Segregated Storage
Your specific coins and bars are stored separately and labeled as yours. When you request delivery, you receive the exact items you deposited.
**Advantages:**
**Considerations:**
- You receive your exact metals back
- Complete peace of mind about ownership
- Ideal for numismatic coins with individual characteristics
- Slightly higher storage fees
- Requires more vault space
Commingled (Allocated) Storage
Your metals are stored alongside identical products from other clients. You own a specific quantity of a specific product, but not specific serial-numbered items.
**Advantages:**
**Considerations:**
- Lower storage costs
- Fine for fungible bullion (one American Eagle is identical to another)
- You may not receive the exact items you deposited
- Less suitable for numismatic or serialized items
Our Recommendation
For bullion coins and bars, either method provides complete ownership security. For numismatic coins, rare items, or client preference, segregated storage is recommended.
