How do you store your stash?

[CRHQueen]

A recent thread was posted where an individual lost a stash hidden in his car due to theft. This got me thinking,

How or where do you store your stash?

And if anyone should try to come in, I do have a pitbull. She isn't in a good mood she just had surgery so I wouldn't want to cross her.

Looooove pitbulls! You should post a pic of her!

gun safe as well, the thing is so heavy there's no way in hell anybody would get away with it, not to mention the 6-digit code to open the safe with numbers ranging from 0-99 it's so sensitive that even if you're off by 1-2 numbers, it won't open.
fire resistant for somewhere 10 mins+ too, bolted to the floor. but hopefully i never will have to find that one out!

I usually hide my stash up my nose. I feel its the safest and most fun spot to hide it.

In a jar on my desk.

Statistically speaking, just like investments, you should probably diversify. Put some of the stash in a safe, hide some, and put some in a safety deposit box. That way, if one of the bad scenarios I listed above happens to you, you haven't lost the whole stash...just a portion of it.​

good idea

These safes are fire resistant for 10-15 minutes. But unless you have a meth lab in your house with a lot of highly combustible compounds, I seriously doubt a fire in your home is gonna get up to the 1764 degrees F needed to actually MELT your silver stash. Right

To those of you who like to show it off/enjoy your coins... I would be careful these days who you show your silver/coins to, esp if you just leave that stuff layin around. I suggest rotating your collection between home / bank.

Bank deposit boxes are the way to go. When was the last time you heard of someone robbing bank deposit boxes? Or getting your box audited?

I'm no firefighter but I would not be shocked to see that a run of the mill house fire reaches those kind of temps....

OPSEC

Eggs, baskets, not all in one, etc.

My silver is safely stashed in a safe on Mars, or maybe its a SDB, or something?

Yeah, they are totally safe from all criminals....except for the criminals in government.

For those of you who question whether or not a house fire will get hot enough to melt silver, here is but a small example-



Melted Morgan Dollar

As for where I keep my stash... a little here and a little there.

 

[Nickel Searcher 219]

Sell it on ebay as minor damage and major toning.THIS COIN IS HOTTTT!!! LOL

 

[MIhunter]

90% of my stash is in safety deposit boxes (different banks). My binders with my coin collections is mostly at home for the kids and I to enjoy, but the gold, morgan dollars, and tubes of halves and dimes are in the bank. Fire or theft is much more likely than collaspe of civil society. If a bank fails, it is reopened quickly for safety deposit boxes owners to get the contents of their boxes.

I'm wondering how often that happens. Has anyone here experienced this?

I keep my goods in a 1,900 lb safe, rated for temperatures that will never be seen in a house fire, 2-step fire seals, anti pry doors, and another few hundred pounds of stuff inside. It ain't going anywhere.

Is it bolted down?

Out here in earthquake country, where almost all houses are wood-framed, a house fire absolutely will get hot enough to severely damage coins. I've heard many stories of people losing their collections after the 1991 Oakland hills fire.
