<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 4856363, member: 103207"]I do have a few coins at home but nothing of any value. Anything else is stored in an extremely secure location and not at home. Otherwise called a vault. Unless you live in a very safe location keeping high value coins at home is not something I would advise. If you have a home safe you need to make sure it's very heavy 500 lbs minimum. I have a collector friend that a family member that had a drug problem come into his home with some friends and refrigerator hand truck and stole his safe. The safe was about 800 lbs. They didn't get to far with it. It's one thing to steal a safe but it's another one to be able to open it. A heavy duty safe without knowing the combination is no different than stealing a block of cement. You can move it but it can that a long time to get it opened. Hitting the combination lock with a hammer only makes it almost impossible to open.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
