<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 3601833, member: 77639&quot;]I considered having a substantial safe at home, but went with a small, cheap safe at home for cheap coins and temporary storage of expensive coins, and have a deposit box at my bank for expensive coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; With high res digital pictures, the need to examine the coins up close and personal is rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; Except for a concrete slab, a substantial safe can&#039;t be supported by residential flooring without reinforcement.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; A safe that is highly rated against picking and forced entry and also has high fire resistance would be very expensive.</p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; The safe would be noticed by guests, friends, repairmen, house cleaners, etc.&nbsp; Word might get around.</p><p><br /></p><p>5.&nbsp; A professional burglar would be able to open almost any safe in less than an hour.</p><p><br /></p><p>6.&nbsp; Finally, if a robber puts a gun to your head or a family member, the safe will be opened right away.&nbsp; I don&#039;t want to hear how you&#039;ll prevent this with your trusty pistol.&nbsp; Any robber who&#039;s willing to shoot is likely to be younger and quicker than you, but most of all, they&#039;ll have the element of surprise. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ask Willis DuPont.&nbsp; In the 60&#039;s, he had a multimillion-dollar collection in a bank-type walk-in vault at his home.&nbsp; When robbers put a gun to the head of his wife, he opened it wide pronto.&nbsp; Some of the coins still are missing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
