Hypothetically, all of your precious metals except silver could go in the same storage safe. Gold, lead, brass, etc. All in the gun safe.

Silver needs to be kept elsewhere. Silver + sulfur = tarnish and corrosion damage.

Not saying that I would actually own any silver, gold, lead, brass or guns.

Of course not, me neither. We are a gun free zone and our dogs are all pussy cats. snort*

I’d keep the ammo outside the safe. And frankly, bullion silver (or coins) isn’t the same alloy as sterling, which is hard and durable, but tarnishes at a harsh word. Not that tarnish really affects the value of your silver coins or bullion.

You can also remove the tarnish in an instant (without removing any silver atoms) by dipping the silver in a pot of hot water with a sheet of aluminum foil on the bottom, and salt and baking soda dissolved (you’ll smell the sulfur steaming away).

You know, instead of stockpiling gold as a hedge against inflation, stockpiling quality guns and rifles might be an even better idea. They hold their value and protect themselves at the same time. Plus, they are readily marketable. Sure, guns and rifles take up more space than gold coins but at least they can be used to get food.
