If you zoom in closely to the top left corner of the safe, there is a warning sticker that tells you not to post a picture on the internet of where you hide your safe.
Why anyone would discuss their security on the internet is insane, IMO.
That said, here is one thing I do.
Every coin is unique, mine more than others, but the principle is the same. Have high-end Images of every important coin stored on an external hard drive and on the internet.
Make it known that you have every important coin photographed.
There are some shortcomings there, however, I applaud the effort at personal security... and there are many great points about that setup as well. Cheers, RickO

Can you expand on the shortcomings and great points for everyone's benefit? I am interested to know. Thank you
My mother-in-law had one of those wall safes and forgot the code. Before she sold her house she asked me to crack it. I thought I needed a hand held electric grinder, but the thing opened like butter using 3 crowbars.
You are better off keeping that empty as a concentration point for burglars and hiding your goodies somewhere else.

I have my coins in a backpack that is worn by vicious Doberman pinscher dogs (one true pack, 11 decoy packs, a total of twelve vicious dogs) that are also trained to use assault weapons and call 911, if necessary

They were miniature disks of shining gold, smaller than pennies, the kind that had not been in circulation since the days of Nat Taggart; they bore the head of the Statue of Liberty on one side, the words “United States of America—One Dollar” on the other, but the dates stamped upon them were of the past two years.

The top and thinner drawers look as if they hold coins that are raw or in capsules. Could you show a photo of one of those and how it holds/displays coins?

Now all we need to do is find a house with a portrait of Ayn Rand.
You forgot to tell us what the code is

You do know that since you posted the picture of your safe on the internet that we can now see the combination whenever you key it in.

i like how it's ayn rand. what would be in her safe, i wonder?
First place I would look if I were a burglar.
I bet John Galt is in there.
Don’t worry guys, this is his decoy safe. He wants us to find this one

All of my collection is in a safe deposit box!
She just winked at me!
In case I get surprised, I have a couple of boxes of cheap shiny proof widgets in a locked file drawer to give to thieves.
The good stuff is in the bank vault or well hidden in the house. Not even the wife knows the home hiding spot.

Ummmmm, if something happens to you, what's the plan?
That is what she makes you think.
Location is written out in the bank vault along with lists of passwords and other important stuff.....

I would hide them right outside either by the fish pond or in the banana bushes

Love it, and the portrait, too.
..Or with Moses in the bulrushes!
But is your hidden safe fireproof?

Bad idea IMHO. Burglars check for that.
Plastic baggies in septic tank.
Dog doesn't like anyone but me, and hubby (sorta.) She probably keeps my stuff more secure than the safe or the guns do...

All anyone needs to do is google "how I hide my goodies" and your goodies are not hidden anymore.
I like that it has a huge label that says “Elecronic Digital Safe”. Just in case you don’t know what it is! Doh!

Where did you pick up the box?
That's what stops the thieves.

I hide mine in none of your business.
Something for for the would be thief to think about.
That's amazing! Same combination as my luggage.

My strategy is about collecting what I intend to keep, not investing in what I plan to sell.
