    I buy gold and other assets on a dollar cost average schedule and then buy more as price and interest allow. If you want to know more about buying gold coins, that is my primary focus here. I talk a bit about mining stocks and other equities as well. Cheers!

    Great topic. I've received some criticism as well for mentioning that I keep most of my gold off site. Several locations spread out. I've been doing it for years. No need to put your primary residence if you don't have to and if you have friends and family that have the ability and security to store it. Take advantage of it. One is nearby where I can pick some up if I need to show in a video. Always good to have some security system too.

      Pulling out the back of a removable kitchen shelf and cutting a small slot on the back would be effective. Or, if you don’t have the tools to do that, you could simply wrap your coins and allow them to sink to the bottom of a half used can of paint.

    There are so many ways to secure and hide precious metals that it almost doesn't matter. Granted, if you're keeping your stack nicely displayed on your coffee table, you've got a problem. So long as you're not talking about it, precious metals just aren't that hard to hide. I do think it makes sense to spread it out both in your home and in multiple locations, if we're talking about more than 100 ounces of Gold, or if you've got a Silver stack of 1,000 ounces or more. Most people just aren't there though. Unless or until a person reaches that level, common sense can usually keep you safe enough. All of that changes if you live in a high-crime area, inside a big city, etc... But for the most part, when people break into your home, they are looking for electronics, jewelry, and drugs. They aren't going to rummage through every area of your home looking for an obscure collection of metal. If they somehow know that you have a coin collection, then you just do what I do. You keep your stack of 40%, your War Nickels, a tube or two of Ike dollars, some fake Gold coins, etc... and just have them in an obvious place where people might see them if they were really looking. 9 times out of 10 if they do look for more than the electronics, jewelry and drugs, they're gonna find what they think is your coin collection and bolt. I even keep some old foreign coins that are Gold in color (aluminum-bronze), which are in coin flips and marked "Gold". Unless the thieves are coin experts, they aren't going to know that they aren't getting the real thing.

The item can be breached by someone with tools and knowledge. I consider that it will only deter crackheads. It has a very big draw back. Its obvious due to its size. Zero concealment.

    Those are good ideas. The only thing I will say is that I have personally found that safety deposit boxes tend to be really bad for a few reasons. In some banks their policy actively states that you're not allowed to hold gold, silver or in some cases anything of value in them. Other banks won't allow you to purchase specie insurance. In short all the ones that I have looked into (the banks around where I have lived) have some major issue that rules them out. Thanks as always, sir!

    The best advice given by people that work or have worked on something related to security is first don't hide or store everything in a single place and second store it on places that are either on plain view or places that are less obvious or unrelated to what you're storing.

    Hello there! I thought about your question for a while... Would I be comfortable keeping 100K cash in the house? Probably not, but what would worry me even more would be to keep it somewhere I can't supervise it, so I would like to keep it close to me. Yes, it would be ideal to have multiple locations, but most of us own only one home. I could ask family out of state to keep it for me, but money (gold) does something to people and that something is seldom good. (Ask Gollum). So, I do worry that I keep too much at home, but I would worry more and I didn't have it with me. It's a tough situation for sure. Thank you for the video. It definitely warrants a part 2...

    Like your videos, love to see the gold. You should be very cautious though and probably not mention that you travel a lot or at all. I am curious if you have insurance and is insurance for bullion coin stacking different than insurance for collectibles? For collections it generally requires appraisals and when adding to a collection, one needs to update the insurance policy - can be quite annoying. I would like to hear your thoughts on insurance, etc.

    • @2is1gold
      @2is1gold  Před 3 lety

      Traveling is the wrong word. I split time between three locations. The largest portion of gold is always either with me or vaulted. I haven’t run into that issue with insurance, but it has come up in other comments. Anything I have itemized is valued at replacement value. The initial ’appraisal’ may have only set that at spot price, though. I’ll have to follow up on that. Cheers!

  • @dalepres1
    @dalepres1 Před rokem +2

    There's a huge difference between storing 50 ounces and in not storing 100K in cash. The assumption I make is that if the cash is good then the banks are working. When one system is broken, it is possible they are both broken so there's never a need to store a hundred thousand in cash at home. I may not be able to get to it in the hour I choose but I can get it in a few hours.
    In fact, the chances of me ever needing 100K cash at home are very slim. Perhaps 10K for a weekend emergency that requires me to pay unexpected expenses but, in reality, just a few thousand in cash makes the most sense. For any more than that, I'd use a credit card or get more cash from the bank, or both.
    Gold or other metals, on the other hand, are not hugely valuable to me today, I can't buy a thing with them at the local Piggly Wiggly, so I don't actually need them at home at all but when that 100K in cash becomes worthless, or when those banks are no longer going to open at all, I really need the metals but I can't get them from the banks. And when I need gold and silver, I'm going to likely need all of it or need it in small amounts but over a long period of time - such as forever.
    So when considering disaster preparedness, comparisons based on dollar amounts neither ask nor answer the appropriate question. They're totally different scenarios. On the other hand, if you're younger, and your metals are more for investment and wealth accumulation, then your plan might be to sell your metals for profit in the future, better to have your metals in a vault so you have them when it's time to sell them.

    • @myjunkmail007

      The scenario you described is exactly what brought me to this video. Now I'm trying to determine how much is a good amount and how comfortable I would be storing/hiding in my home. I'm no expert but seems like silver would be the best to have in a shtf situation. I can't imagine bartering or buying anything worth an ounce of gold. Especially if I'm potentially not getting any change back.

    the key is that no thief will ever start looking in every corner of your house for gold unless he knows that you hide gold; they get in, they steal what they can, they open some drawers looking for money and they leave; just think about the week before you bought your first gold, would you have imagined a thief coming to your house and looking for gold in a hidden spot? Nope. But as soon as you buy ONE coin, you start thinking about thieves being able to find it even in the most remote corner :D By now, we all know that gold and Fight Club share the same first rule :D
