    You can always send me a PM if you want something

    and want no interference - its silly to be bidding against

    fellow board members.

     

    No, it's not. I like everyone on this board and all, but if I want a certain coin and I have the funds to purchase it, why should I or anyone else bow out to please someone else? You are being exceptionally courteous, but I don't think that this necessarily means that it is silly or outlandish to deviate from this policy. If people on this board and elsewhere would defer to my bids, my collection would be infinitely larger.

    With regards to safes, I highly recommend Liberty's "Fatboy" series. Although they are made for firearms, you can buy custom shelving cheaply from the company and remove the gun racks. They are usually fairly secure, and come with a 1 hour fire rating of 1200-1400 degrees. You can also order greater fire protection for a nominal cost, but as with all fire proof safes, you will want to place silica gel to prevent moisture from damaging your coins.

     

    The size of the safes are 60.5" x 30.5" x 42". For collectors on a limited budget, I think it is by far the best option available. I picked up two at a local Bass Pro Shops (or some analog) for $999 each.
