Short of a political and/or economic catastrophe a safe deposit box is a good solution. Just make sure you know the financial transaction activity required by your banking institution so that your account isn't closed due to inactivity and your box contents liquidated. For example some banks only count withdrawals as signs of activity, not deposits.

@pepactonius: I like your photos of your coins idea but only if the photos are not stored online or on a computer connected to the Internet. I wouldn't want to provide tech savvy thieves an online catalogue of what they might steal.

As much as I'd sometimes like to share and discuss my stacking and collecting with friends and family in the real world, it's just too risky. Social engineering is the tool the bad guys use to find targets. I figure keeping quiet is the best way to avoid unwanted attention.

That is why I support this forum. It isn't safe to display or discuss elsewhere. Once you get old certain people seem to resent how you spend what they anticipate should be their rightful inheritance. Oh, they will eventually get some of it... Thirty silver shekels each should be a swift kick of karma, wouldn't you think?

Sorry for the off topic chatter folks. We'll fix this now.

@Hello There, without wanting to encourage this line of discussion, older kids for me means teenagers. As for the "don't get me started" part, I'm referring to the trouble many (but not all) young adults have in understanding the value of money while making irrational demands based on a heighten sense of entitlement coupled with a poorly thought out political identity that changes and mutates faster than the latest pop fashion trend. But that's just me. I'm not trying to speak for anyone else.

I'm sure some older members here have their own experiences with such issues. If we really want to discuss this further, let's do it in another thread.

Don't get me started with the kids I go to school with. My friends tell me to sell my coins so I can get a good computer, blah blah blah.


Any ways, back to displaying PMs. I just found a good place for my safe with my PMs in it. I also bought a desiccant for my safe to keep my coins safe.

I just cant enjoy them if they arent out. I have both gold and silver out on my desk, all the time.

I was at first from the school of keeping it all locked up all the time. But you can't enjoy it, you just cant.

What I do is keep the most recent out... then I rotate coins yearly, and the one's from previous years that I really like, I keep them out longer.

This way, I can enjoy the coins, their designs and just how some of these mints put out some great coins!

Now, if you were buying rolls and rolls of silver and rolls and rolls of gold and they are out everywhere, ehhhh I dunno that might not be great.

I would like to display stuff but in my situation its far too risky I feel. Only person who has any idea of what I have is the old lady and she understands to never talk about it to anyone.
My mother and father and brother and sister know I like coins and silver but don't know what I have at all as I always downplay the collections size and refuse to be specific at all.


I agree with that. My old lady knows the most, with my parents knowing that I like to buy/sell a lot of different things as prices change, but not one of them know exactly what I have.... that's only for me to know until someone finds it after I die. For all they know I could have already sold it all besides the bullets

When I grow up I want to be rich enough to have 10, 100oz gold bars in my living room and not worry if someone takes them

I don't think i'd ever put anything in my living room or even anything besides the bullets in my bedroom to be honest. I understand the whole nervousness surrounding it, but I feel like the bullets look real enough from far away to not stand out.... but who knows, hopefully i'll never have to post about getting robbed
