<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SwendiCoin, post: 3671110, member: 18768&quot;]I&#039;ve just spent hours reading other threads about safe deposit boxes and safes and quite frankly, I&#039;m exhausted. So forgive me for starting another thread regarding my situation.</p><p><br /></p><p>My coins are currently in a safe deposit box at a local bank.&nbsp; I have to maintain an account with the bank to have the box. But if there is no activity in the account, after 6 months they start charging $4 per month. And yes, it has happened to me again for the third time (4 months this time)!&nbsp; These fees on top of the $120 I pay per year for the box have finally pushed me to consider other options.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I am considering a quality gun safe in the $1200 to $1500 range.&nbsp; I know some don&#039;t recommend gun safes, but the coins will be inside other air tight containers inside the safe. It is not feasible to put the safe in the house so it has to go in the garage. I live in the Denver area so humidity is not a big concern. But there will be temperature fluctuations. I&#039;ll use desiccant even though humidity shouldn&#039;t be a problem. Do I need to worry about the temperature changes?</p><p><br /></p><p>The safe will be fire rated to keep the internal temperature under 350 degrees for up to an hour in case of fire.&nbsp; Is this safe for coins in slabs? Or will the plastic melt at 350 degrees?</p><p><br /></p><p>For physical security the safe will be attached to the concrete floor in a corner that can not be seen from the street when the garage door is open. It will also have a zippered cover to help obscure what&#039;s there if a neighbor comes by when I have the door open. I also plan to install a camera.</p><p><br /></p><p>The safe will only be used for coins and important papers. No guns, if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
