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 cryptocurrency, mining stocks and other equities as well. Cheers!

I think small well hidden caches might be more effective for some people, especially considering how little space gold takes up. The main risk is losing track of them.

Excellent and helpful video for sure, I may end up with this safe as it seems practical and a good value. Curious, what does 2 is 1 mean? PS: Glad you like JM Bullion, they were my first online bullion dealer. I've been stacking now for a year and have purchased from several other online dealers as deals pop up, and to survey the good and the bad. My worst experience as far as coin condition goes would be with SD Bullion. Low prices, and even lower quality condition along with lower quality customer service. You being into buying gold for 15 yrs tells me the chances are good that I'm not telling you anything that you may already know. Keep bringing us your perspective as I really appreciate it! 🤘😁🤘 CHEERS!

[@SuperCoopdogg]

A tip for apartment living on the second floor or people with lighter safe in general. If on the second floor and cant go too heavy or bolt to the floor, use a hardened steel plate that is bigger than your door frame and bolt your safe to that. Carriage bolts going up from the bottom and secured from the inside. The bolt head is round on the bottom so they cant be removed without cutting. This works anywhere a safe is kept behind a door, not just apartments

[@2is1gold]

Smart.

[@william38022]

And then put a Eufy security camera on that safe and all around your house and property that way if someone does break in even if you are not home, you’ll know about it and can call the authorities and/or neighbors

[@Ronaldalan114]

Fort Knox 7241 (means it’s 72 inches high by 41 inches wide). Weighs 2200 lbs. costs over $10,000. Considering what it stores…worth it. And it’s a beautiful piece, custom paint and gold leaf. It’s gorgeous.

[@showlow626]

In my mind, security IS a BIG issue when it comes to protecting your valuables and it's a shame that people like 2 is1 can't upload an informative video like this without having a bunch of children make ridiculous comments without even knowing what they are talking about. 2 is 1, this was/is a great video, thanks for posting it, it should be viewed by anyone interested in keeping their metals SAFE.

[@2is1gold]

Yeah, combinations are great for a few reasons. Cheers!

[@OneNationUnderGod.]

Something often overlooked is will your safe and its contents survive the location you store it in a disaster? If it's in your bedroom that is above a basement, will it survive the fall when the bedroom floor fails during a fire? If its in your basement with it survive a flood? Not all flooded basements come from nature. I've seen basements have a couple feet of water in them from the fire department trying to put out or contain the fire. Thats why my safe is on a concrete floor the same level as outside, it'll never flood in that spot and my safe won't have to survive fall damage in a fire.

[@mattv9240]

Great video! I'll have to rethink my next safe purchase. I was looking at a Hollon HS-310E but may have to expand my budget.

[@2is1gold]

[@markd.songsandstuff7728]

Good info video. Some keep PMs in their gun safe. It's wise to bolt safe to floor or wall. Cheaper safes have thinner gauge sheet metal and less fire resistant time. Thin gauge safes can be broken into with long pry bar but it takes some time to bend the metal to open. l have a safe and also security cameras, door/window sensors which I think are good to have. A few security cameras don't cost a lot, self install is cheaper or pay to have them installed.

You could always fool the burglars by buying a second more impressive looking safe and keeping it completely empty. That way, they spend all their time trying to steal the distraction safe 😂.

That's actually not a bad idea. Just buy a cheap Made-in-China RSC gun "safe" (really just an oversized file cabinet) from one of the big box retailers and leave it in plain sight.

I have safe by a company called sturdy safe that I bought about 3 years ago. It was the thickest steel I could buy for the money and they do a fantastic job. They can build you basically whatever you want. 🤠

[@2is1gold]

Sounds great. Cheers!

[@ChainsawKLOBYK]

I got a sturdy about one year ago. delivered on time, no damage. bolt down install and got a few cool custom items. that thick steel needs a torch or plasma cutter. sad cause all I got in it is a few guns. can we all chant $1500 gold oz. I could buy one.

[@strykerentllc]

Nesting doll scenario works quite well; a smaller safe for the PMs inside the bigger safe which is anchored to the slab that houses instruments of destruction. Not going to knock other options such as single, heavy, bolted down units in inconspicuous locations as each person's situation is unique. Don't believe there's a wrong way to go about it as most everyone is defending against the neighborhood's opportunistic vermin. One thing we heard was the electronic key pads can be swapped from safe to safe providing they are of the same manufacturer. Not sure how true that is but it was interesting. Cheers!

Great Video! Super informative and PRACICAL. Thank You. Preciuos metals certianly justifies the cost of protection but the bonus is that these things (safes) hold so many other valuable, estate documents, passports, personal and private records, etc., etc., etc.. I am a believer that everyone should have safe staorge option available to them . It also aids in simply knowing where items are on that day you need to get to them... : ) Oh Honey, which draw did I put that in....

[@2is1gold]

Absolutely. This was a long video already, but the interior organization is easy to nerd out on too. I have organizers, trays and fireproof bags and cases in my safes. I know right where passports are, I know right where birth certificates and hard copies of appraisals and wills are. I feel a lot better keeping all of that lined up and laid out in a heavy duty safe. Cheers!

[@stackerothings]

We did an AMSEC BFII for your safe, mostly for gun. I have recently purchased some gold/silver that will go into it as well

[@Wookietown]

I love nerding out on safes. I don't really know much about Gardall, but I agree with Hollon and AmSec as well as Ft Knox as quality safes. Have never seen a Graffunder but apparently their build tolerances are amazingly tight. The only thing I would add is if a person is looking for a good deal on a TL rated safe, there are some bargains to be had in the used safe domain. Oh, and the "Office Space" reference reminded me of the scene where Michael Bolton was printing something and it gave him the PC Load Letter error and he started swearing at it... so many gems in that movie.

[@2is1gold]

That whole movie is gold.

[@Freeeeeeeedoooooooom]

[@TrevForPresident]

I feel like safes are one of those purchases you do a lot of research for and then commit to one, but it's difficult to have experience with many so you're going to defend whatever you purchased. With that said, I tinkered with a bunch in person and after a lot of research went with a Liberty Safe and have loved it for years.

[@2is1gold]

You definitely get committed to a safe once they’re installed. They’re too heavy to break up with. Reminds me of a problem a college roommate had once. 😄

[@cooldaddyfunk]

@@2is1gold 😂

[@RedShiftedDollar]

Or buy used and focus on the cheapest safe you can find that is tl-15 or above. There’s not much research you can do as a consumer that will give you more insight than the official rating. Beware of safes that have no rating. It’s not just about the thickness of steel. Safes can have design vulnerabilities in the hinges, bars, and the linkages that interact with the lock. A poor design can enable dial punch attacks and such. The rating agency is allowed to review the design of the safe to devise their plan of attack. It’s not just a bunch of guys with drills, saws, and sledgehammers.

I have thought about putting a Burgwatcher royal cashbox inside of a safe something like you have there maybe. I figured I could make a special mounting plate that I could mount the cashbox to and drill a hole in that plate so I could utilize the bolt holes 🕳️ in the safe itself to secure the plate to the safe. I also thought about buying a big stealth safe or maybe an Am Sec. BWB cashiers safe and putting my cheap Sentury safe inside of it. The Sentury safe has an hour fire rating and I believe the stealth safe has a fire rating as well however the AM.SEC. BWB cash safe does not have any fire rating at all.I believe you can also buy special bags that give the fire proof ratings for an hour or two as well for extra sensitive extra important documents.

2:49 Sentry Safes are also very good safes. As well as the ones you mentioned.

[@FNSandDune]

A great option for those who can't bolt a safe to the floor (rented apartments, etc.) is to simply weigh it down with lead. Lead is cheap, and very dense, and you can easily double or even triple the weight of you safe with it without taking up too much room. It also has the added benefit of concentrating the weight at the bottom, making it just that much harder to tip over.

Even using a safety deposit box at a bank can be utilized but keep in mind that the bank doesn't insure the contents. But you can purchase insurance at reasonable rates through a 3rd party insurer that will cover the contents. Can be cheaper than using a vault service depending on value of the contents. One drawback to Vaults and Safe deposit boxes is that you can only access them during business hours.

[@TheOldSchoolExpert]

Maybe I went overboard but I bought a Liberty Presidential 50 safe a couple years ago. I needed the space for other things but my PMs live there too. It has something like a 2.5 hour fire rating and is made of 7 gauge steel. It weighs 1600 pounds so no real need to bolt it to the floor 😅

The best safe you can get for silver stacking is a really heavy secondhand one, from the 80s or 90s. People are practically giving those away, if you arrange and pay for the shipping. If you don't get it for free, you will pay no more than $100 - $1,000. $100 will buy you a 1,500 lbs safe and $800 - $1,000 will buy you a >4,500 lbs safe of the highest security rating that exist (same as used in actual banks). For added security you can disguise it as something else, for example as one of those huge disco bass speakers.

[@superdutyohv3401]

My strategy is a heavy duty gun safe bolted to concrete (rated 60min fire) and within that safe another 1hr rated Honeywell 1114 fireproof safe where all the treasures live. This gives you significant fire resistance. There’s a great KZbin video on the Honeywell where the dude throws it into a camp fire and recovers all items in tact. Double action / double eagle 🦅

I just have an RSC (sturdy safe), mostly for guns.

Unfortunately he’s said smaller high end safes are almost never on the market used, people don’t sell them.

I think the best thing most can do is buy a small lock box to contain your metal and hide it where only you and one other person know and where most would not suspect. a safe might take 15 or 30 minutes to break into vs a package that might take double that to find, if it ever gets found. if u have millions of dollars of metal/property to store, ok, but for most people with 10s or a few 100 thousand I think hiding is best.

I was shopping for safes the other day, I put one on my cart but haven't purchased yet, need to though

[@MrBlue-dm5li]

Got myself a 800lbs safe for insurance reasons along with a home alarm system with direct response action. Since gun laws is effed up here, not much else i can do except having my machetes accessible😅

[@jeffschafer9719]

What is the maximum weight that a floor in an average house can support without reinforcing the floor?

[@uncareid5557]

A couple contrary points- My father in law's house was broken into. He had a super cheap gun safe. Think glorified filing cabinet. The thieves worked on it with a crowbar they got from his garage. They did not breach it. And they would have been disappointed if they had, his taste in guns reflect his taste in safes. Secondly, I moved 460 pound bluestone steps BY MYSELF with a 3 foot bar and some 1/2 inch pipe.(EMT to be specific) I had no trouble positioning a 400 pound gun safe in a friends garage with a similar method. Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum to rest it on and I shall move the earth. I'm more concerned about flood and fire than robbery, so my little guy was purchased because of its ratings in those departments.

[@jg17234]

Great video! I read you should not store Gold and Silver in the same location. Does this still apply if they are in coins in capsules like you have?

[@RedShiftedDollar]

Gold is very inert so I don’t think there’s much to worry about there. One main thing for silver is to avoid PVC in the plastic. Also, if you store gold in a pvc based plastic then nearby silver might be affected. So avoid PVC period. Also, gold in physical contact with the silver might accelerate tarnishing due to galvanic effects but I’m not sure about this because gold is so inert.

[@MrBubbi2000]

I went and got a tiger King safe. I know I know I'm never going to financially recover from this not been too bad it's big bulky, heavy. Reasonably priced

[@nicodutch5859]

Can the safe be set to only allow opening at certain dates and time slots? So the culprits cannot use the code even when they torture it from you.

[@danyrizk9878]

My fears having people see me enter my house in the morning with a new empty safe, only to have it filled up & with my luck robbed by noon. For the record (I am vaulted but not home, I wished it was home tho.

[@2is1gold]

They show up looking pretty similar to a dish washer. The world may never know! (Vaulting is a solid plan too.)

[@elitefitness341]

So, I spent about $500 on a fire resistant gun safe that weighs about 350lbs dry. Bolted her in, got a monitored home security system and a permit with the city, and when I'm home, employ the 2A. Now, I could have gone with a Liberty or something far more costly, but the truth is, you can get into all of them with one method (should that one be chosen) in about 2 -5minutes. They all simply act as another barrier to theft and buy time. The chances are slim, and with the home security system, I'm thinking I'm probably good to go.

[@2is1gold]

“Good enough” is going to be a personal call. I think the home security is probably more important too, but a TL-rated safe is a much different level of tool or mobility deterrence.

[@elitefitness341]

@@2is1gold It is TL-rated. But, that still only gives us a small amount of security. 2-5 minutes (done the right way) and we're screwed Man. They're in. At that point it's the game of do I or the cops get there first? They better hope the cops do ha ha.

[@SergiuM42]

@@elitefitness341don’t think you understood what he said. He’s referring to TL-15 rated safes and above. There’s a difference between UL-rated and TL-rated. Those are a whole different type of beast when it comes to safes. You can’t get a TL rated safe for under $1500 and they weigh 500 pounds minimum for a safe smaller than your microwave. It’s no small amount of security. The doors start with 2 inches of plate steel, at minimum.

[@elitefitness341]

@@SergiuM42 You are correct. But I know exactly what he's saying. What I meant is, is that if one knows how, you can penetrate a safe with a few options of specific tools easily picked up at many stores. Of course, I'm not going to say what they are for obvious reasons. TL is great, but it's not what many people think it is was my point. It takes minutes to get into pretty much any safe and that is the unfortunate reality. Luckily most thieves can't even penetrate any safe efficiently with even a crow bar. Which is not even a good option to be honest.

problem with valuables in that, theft can just carry away open later. or since walls are thin a small carry grinder will cut 14 gauge steel .07 inches in short order. same with box store $2k gun safes, composite door is really thin metal with concrete or something in between and is easy to cut open. you want .25 inch or more of SOLID steel if you gonna use it for anything worth $.

Is your Hollon safe doing well? Are there any problems with that safe we should consider before purchasing it? I work for a living and we live paycheck to paycheck I can’t afford something that needs worked on all the time.

Metal “Job Box” from Home Depot with 2 recessed carbide padlocks @$500 beats any sub &3000 safe IMO put a couple 50# lead weights and a couple hundred pounds of gold (ha eventually!) in it + the 300lbs of the box itself good luck moving it.

[@98red300]

Just curios as to why you didn't go with a TL safe? Spending the extra $1000-$1500 would be safe insurance for the amount of gold that you have. I'm trying to decide between the two myself. I'm leaning towards the TL safe but would love to hear your thoughts. Great video as always!!!!

[@2is1gold]

My primary is a TL-rated safe from one of the other brands. It cost around $2,500 at the time and required pros to move it in. I was looking recently and saw the same safe more or less for nearly $4,000. So, the counterpoints to the much heavier TL safes is cost and convenience. I'd do it again, but I really like the RSC or fire & burglary safes if I can afford to lose what's inside it. Cheers!

@@2is1gold is there a service where the installers wear blindfolds while lugging it in? Mostly kidding, but any worries about showing the installers your safe spot?

It’s be a lot easier if the price doesn’t shoot up anytime soon. It’s hard for poor people to stack gold and silver. Little by little we try but with prices going up, getting more people to be interested could go either way
