<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppermania, post: 1011337, member: 18304&quot;]I love this topic. I first bought a safe for my firearms as a classy and orderly way to store them. Mainly to keep them from being mishandled. I could have simply run a locking cable through the trigger guards and if that was clipped then my responsibility is over and its on the thief, or kids at that point. There are heaters you can put in safes to dehumidify them and work at low energy, but I would never put coins in a safe with fired guns or especially guns that have been cleaned and oiled. That would have the possibility to negatively turn coins all kinds of colors. I can see any safe bolted to the floor having its side wall drilled and a cordless sawsall make a huge door on the side. I choose to not get all uptight about it and bet that it won&#039;t happen. I don&#039;t let the safe sales people beat a drum of fear to get me to buy stuff I don&#039;t need. I prefer a drill resistant steel safe bolted to the floor and dehumidified and a smaller fireproof safe placed inside that for papers. The Sentury fire safe is rated at 1200 degrees for 30 min, and the gun safe creates a dutch oven that holds the air inside at close to 300 degrees makeing the firesafe easily able to outlast a housefires fuel. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Concerning coins though, I consider them an asset to my family. If they become the flame that attracts thieves and murderers, then I should keep them away from myself and family. But I refuse to let that wreck it for me. Owning coins is a joy and although there is certainly risk involved, I find myself traveling with coins and cash and sometimes feel weird at times, until I look around a bourse and realize we are all in the same situation and the anxiety passes. If I ever was a victim of theft, I most certainly would feel horrible, but it would not crush my financial situation and actually only be a minor setback to a wonderful life.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
