I'm starting to get a nice little stack going now and my current method of storing silver is no longer sufficient.
I originally bought it as a jewellery box but after putting the stuff I intended it for in I still had some space in it.
Each of the Cufflink sections can fit 5 capped coins or 6/7 uncapped Eagles, 8 at a squeeze but I didn't want to damage the box or get my coins stuck.
I'm feeling like it's getting close to the time that I should start to consider a larger, more secure option.
I've seen some of the safe threads but I'm not really sure what I'm look at in them.
Not safe or secure, but where I keep it is.
That's a nice case. I'd get one myself if I had any nice coins I wanted to display.
I'm looking for something to secure my stack and other valuables in though.
Thinking a safe is what I need.
Not sure where to even start looking for that though.
Where do you keep it then??
Down in the vault of course.
I wont say which one because I still use a Ammo safe for smalls.
But good luck getting in..... LOL.... I Cant go into details...….
Talking of safes, I recommend everyone do a magnet test before buying. A lot of manufacturers cheap out on certain components and use solenoids to retract the bars and open the doors which are magnetic. Get a strong magnet, put it in a sock (so you can remove it again!) and put it on the front of the door as demonstrated here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3p5KUNfDG0 . If you can open the door, your safe, the standards and security ratings that may come with it are worthless.
Some of those little safes look cool.
Hard to tell from the pictures what one has the space I would want though.
Those gun safes are cool. Wish I had something I could use them for.
Ammo safes are great. Perfect size for you until you get in the 5k plus mark on silver.
Putting some of the safe names into YouTube gives some hilarious results of people cracking them with ease.
To be fair most of the safes are a means of privacy in your own home rather than actual security.
I take it the Certified and Eurograde ones are the way to go?
Exactly. More important than a safe is adequate insurance. The home insurance I have covers my modest stack and doesn’t even require me to have a safe (although I do have an equally modest safe through choice).
My natwest contents insurance for renters covers me for items in a bank safety deposit box but not for PMs in my home.
There are so many different policies out there. Should be something to suit all scenarios.
There is no safe that is 100% secured. With time, any safe can be broken into. They are just meant to stall or make it more troubling for the people cracking into it.
