Gold Coins for Sale

To keep your gold coins safe when stored within your home, you will need to get creative and think of hiding places that no one else would think of.  You don’t want to hide your treasures in any of the locations that have been shown on your favorite television series episodes.  Places you do NOT want to hide your valuables: 1) cookie jars; 2) jewelry boxes; 3) under mattresses; 4) in the freezer; or 5) in a false brick in a fireplace.  It’s just “been done” too many times.

You need to come up with unusual and imaginative storage locations.  Some can even be right out in the open as many people will overlook the obvious in their attempts to discover what would seem to them to be a likely hiding spot.

It’s not so unusual because companies manufacturer them, but it’s not “run of the mill” either, to store valuable treasure in a “false” book or “false” soda pop can.  These were invented for exactly this purpose – to hide and disguise valuable objects.  A false book located on a shelf with a hundred other books should not stand out as obvious to a would-be thief.  As well, a phony soda pop that is empty inside for storage, located on a back row of more soda pop cans, should not stand out as being anything different than what it looks to be.

If you have exercise equipment, such as a treadmill or a stationary bicycle, that has arms or handles that can be opened, the inside area can offer great storage space.  Plus, this ploy will keep a metal detector from finding your precious metal assets if the machine’s parts are made of metal as well.

Often, real live plants can offer a storage space for your gold coins as dirt and water will not affect them.  You can encase the round bullion bits in a plastic covering to ensure protection if the plant and pot are large enough to accommodate your assets without affecting the growth of the plant.  If your plant is in a metal flower pot, so much the better because it should assist in throwing a metal detector off its trail.

Much plumbing is made of metal or copper pipes.  This is another good venue to hide and store your precious metal treasures out of sight and next to a metal source that a burglar should cast aside as soon as they discover it’s probably the metal plumbing that is setting off the metal detector.

If you have renovation or restoration work to perform on your home, look for a good hiding spot within the building materials and reconstruction efforts that would provide a safe hiding place for your valuables.  You can also bury them underground in your yard, as long as they are deeper than four feet so that a metal detector will not find them.

Finding safe hiding spots for your gold coins can be challenging, but it can also be an adventure.  Put on your thinking cap and plot a strategy of the best places in your home where your bullion will be the safest.
