I'd say be careful with whom you share your stack with. It can be really tempting to talk with co workers, friends and family about your hobbies. But statistics have shown robbery and murder are usually commited by someone personally associated to the victim. And maybe your friend is nice, but isn't great at keeping things on the down low lol.
And even if you only tell people you absolutely trust, they might tell people who _they_ trust, and _they_ might in turn tell people _they_ trust etc etc..
Great topic. One thing that I do and will share is I have a portable safe in my closet with noting but some spare change in it to rattle. Covered up with a tshirt making it look 'hidden' that's my decoy! Also keep it in multible locations and multible places with a location (depenting on quaintly).
First of all I keep a couple of 'Cheapies' on show to distract the opportunistic thieves. I keep some of my stack in a fire and waterproof safe with a GPS tag inside it. However, most of my bullion is buried 1m underground in a secure place in waterproof packaging on a rural property, only my wife and I know where and the location is noted in my will with my lawyer.
I keep my bullion in a safe deposit box at my bank. Pro: Much safer than storing/hiding at home. Con: You don't have 24/7 access to your treasures. I found that, for me, the pro outweighs the con by far.
I've been robbed 4 times in the last 25 years all in different locations. My thieves took things that were visible and easy to carry that looked valuable and not too smart about what actually was valuable. Less than $500 worth of stuff taken each time, still a pain to have to deal with. Now I keep a dummy safe with rolls of cents and nickles in it under my desk and another with old motorcycle battery in the back of a bedroom closet ;) If burgled again hopefully they'll find those and take them and run. Real stash is hidden pretty well in different locations.
I took reciept of a very small quantity of silver the other day. Purchased it from The Royal Mint, but the package was absolutely plastered in warnings and completely obvious what was inside (multiple references to royal mint, consignee only and the word 'numatic' on it). The delivery man told my mother he thought it was a precious package. Does this happen with all orders? Is it normal? Is it normal for the UK? I am very new to stacking and dislike delivery staff from 3rd party distribution centres knowing details about my orders and the precise order location of my metals. I'd be interested to hear of any companies that deliver discretely, or whether it's an industry-standard to light the package up like a christmas tree on heat...
I've found that hiding things in plain sight and having a lot of fake and clad coins hanging around in obvious places is often enough to keep the core of your stack quite safe.
I looked into home owners insurance and the insurance lady said just about what you said BYB. You have update the policy every time you buy a 10 oz bar or a few rounds. I'm not doing that every pay check! Also me personally I'm just total against sharing my belonging with the insurance company!!
Our home has been broken into twice. First, the thieves only went thru drawers and into closets, but didn't go into our child's room. We live in a state where tornadoes have struct, and fires are a risk at any home. Deception works. Put stuff where no one would ever think anything valuable would be located. Put coins in a can of beans looking container stored in a storage shed that is covered by a lock and alarm.
1. Generally a gun safe is nowhere near as well made and secure as a typical safe. This is especially true in regards to being "fireproof." 2. Insurance. Homeowners and renters insurance will not cover currency or any proxy for such. You will have to get a specific policy to cover things like precious metals.
The biggest security advice is not to tell people about your stack, even your friends & family. Loose lips sink ships and get people robbed. One of your friends bragging about your silver stack can lead to you being a target. You may trust these people but trust me they talk. Even an innocent conversation can lead to revealing your wealth as a target.
So nice to see that 1oz gold QB White Lion of Mortimer, I'm looking forward to having one in my hand. SorryYB, here is my story, tools to break in were used to pry open a bolted down safe. Bolting down the safe facilitated access. My advice if you have a safe, leave it accidentally unlocked with some cheap dress jewelry in it. Look at your furniture for possible voids, ie. radiator covers, fire surrounds, create voids in cupboards and book cases using matching materials. Create a false 'floors' underneath tables. How about behind silicon sealed to the floor plinths panels under kitcken units. The silicon sealed boards can be hinged down to reveal a copious void. What about a false floor if you have a chest freezer? Check out a host of ideas from double bagging in tins of paint to false sewer pipes if you have a basement and many other ideas on UA-cam. Going on holiday? Make sure your address is not exposed on your luggage and if possible have a trusted family or friend to house sit, reciprocate when they go on holiday. By the way, my safe is a gun safe designed to hold ammunition so that it has shelving.
Agreed...must have multiple levels of security. I might add, watch out for electronic safes, they can be cracked with rare Earth magnets. Personally I like digging holes!!! Just make sure the kids don't throw the map away😂😂😂 Keep doing what you do👍
Great video BYB, some good ideas. The gun safe is a very good idea as is decoys and some less valuable hidden in plain sight. I would add an intruder alarm, cameras and means of self protection.
BYB sometimes I wonder what we say on videos and write in the replies here may not be such a good idea , saying I got this coin or that coin but we have to communicate , I just dont tell my neighbors but I'm sure the mailman knows , its kind of scary but we cant live in fear. Good advice
So far the mailman, ups and FedEx all got nosy and asked what's in my package, they all know. I had to tell them I'm stacking ammunition but I don't think they believe me.
The easiest way to hide your gold or silver is to go to a home depot, buy 1metre of toilet pipe 100mm, buy a blank end cap for one end and a screw end cap, which has a rubber seal for the other end.cut the pipe to the amount of storage you need, then use plumbers pipe solvent to glue the two ends on.now you have a waterproof safe. Easy to open and shut, just fill up and bury somewhere in your garden etc. If really paranoid scatter a load of iron nails or likewise to prevent metal detectors.
Great video BYB 😎 awesome info and fantastic advice. Personally I'm collecting silver purely to eventually melt down and custom cast. Kept hidden and in plain site.... Keep the cool videos coming. Enjoy getting my fix.
Most thieves will steer well clear of gun cabinets in the uk. Theft of a firearm is serious business and just isn’t worth the potential payout. There also built really well and surprisingly cheap for there size.
I just finished an under ground safe. Made of concrete. I have a couple of pcs of silver inside a 5 gal- air tight pail. Test run. I know it will flood and freeze so i want to see how it fairs. Mite make a video. But gotta keep it SHHhh. Rite !?
@@BackyardBullion Of corse. Gave it a lot of thought. Only my daughter knows and put it in my Will just in case. Completely buried under something inconspicuous. But easy access yr round- l hope- we will see. Part of the test.

Three houses were burgled in our area in the past two weeks and each time they got away with large amounts of Indian gold. The last house that was burgled had €200,000 of Indian gold taken from the house! Think most people would conclude that these burglars had inside information. As we all know £200,000 of gold is easily transportable and there will always be an unscrupulous buyer around to purchase it...
@@garrycroft4215Indian people use gold in religious ceremonies, give it as wedding gifts, birthday presents and most families with money like to purchase some gold jewelry etc. I suppose the wealthy Indians purchase gold to conserve their money- let's face the wealthy do this in every country! I am surprised though they had £200,000 of gold in their house? Three houses containing Indian gold all burgled within a short period of time? It just has to be a group of people, most probably within their own community, that have burgled these houses....
That's a problem with stacking as a hobby. Normally you join a group and talk about what you have. Stackers don't do this. The only one who knows I have PM's is my brother in a different state. SO I have an alarm system, my 9 mm, a safe and some hidden elsewear.
I’m a 16 year old coin collector. A little over a year ago I had most of my collection stollen. If there’s any advice I have. Expect people to be snooping around. Don’t trust family friends or co workers to be around your belongings while you have your back turned. Last but not least always insure your coins the rates aren’t bad and it’s definitely worth paying.
I’m 14 and I have around $3000 in gold and silver coins and some numismatic coins as well. I have a 100 pound safe. It’s fire proof it’s mostly for that because it could be easily carried off. But I have it hidden under blanket around a couple plastic bins and some old guitar cases and my spare amp. Don’t brag at all ever to anyone except your parents. Siblings may tell friends at school especially younger ones and the friends tell their parents which may rob you when your not home. So I hope that you have continued to collect and stack. I’m sorry that happened to you. How much was your collection worth when it was stollen.
Hi BYB, Is that a 1oz gold proof lion? Interesting topic. I quite like the locker companies as they have insurance as well as provide easy access to your locker. One downside is to find one near where you live can be a challenge.

very great video, I was thinking about getting a light lockbox just to get them in and get them out safe with things I am ok with losing or false coins. my neighbor walked into his house mid robbery and he said he would have rather found out after or had it happen while he was home. the billions are just more silver to me as well I even play with my silver look at it and enjoy it, whats the point if you are not going to enjoy it.
Best way is to not mention it to anyone. And act and look poor and homeless. That keeps the robbers away But we live in a time where robbers would steal fiat money; computers and cellphone and TV. They absolutely have no understanding of the value of precious metals.

Why buy a safe when you have so much open space in the back of the washing machine, just take the back off and fill. CCT did a great vid showing some good ideas, getting some plumbing pipe filled with coins stuck under your sink etc but is is horrible that you cant just have a nice display to proudly show any guest your passion without fear of the five finger git.

But i was making the point of thinking outside of the box, how much wasted space is there under the bath? or keep your hot water tank if you have a combi boiler fitted and stack it in a converted empty storage cylinder.
Just a thought, when thieves break and enter, they go for the fastest takes(unless of course they know when you'll be returning), that said, they usually go for the STUDY, or the MASTER BEDROOM.

You would be surprised how hot a house fire gets - gold melts at only 1050 degrees and some bonfires get that hot depending on the fuel that's in there. So definitely possible
I only keep my eye candy silver coins with me in a lock box. If that is stolen I don't care(much). I keep my gold in a private vault in my own lock box. I opt for the additional insurance so I'm doubly covered. I would not be comfortable having any gold in the house.
I don't display anything in the house, and say nothing about what I have. That is a big help to begin with.
Wise idea, thanks for sharing!

Better look at objective measures of the security (such as actual tests of the safe) or listen to professions.
So leave a fully loaded pistol ready to fire inside the safe.

@@BackyardBullion 1,500°-2,000° not uncommon, what does glass melt at? because it often does.
A gun safe is not high security.
I only keep my eye candy silver coins with me in a lock box. If that is stolen I don't care(much). I keep my gold in a private vault in my own lock box. I opt for the additional insurance so I'm doubly covered. I would not be comfortable having any gold in the house.
If they break into my house while I’m home they won’t be alive long enough to ask me any questions, best believe that shit.
You need to hide it in plain sight.
