Family Offices - Purchase Options

Ultimately, the decision on how you purchase and store your precious metals is up to you and needs to comply with your own investment objectives and needs. We always recommend have some of your physical metal in your possession where you have easy access but the bulk of it in a professional vaulting service.

Purchasing metal when you are taking possession and storing it yourself is a relatively straight-forward process.

When you are taking possession (the stuff you keep in your personal vault):

We recommend the most common, well recognized brands and bars. Questions that you should ask yourself in the decision process of what sizes of individual coins or bars to buy:

  1. How and where will you likely sell the metal.
  2. Are you likely to need to move the metal. If so, both distance and country barriers are a consideration.
  3. Where will you store the metal. How much space will be required.
  4. Security systems in the location you store your metal.

When you plan on owning physical metal but will store it with a professional vaulting service

Storing in a professional vaulting service provides a lot more flexibility in obtaining lower premiums, tighter spreads, convenience of ownership without the challenges of security and self-storage.

  • Kilo, 100oz, or 400oz bars provide the lowest premium. Premiums on kilo bars are higher than 100oz and 100oz are higher than 400oz. The difference in premiums is not material. Spreads are about 1-1.5% depending upon the market conditions at the time of sale.
  • Metal is allocated in your family office name.
  • You can select any vaulting service that is on our list of partner vaults. This currently includes Brinks, DDSC, TDS International, and MTB. Storage costs range from 25 bps to 75 bps, depending upon the vault, location, metal, and total value in storage.
  • Storage can be managed by ABC Bullion & Coin and you can buy or sell metal right from your account and select which vaults will hold your metal. Alternatively, you can purchase the metals through ABC Bullion & Coin and inform us of any existing vaulting service you are using. We will ship or transfer your metal to that vault and you will then manage it yourself.
  • Taking delivery of your metal is possible. Delivery costs range from 1-5%. Metals can be swapped out for different sizes and type if needed
