My ASE's and quality numismatic finds are stored in AirTite coin holders. My junk silver coins are stored in rolls. I'm not going to post here where I store the silver stash, sorry.

I have no problem telling you where I store them. IN A SAFE DEPOSIT BOX, never at home. If they are at home they are in a safe
that is fire and water resistant, bolted to the floor behind a steel door. Oh by the way, I have five dobermans that don't take kindly
to unannounced visitors so be very cautious if you visit..... :laughing7:
 
This topic comes up every so often. Diversity is the safest way to store them bar "none"

How anyone can think their way is the only "safest" way is amusing since any "one" of what someone thinks is the safest has proven to not be.

Safety deposit boxes have been confiscated or illegaly taken by the goverment not to mention how much has been lost to other means [look it up theres a reason they offer insurance]

Houses have been robbed , flooded etc where all but the biggest heaviest safes have been lost.

The biggest heaviest safes can still be robbed especially by another family member.

It is said that a good thief knows exactly where your "safest hiding place" is

Diversity, diversity diversity - all your ideas are good when combined
 
It has been interesting reading the replys to this post. I took it to mean "how" as in what manner, ie tubes, paper rolls, etc. Not as in where.

I keep my 40%ers in the paper NF String rolls that I get from boxes. 90%ers go in plastic coin tubes. That way I can easily tell them apart.

And I am not saying where I store them :)

That's the way that I took it too. I think he wants to know the best way to store them so that they don't tarnish or ruin. I don't think he cares to know that your secret hiding place is under your bed... :tongue3:
 
Mine are in a mason jar, buried near a rock, on a certain piece of property.....I'm old school. :laughing9:

I took it that way also, when I posted "Behind my guns" I was just
trying to make funny, I'm sorry if I deflected the thread off topic.
I have silver in plastic tubes, fancy cases, and cardboard tubes
from food saver bag rolls, oh yeah, I have some coins vacuum
sealed in food saver bags also,

....Stored in Rolls (the plastic ones for ASE's), little plastic ziplock baggies, a locking bank bag, and some of those air-tight coin holders in a safe........

If the girl don't scare them off, I'll stick the DOG in there somewhere...... :laughing7:

Hope that was less nebulous that my first answer :laughing7:

Vetteguy you sure do add spice, thanks for cracking me up! ffd

:laughing7: I wanted to inject humor while still respecting the original subject.....sorry, I'll behave. (Part of the reply is real.......LOL)

:laughing7: :hello:
 
you guys are hilarious thanks for the quick replies and for the good laughs. theres some great ideas, i was also thinking of vacuum sealing them. i am not worried about space right now since i have less than 20 coins, but hopefully it will be a problem later. thanks again and good luck to everyones hunts.
 
Personally I keep mine in a stainless steel airtight container that I need to fish out of the bottom of my septic tank once a week to add my ag to. You are welcome to come an get it anytime you want.

Um... I wouldn't seal them in plastic. Food grade plastic (like what most will be vacuum sealed in) usually contains PVC. Over time, PVC will create green slime on your coins which will damage them.

Mylar is coin safe and is used in most newer cardboard 2x2s, if you could vacuum seal with that, it might work. But do not use food grade plastics or anything containing PVC on coins.
 
In plastic tubes & then in the safety deposit box. Keep a few at home for emergencies.. S&W 9MM locked & loaded.. reattty to go. Doug

The U.S. Government has the authority to prohibit the private possession of gold and silver coin and bullion by U.S. citizens during wartime and declared emergencies. Which is why I keep mine in the sock drawer. :wink:
