I'm covered.

 

Silica is not perfect, has only a certain amount it can absord. Silver is highly reactive, so if you leave some exposed silver out its an insurance policy. If the silica runs out of the moisture/gases gets too much for it, the exposed silver will tone first.
