Personal safe for your bullion.

I noticed that people spoke about putting their bullion in a safety deposit box at the bank and I thought that defeated the purpose of having physical bullion in your home and available to you at any time you want access to it. The first thought I had was buying a personal safe with fire and water damage protection. The question I have is does anyone have that sort of safe and if you do what kind is it? Where did you get it from and how much did it cost you?

I forget where my dad got his......
I keep my bullion out in the open.
is the burglar going to break the safe, or the tissue paper box?

or put your bullion in a tissue box, then put some unused tissues over it. just be sure to put it in a place where no sick person can get to.

 

But id need about 200+ tissue boxes. You think that would raise suspicion

hmmm, have you tried hiding them in empty food boxes put them in a storage room and say your making sure you have food incase you lose your job....

locks keep honest people out. if a burglar want your stuff, he'll take the safe first.

 

Not without putting a 6 foot hole through the side of the house

 

that's a lot of bullion. how many safes do you have????? does every room have two safes or something?
that's a lot of bullion.........

 

I debated getting a safe for a long time. A good safe, like one made by amsec or Liberty, is quite expensive - a thousand dollars and up. Plus a few hundred dollars to move it. Then, if you move, you would have to move the dang thing again. In my eyes a real safe weighs 800 pounds and up.

In the end, I used my safe funds to buy bullion - which is kept in a SBD.

 

If you want to store bullion in your home, my recommendations have always been:

• Buy a good safe, not some wholesale warehouse or sporting goods store junk.
• Bolt it to the floor, or better yet the floor and wall(s).
• Integrate it into your home alarm system.
• Install booby traps.

Also recommended:

• Get to know your neighbors so they might call the cops if they see something suspicious.
• Get a dog.
• Own and know how to use guns.
• Install a few discreet cameras. Not the kind that your neighbors would find offensive, but the kind that a burglar would probably notice when he's casing your house.

Implementing effective physical and electronic security in the home can be expensive. For renters, it's nearly impossible. For many people, the advantages of storing their bullion in a safe deposit box outweigh the disadvantages.

• Own and know how to use guns. triple check!
• Install a few discreet cameras. Not the kind that your neighbors would find offensive, but the kind that a burglar would probably notice when he's casing your house. we will be getting these within the next three months

 

Gun safe is a great option. Just check the fire rating for quality.

 

last year my little safe wasn't cutting it for size. I had to upgrade so i bought a 12 gun gun safe( about 4 feet high and 1 1/2 feet wide). It has a fire proof rating and everything and i got it for 500 bucks before tax on sale at Menards. Very good investment in my opinion.

 

In a regular brown box next to the garbage can....Nothing fancy or expensive

 

$500 = 25 ounces of silver? How much do you have that you would feel a 12 gun safe was necessary? Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just store the silver?

 

Got my eye on you 'Jester. Snowden got away but we'll throw a net on you soon........

J/k of course.

 

tape it up and no burglar would ever think to look in there....

I could have bought $500 worth of silver instead of a safe but then what if someone broke in and stole ALL my silver including the $500 worth.

 

Put the box next to a cat box and nobody will want to get within 20 ft of it.
