I found the following excerpt to be of particular interest to those that "still" think that a home safe is the safest way to secure their coins rather than those pesky safe deposit boxes that are inconvenient, expensive and subject to "government confiscation": I will continue to keep my most valuable coins in my bank safe deposit box, thank you.[/QUOTE]
