You're turning into a magpie, gotta collect the shinies!
you've been bitten by the silver bug, i think everyone int metals loves those gems like that coin.
One thing: dont tell everyone in your rl that you are into silver for obvious reasons.
people get greedy, theres not a city in the world where there isnt someone who would literally kill for a krugerrand.

The ideal situation is a lightweight safe with 2,000 lbs of silver and gold ingots in them 
a cubic foot of gold is something like 1,000 lbs.

You can get a heavy weight fire safe from tractor supply for less than 3-400 bucks. Not so heavy you can't dolly it down stairs to your basement if you have to, I did it myself. By the time you fill that thing with ammo, which in the last ten years has appreciated percentage-wise more than silver or gold, then add all your gold and silver, bolt it to a concrete floor and ain't nobody getting that thing out of your house unless you talk too much and they have a multiple person team and some serious equipment and know when you're gonna be away for a while. Plus the security of fire protection is an extremely important added bonus.
Just an idea. They are really not prohibitively expensive.

I’ve bought and sold silver since I was fresh out of highschool. My wingnut of a grandfather always bought an ounce for my birthday and by the time I was 18 I had….18 ounces of bu silver. Silver prices back then were around $4 an ounce. Silver eagles were $21 and seemed to stay that way for a long time. In 1993, I bought my first bulk purchase of bu silver bars from silvertown. I think I bought 100 ounces. I had to sell some stuff to buy as much as I could. In 1998 silver prices went through the roof and I sold half within a year it was back down to normal and I spent my profit on more. The years go buy and I’m buying eagles for my boys birthdays and Xmas and whatnot and I’d buy some bullion if it came to me at the right price. I told myself I’d sell some if it got back up to 8. In 2003, i went through a divorce and had to sell some for to live. 2006 is recovered and started buying all I could afford by then it was waffling around 4-6. I think it was in 1998-99 whe. It shot up to almost ten and I sold a lot of it at $20. I think it went all the way to $22. There was a shop local that I bought eagles from and whatever bullion that would come through his shop, otherwise it was silvertowne, over an hour from where I live. About a year later the bottom dropped out and I bought all I could afford at 8-9. I got remarried, moved a couple times and didn’t really pay a lot of attention to the market for the next few years. In 2011, China was buying precious metal and silver went through the roof!!!! Sold all I could get anyone to buy, silvertown stopped buying APMEX wouldn’t buy it unless you had several hundred pounds of it. Eventually sold most of it at close to $40 and ounce. Started buying back when it got back down to $13 an ounce. Fast forward to these days. Covid hit and people were panicking and silver got down to 12-13. I called APMEX and was going to buy a bundle of it at those prices. That when I learned spot prices don’t mean shit. Back I. The day spot plus 10% to buy it and spot minus 10% to sell it. The price of doing business. They still wanted $30 for an ounce of bu silver. Eventually I found some to buy but not anything near spot prices. Then the prices went the other way, and then they wouldn’t buy it unless I took a 20% hit on it and sold them more than 500 ounces or something.
All of that to tell you that for the little guys dabbling, they’re going to make sure you don’t do really well. It was so frustrating trying to buy cheap silver or anything else right as the pandemic hit. So from that point in I buy eagles here and there. The crooks run the silver market just like everything else.

I buy my nieces at least one silver eagle for that year every year for their birthdays.
I can only hope one day they understand what and why they have their stashes.

Silver, and PMs in general are rather impervious to standard house fires are they not? Let’s say a safe sis not protect the metals from heat, they would still likely be temperatures well below melting points. Maybe some exterior oxidation to deal with?

Paper dollar, silver dollar, nickel dollar, loonie
All the coins for my project, now I just need picture frames and to steal a bit of a blurb to write about them, the Wikipedia article on theloonie has enough information to come up with a paragraph

I don't have the G's to load the video, but thanks.
My landlord told me a few days ago he lost $20k on silver in the 80s. I asked him, how'd you lose your whole investment with physical??? He said he only bought paper

So I'm half convinced the apes at wall street silver cause these increases on raid days, although this increase happened a day before the raid day, but it happened October 1st raid day too

It sounds like you've done really well yourself for a little guy in the market overall.
Since covid the market is completely unhinged but if you're holding on you're probably gonna get paid...
... the Eagles are not the buy right now imo.
I'll probably always be holding for a long time. I would rather not sell for another 20+ years. If it ever crashes down to lower prices I'm just gonna feel rich as he'll buying it all up and if it goes up to $50 and then falls back down I'm not gonna feel like I missed that big of an opportunity to sell unlessnI had a lot more than I currently do.
I don't have much but I've only been at it a year. Glad I found this enriching addiction though cause I can finally feel rich and I can finally feel safe saving money.
