How to choose gold and silver storage near you
You bought the metal. Now where do you keep it? The answer depends on three things: how much you hold, how often you want to touch it, and whether it sits in an IRA. A few coins can live in a home safe. A few hundred ounces of silver cannot, and IRA metal must never go home with you.
This guide walks through every option, what it costs and what to check before you sign. The ranking above uses the same checks, so you can compare facilities the way a careful buyer would.
Your five storage options
- Home safe. No storage fee and instant access. The risk is theft, fire and the fact that many homeowner policies cap coverage for bullion and cash at a low amount. Check your policy before you rely on it.
- Bank safe deposit box. Private and cheap, but the bank does not insure what is inside, and the FDIC does not cover box contents either. You can only reach the box during branch hours, and boxes have size and weight limits.
- Private safe deposit box company. The same idea as a bank box, run by an independent vault. Hours are often longer, some offer 24-hour access by appointment, and a few include insurance. Mountain Vault in Phoenix and Guardian Vault in Redmond work this way.
- Private depository. A vault built for precious metals. You ship or deliver your metal, the depository stores it, insures it, audits it and ships it back or to a dealer when you ask. Delaware Depository, IDS of Texas and the Texas Bullion Depository are examples.
- Dealer storage program. A dealer stores the metal you buy from them at a partner vault. It is convenient when you buy and sell often, but read who actually holds the metal and whether it is in your name.
Segregated, allocated or commingled: what is the difference?
This is the question that matters most once you choose a depository.
- Segregated storage: your bars and coins sit in their own box or shelf space. You get back the exact pieces you deposited, serial numbers included.
- Allocated storage: specific items are assigned to you on the depository's records. Some providers use "allocated" for segregated storage, others for pooled storage with your share recorded, so ask which one they mean.
- Non-segregated (commingled) storage: your metal is pooled with identical products owned by other customers. You get back the same product and weight, not the same pieces. It is usually the cheapest option.
Do you plan to sell specific coins with collector value? Then pay for segregated storage. Holding standard bullion bars and coins for the long term? Commingled storage is often enough.
What does gold storage cost?
Depositories usually charge a yearly percentage of the value you store, often with a minimum fee. Safe deposit boxes charge a flat yearly rent by box size. Two published examples from facilities in our directory:
- The Texas Bullion Depository charges 0.49% a year on segregated holdings up to $499,999.99, falling to 0.34% for larger accounts, with a $25 quarterly minimum (fee schedule effective April 1, 2026).
- Colorado Vault & Safe Deposit Box Co. rents boxes from $150 to $1,500 a year depending on size.
Watch for costs outside the storage fee: deposit and withdrawal charges, shipping and insurance in transit, and IRA custodian fees. A low storage rate with a high withdrawal fee can cost more over time.
Is my metal insured?
Ask three questions, and get the answers in writing:
- Who is the insurer, and what is the total policy limit?
- Is my metal covered at full replacement value, or only up to a cap per client?
- Does the policy cover metal in transit to and from the vault?
Several depositories in the directory name their cover. Delaware Depository reports $1 billion in all-risk insurance with London underwriters. Idaho Armored Vaults reports a $1.5 billion all-risk policy through Lloyd's of London. A facility that says only "fully insured" without naming the insurer or the limit scores lower in our ranking.
Audits and proof that your metal is there
A depository should count its inventory regularly and let outside auditors check it. Look for third-party audits (for example SOC 1 reports), regular account statements that list your items, and the right to inspect or withdraw your metal on request. The Texas Bullion Depository, for instance, is audited by a Texas accounting firm that reports to the state Comptroller.
Storing gold in an IRA
Can you keep IRA gold at home? No. Precious metals held in a self-directed IRA must be in the custody of an IRS-approved trustee or depository. Your IRA custodian opens the account and arranges shipping to an approved depository. Facilities in our directory that accept IRA metals include Delaware Depository, IDS of Texas, Idaho Armored Vaults, Brink's and the Texas Bullion Depository.
A checklist before you choose
- Storage type: segregated or commingled, and which one the price includes.
- Insurance: named insurer, policy limit, transit cover.
- Audits: who audits, how often, and whether you get a statement listing your items.
- Fees: storage rate, minimum fee, deposit, withdrawal and shipping costs.
- Access: can you visit, or is it shipping only? How fast is a withdrawal?
- Ownership: is the metal held in your name, outside the company's balance sheet?
- Location: closer is easier for in-person visits; for shipping-only storage the state matters less.
How we built this directory
Every facility listed here was checked against its own website in October 2026. In that check we removed 17 earlier listings: some were in the wrong city, some were coin shops without storage, one had closed and one was a duplicate. If you spot an error, tell us through the contact page and we will fix it.
Gold and silver storage FAQ
Where can I store gold and silver bullion?
The main options are a home safe, a bank safe deposit box, a private depository and a dealer storage program. A private depository offers insured storage with regular audits and can ship or release your metal on request. A safe deposit box gives private access, but the bank does not insure its contents.
Is it illegal to keep gold in a safe deposit box?
No. Keeping gold or silver in a safe deposit box is legal in the United States. Keep in mind that the contents of a safe deposit box are not covered by FDIC insurance, so check your homeowner's policy or buy separate coverage.
What is the difference between segregated and non-segregated storage?
With segregated storage your bars and coins are kept apart from other customers' metal, and you get back the exact items you deposited. With non-segregated (commingled) storage your metal is pooled with the same products owned by others, and you get back items of the same type and weight. Segregated storage usually costs more.
Where should I store a large amount of silver?
Silver takes up a lot of space: 1,000 troy ounces weigh about 68.6 pounds. For large amounts a private depository is often more practical than a safe deposit box, because boxes have size and weight limits. Compare fees per value and minimum charges before you choose.
Can I keep IRA gold at home?
No. Precious metals in an IRA must be held by an IRS-approved trustee or depository. Taking IRA metals home can be treated as a taxable distribution, as the US Tax Court ruled in McNulty v. Commissioner (2021).
How much does it cost to store gold?
Depositories usually charge a yearly percentage of the value stored, often with a minimum fee. The Texas Bullion Depository, for example, publishes 0.49% a year on segregated holdings up to $499,999.99 with a $25 quarterly minimum. Safe deposit boxes charge flat yearly rent by size, for example $150 to $1,500 a year at Colorado Vault & Safe Deposit Box Co. Also check deposit, withdrawal and shipping fees.
Is gold stored in a depository insured?
Most private depositories insure stored metal, but the cover differs. Ask for the insurer's name, the total policy limit, whether your metal is covered at full value and whether transit is covered. Delaware Depository reports $1 billion in all-risk cover with London underwriters; Idaho Armored Vaults reports a $1.5 billion policy through Lloyd's of London.
How do I choose a gold storage facility near me?
Check the storage type (segregated or commingled), who insures the metal and for how much, how often the vault is audited, the fee and any minimum charge, and how you can access or withdraw your metal. Use the state pages in this directory to see which facilities operate near you.
Buying metal for an IRA? See which coins and bars meet the IRS rules: IRA eligible gold and silver.
Opening a gold IRA? Compare setup, custodian and storage fees: gold IRA companies compared by fees.
Do you run a vault or depository?
Investors use this directory to choose where to store gold and silver. Two options, and neither changes the ranking: scores come only from published facts.
