It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, for anyone wondering.. What a great movie!

 

Apples and oranges.

 

I HINDE UNDER the WATER with my own SUBMARINE.....can you also do that?

ANYBODY can afford a safety deposit box. If your stuff, especially U.S. Mint products, is too "big," that's a completely different issue.

 

Hey I'm under 55 and I consider that film the greatest thing to ever come out of Hollywood. When I was kid in the early 70s it was still being shown in movie theaters! All I know is if you lose your coins, don't call this guy. The guy on the left.

 

funniest thing is, I have the DVD and will probably watch it later tonight It sits on a shelf with only 5-6 other dvds which include all 3 monty pythons and vampire hunter "D"

 

I thought big W was some sort of "online classifieds" code when I first read it ... too young to know that movie reference, but maybe I'll check it out if it's on the netflix

 

A guy I know had a larger safe bolted to the wooden floor inside a closet. It was a professional installation. The crooks broke into his garage and took his contractor's size pry bar. They took the safe.

 

Where do I hide my collection?

Under the sink, behind all the paper towels that have been used once or twice, but are still clean enough to use for wiping the floor.

Inside a few of the stacks of old magazines. Which ones? That's for me to know...

Inside air-tites, tucked carefully into the cavities of hand puppets. I've got a pretty good collection of hand puppets, but if I bring in more than another ten or twenty monster boxes of ASEs, I'll need to find a different hiding strategy.

* None of these are actually true. I don't have that much to begin with, and the good stuff goes in an SDB. But if anybody does break in... well, let's just say it can take me quite a while to find things around here...

 

i hide mine in a box buried in my backyard. only problem is i didnt mark the spot so nobody else would find it. and now i cant find it.

seriously though i have a 2.5 cubic foot safe i bought used for 100 bucks..

 

In the middle of an minefield.

 

Thank you! I absolutely loved this movie back when I was a kid and would watch it on TV when my grandparents would let me stay up late enough to see the whole thing. It brings back fond memories of the late 1960s and early 1970s for me.

 

Audience and knowledge are the keys. Who are you hiding things from? Who will you tell (brag too) about your amazing secret hiding-hole?

Loose lips sink ships, which brings me to those annoyingly frequent 'boating accidents'.

It's said that most victims have met their thief in real life...so quash that need to share and bask in the light of (others) ignorance.

 

I use an SDB for about half. Then I have a couple hiding places for a few favorite items in the house. But my problem is my silver proof sets. They are too bulky for the SDB and not really valuable enough to get a 2nd or bigger SDB. If a thief has enough time, they will likely find those and I will be sad. Not sure what to do about it, though.

I agree with the above poster, just don't talk about your coin habits or if you do always say "and they are in my safe deposit box at my bank."

 

Yeah, really. That is my problem with most modern issues, all of the dang packaging. I am a coin collector, but these modern issues they feel like they need to create these plastic presentation boxes. They take up just TONS of space. OTOH, since it came from the mint that way, you think you are devaluing your coins if you take them out of the plastic.

So, really, I have no CHOICE but to buy older coins, right? (its amazing what you can self justify, huh?)

 

With coins in OGP, such as ASE, the coins go to the safe deposit box and the empty OGP goes in a box in the store room at home.

 

Nice solution actually.

I will need to come up with another self justification why I buy dirty old coins.

 

Not the bowl but the tank. I have 6 rolls of silver eagles in mine right now. It also reduces your water bill and saves you money.

 

purely out of curiosity, what is a drop ceiling?
