<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Smitty, post: 1341544, member: 35044&quot;]After searching the forum and the Web I&#039;ve found no topics specifically addressing my concerns with coin storage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Currently I have some bullion and my coins in a small bolted-down Sentry fire safe. I have two concerns about this. <ol> <li>Sentry safes are notoriously easy to break into.</li> <li>Fire safes still allow the inside of the safe to reach 350°. According to one source, depending upon PCGS and NCG slabs being polystyrene or polypropylene (can&#039;t find info, but seems reasonable), they could melt at as low as 212°.</li> </ol><p>So I&#039;d like to upgrade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s what it seems I need: <ol> <li>A &quot;B-Rated&quot; safe for burglary resistance.</li> <li>A data/media option, either for the safe itself, or a container that I can put in the safe.</li> <li>A smaller safe that I can move up and down steps by myself (&lt; 150#).</li> </ol><p>Here&#039;s what I&#039;ve learned so far: <ol> <li>Just because a company says their safe is &quot;B-Rated&quot; doesn&#039;t mean it is &quot;UL-tested B-Rated&quot;. The &quot;UL&quot; safes are generally labeled &quot;RSC&quot;.</li> <li>Data/media safes or containers do not let the temperature exceed 125°.</li> <li>All B-Rated/data/media safes I&#039;ve seen so far are beyond what I want to spend.</li> <li>Gardall and Hollon make B-Rated safes, but not fireproof or &quot;UL-rated&quot; that could possibly fit the bill if I put a data storage container inside.</li> </ol><p>What kind of safes do you all use?</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone add to my knowledge base?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
