<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dreamer94, post: 315637, member: 6449&quot;]The only people close to me who care at all about collecting coins are my father-in-law and my son and I trust them completely.&nbsp; I don&#039;t mention it much to close friends, not because of security, but because they just aren&#039;t interested. </p><p><br /></p><p>I keep my gold and platinum (not that I have a lot) in my safe-deposit box and I&#039;m buying a safe for my proof sets, albums and certified coins.&nbsp; My 1909 S-VDB is kept in the house, but in a place where no thief would find it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If someone I didn&#039;t know well visiting my house asked me about my collection, I&#039;d show them my state quarter and presidential dollar albums, not the platinum anniversary set!</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s an important message here for newbies; don&#039;t give out personal information here that would allow someone to find you or indicate where you live.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>To provide a somewhat different approach to protection, while I understand the desire to defend oneself with a gun, there&#039;s pretty strong evidence that people are much more likely to be shot with their own gun than they are to shoot an intruder.&nbsp; Insuring your collection is a good idea; this requires a detailed inventory with photographs and will cost extra, but it&#039;s worth the peace of mind.&nbsp; The other good thing is a 600 pound safe bolted to the floor.&nbsp; No one is going to run away with it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
