<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 7944312, member: 117420"]Like you, can't do or need the larger safes and the small ones can be carried. I have a 4-drawer metal and fire resistant file cabinet, and the the word here is concealment more than actual security. It's also in a near-constant cool/dry location. The first/front half of each drawer is filled with...files/file folders, etc...but in the back of each drawer is a part of my also-modest collection. Also, I have it situated so that you can't open the drawers enough to see beyond where the files end. If/when I need access to coins, I just remove a handful of hanging files and it's easy to see and reach in/out...plus I don't have a need to constantly be in and out so it's no inconvenience. For the random burglars who want to get in and out in good/quick time, they're likely to pass on anything they can't easily see or access, grabbing what they can from dressers for jewelry...like we have (not) much...and other easy things/locations. To each their own but this works for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
