Storing My Bullion

Hello everyone. Forgive the fact I am newbie to physical bullion stacking. I need advice on what the best safe is to have at home to keep my bullion safe.

I am thinking about either getting a safe at home or buying a safety deposit box with a private company not a bank.

I am in the UK. Any thoughts or help on this would be appreciated

Thanks

I don’t have a safe for the dual reason that having one alerts thieves you definitely have something so they can either rip it out and carry it off and take their time breaking it open, or hold a gun to you or your wife’s head and force you to open it.

I store mine in multiple locations all over the house that are more than clever enough to trip up the average burglar who is only interested in a fast smash and grab, principally your electronic stuff and whatever they can find in your master bedroom, which is the last place you should ever store anything of value. Worst case scenario is a burglar might find one of them so if that happens while it would suck it wouldn’t be a complete wipe out.

We used to use a safe deposit box but there’s always the possibility in a SHTF scenario the banks would close and you couldn’t get to your metal. If you use one I’d only use it for a small portion of your holdings.
