Storing bullion — bank?

Home safe all the way for me. Bank boxes have too many restrictions - what if there's a bank holiday or emergency and you need access? I've got a decent fire safe bolted down in the basement. Keep some constitutional silver in there too since it's easier to trade in small amounts. For 10oz gold I'd probably do a mix though - maybe half at home, half in a private vault facility if you have one nearby. They're usually cheaper than bank boxes anyway.

I keep mine split between a small safe at home and a safety deposit box at the bank. The stuff I might need to access quickly (mostly silver) stays in the home safe, and my gold goes to the bank box. 10oz gold is serious money though - I'd definitely want that in a bank vault personally.

Man I barely have enough to worry about storage lol. Got maybe 3oz silver sitting in a drawer somewhere. But my dad keeps his stuff in one of those private vault places - says it's better than banks because they don't report to the feds like banks do.

Split storage is smart but I avoid banks completely. Too much government oversight and they can freeze access whenever they want. I use a combination of a good home safe (liberty presidential series) and a private depository about 45 minutes away. The private vault costs me $180/year for a decent sized box and I can access it 6 days a week. With 10oz gold you're looking at $20k+ so definitely worth paying for proper storage. I sleep better knowing it's not in some government-monitored bank box.

This is the content I come here for. Thanks OP.

Great info here. Bookmarking this thread for later.

I had the opposite experience honestly. But everyone's different I guess.

Gonna have to respectfully disagree here. I've seen too many people have issues with that.
