<p>[QUOTE="Daggarjon, post: 313955, member: 4230"]I have a large safe, measures 27" deep, 36" wide, 60" high, that i store my numismatics in. I also have a safe 24" wide, 18" deep, 60" high, that is stored on another location that stores my guns. Avything associated with the guns, cleaning supplies, ammo ... as others have allready posted, none of it is good for the coins (or paper for that matter)</p><p><br /></p><p>If your collection is not valuable in collectors terms, i would suggest either a smaller fireproof save that can be bought for $100-200 for the coins. A seperate gun save that is not fireproof can be bought for around the same price. </p><p><br /></p><p>I understand cost issues are always a concern. I used to collect thiunking that i would rather spend my money on items i collect, and i still do. But now i also understand that i need to also spend money on items supporting the items in my collection - books, magazines, safes, and other accesories. It does pain me to spend money that i would rather use to buy more for my collection.... in the end, i will have a better collection because 1) it is safe in my safe and 2) with the books and magazines i buy, i am now more knowledgeable (hopefully anyhoot) </p><p><br /></p><p>good luck on caring for your 2 collections <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
