[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 7568314, member: 20480"]I considered a safe after my home was broken into. Be wary of the cheap fireproof safes so frequently marketed to protect one's valuables. They are of insufficient weight to prevent them being hauled off by thieves, and they also usually have thermal insulation in them which tends to absorb moisture on humid days, and then liberate that moisture to the contents of the safe. If I recall correctly, a really good used safe that Hugh Wood would find acceptable should be available for a couple grand. Typically, the cost to move it to your premises will be about half that again. Dessicant packets are a great idea, whether you keep your coins in a safe deposit box, in a safe, or just in your sock drawer. I bought insurance from Hugh Wood after my home was broken into, and I don't believe they will cover environmental damage to your coins if improperly stored.[/QUOTE]
