Gun safe storage & dehumidification

A stronger safe will cost you less for insurance premiums (if you insure your coins).
This is a good overview of safe types and how effective they are:

Catch 22 with buying a heavy duty, hard to move safe - your location immediately becomes known to numerous strangers/delivery men

Although, check with your insurance provider first.

My Insurance company would require me to do an Appraisal, and require at least a C rated safe, up to a certain amount. Then a TL up to certain amounts for their type - tl15, 30, x4 etc.

Some safe companies don't use box trucks with advertisements on them. Or many piano moving companies also move safes ... so it may have Piano ads on it.

you may just want to store it in a SDB as previously mentioned.

 

I did that....again and again and again.

Bless you.

 

Randy, I thought I sent you this post last night in regard to the same. Here is Doug's {GDJMSP) explanation, and needs to be followed carefully as it is the ONLY way you will get privileges.

This web site has some real eye opening videos on how easily a "gun safe" is defeated. Doing a little more research after looking at these! I was a cop for 30 years and investigated a lot of burglaries. I saw ONE safe job that was a real safe job where they drilled the mechanism. This was a grocery store and the loss was about $30k. That being said, I have seen a lot of residential burglaries where the crook took a hammer to the dial and just did damage to the "gun safe" and didn't get in. For those of you with gun safes, take a look at the installation pages of this site for some useful info. I am now leaning towards a TL-30 bolted to the floor in a corner

 

many of the cheap gun safes and cheap home safes can be open up quickly with a circular saw - or at least a large enough opening to grab everything inside if you didn't want to use a screwdriver and crowbar.

 

It's the same with really nice heavy gun safes. The tools and equipment are out there. You can cut a hole in just a few minutes.
