Need-To-Know Tips For Safeguarding Your Precious Metals

Gold and silver investors have strong opinions about third-party storage of metals.
Privacy, the lack of counterparty risk and precious metals’ role as “crisis money” are among the most attractive features of physical bullion. So it is no surprise that many investors are totally committed to storing metals at home or someplace else that is both private and accessible 24/7.

A monster box of 500 silver American Eagles weighs roughly 40 pounds. That is more weight than some customers want to handle. Some simply can’t.

Silver can also be space intensive. 500-ounce silver boxes are roughly the size of a larger shoe box. The more of them an investor accumulates, the greater the chance the holding will outgrow the space available in their safe. And getting a larger safe isn’t always an option.
