How do you safeguard your valuable collections??

[TheJuns Hoard-migration]

 

You guys keep your coin collection in a safe deposit box??

2ton Safe in the house?? Secret hiding spots?? Under the mattress?

or what??

 

I dont have much of a collection to worry about.

but when it gets to the point of alot of value..

I wonder how to safely keep them.

 

also do you all insure your coins?

 

thanks

Insurance is a must for higher-vauled collections, and Safe Deposit Boxes are also good.

- I was expecting to see one of those gun posts from ATS, complete with the anti-gun/pro-gun bickering!

 

My answer: AirTites combined with an attack cat.

The Marine corps gave me countless hours of training on the proper handleing and safety of many types of firearms...Be a shame to waste it.

Well, let's see my kids are about 4' tall. So a shelf about 6' counting for step stools and curtain climbing. Not to mention decoys placed strategically on my nightstand.

Well if they get past the Great perinese and chihuahua outside, oh yea, and boxer turtle, then inside they have to get thru the 2 parrots, the cat, the teacup chihuahua, and then the boxer. If they get past that, they have the wife to go thru, then I'll wake up and finish what is left with either of my 3 12gauges, or the 30-30 if I can get the scope on'em!

 

Forgot that dang cat!!!

[pendragon1998]

I find a nice foothold trap works well for children under 5' tall. Foothold traps are quite humane these days according to my wildlife management techniques class.

Thats an easy question , but "Be vewy vewy qwiet"

9 mm under the pillow and the usual claymores and assorted booby traps at key entry positions. I also don't light the " Coins For Sale here" light anymore The good stuff is hidden so well sometimes I can't find it. Everything else is under lock and key or in a safe bolted to the floor. That doesn't count the stuff that remains at my work table in the man cave because I can't quite decide what to do with it US Army 11B40 Vietnam 69-70 and I can still shoot

Safe deposit box at the bank.

Colt LightWeight Commander in .45ACP here....

 

..seriously though... I keep my coin colection in the gun safe. It's certainly enough to keep the kids out of it as well as all but the most determined theives. If I had more money invested in it...and there are some SERIOUS collections here... I'd opt for a safety deposit box at my local bank. I've got less than $5K invested in my entire collection though...Leo

I broke up my collection into three parts. Each is in a different ordinary brown box. I figure somebody would have to know its there before they actually find it.

I have a guillotine positioned such that anyone reaching for my coins will have their hand promptly removed.

Everything is in a safe deposit box and fully insured.

In a locked large briefcase at my GF trailer (it is a kinda weathered trailer but nice inside with an above ground pool on a secluded piece of property I inherited with lots of trees - I moved her in there about 3 yr ago) - about 300 slabbed coins, mostly gold in the bc which is in a locked closet only I have a key to. She does not know whats in the briefcase / closet nor care - she is there during the 2 days a week when I see her and gone at night when she is dancing at the club (nightshift). I was by there for a 3am swim in the pool with her last Wednesday nite after she got off work and checked - the bc is still there. She also packs a rifle and pistol I gave her and will shoot intruders on sight. She knows not to mess with my stuff - I have provided her a car and place to live. As I am the one who purchased the trailer (and pool) for the property, I also have a key to the place. One would not suspect such a modest place would be a rare coin depository let alone have anything worth stealing.
