<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8260580, member: 100459&quot;]All this chatter about lost coins (or other property) is kind of moot (look it up).&nbsp; There are very simple steps to avoid this problem.&nbsp; First, keep your trap shut.&nbsp; Too many of us want to tell/brag about our collection opening up a problem of safety.&nbsp; I would bet that many stolen coins are from someone we know, including our wife and children.&nbsp; And, secondly, do your best to secure your collections, i.e, a safe (only you know where the safe is and what the combination is.&nbsp; A safe deposit box is also rather safe, but then your collections are more difficult to get the time it takes to get there and to get a bank (or other fidelity company that has &quot;safe&quot; deposit boxes.)&nbsp; There are two keys to safe deposit boxes..one that is renting the box, and another owned by the bank.&nbsp; What would prevent a bank employee from making a duplicate of your key?</p><p>Having been a state auditor in North Carolina for over 30 years, I found that a great many people are only as honest as they can get away with.</p><p>Every collector has their own unique problems in dealing in coin collecting or coin selling.&nbsp; Buying from ebay or any other computer company is a challenge of safety.&nbsp; How many stories have you heard that the coin was paid for but never delivered.&nbsp; Before dealing with mail order companies, check them out first.</p><p>Best of luck to you all as you try to secure your collection the best you can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
