Is storage in an attic safe?

<p>[QUOTE="adric22, post: 1792052, member: 38146"]I'm thinking of moving most of my collection into a safe box and putting it in the attic. It has gotten so large I'm afraid that if there's ever a break-in, I'l lose it all. I think thieves would be less likely to search the attic. The coins are all inside coin-safe tubes so they are sealed off from the environment. The only issue I can foresee is the heat during Summer. I do have cooling fans in my attic so the hottest it usually gets even here in Texas is about 130 degrees up there, even with outside temps around 110. Before I got the vents installed I measured temps up to 150 at times. So I would think that would be the worst case scenario in case of power failure or fan failure.</p><p> </p><p>Is there any issues anyone can think of? BTW, I don't really collect any rare coins. I just collect junk silver as bullion and silver eagles, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
