Keeping Gold & Silver Bullion in a Safe Deposit Box
Bullion is dense, heavy, and completely untraceable once it leaves your hands. That combination makes it the single worst asset to keep at home, and one of the best reasons to hold a private vault box.

Why this matters
The risk you are actually carrying
A home safe rated for one hour at 350°F offers no meaningful resistance to a pry bar, and most consumer safes can be carried out of a house by two people. Homeowner policies also commonly cap precious metals coverage far below replacement value, at a sub-limit most owners have never read. Check your own policy.
Why clients store gold & silver bullion here
- A box in a 9R-rated vault behind two 14,000-pound doors, not a branch box on a bank schedule.
- Private viewing rooms let you audit and re-weigh holdings on site without moving them.
- Climate is held at 70°F and 50% relative humidity, which prevents silver from tarnishing and toning.
- Armored transport can collect from a dealer, your home, or an airport and deliver straight into the vault.
Coverage
How this is insured
Bullion is the easiest asset class to schedule and the easiest to lose to a coverage gap. Value is a function of weight and purity against spot, so an underwriter does not need an appraiser — they need a verified inventory. That is what most home holdings do not have. A homeowner's policy commonly caps precious metals at a sub-limit far below what is in the safe, regardless of the policy's overall limit, and the cap is not negotiable after a loss.
Succession
What happens to it in an estate
Metal is untitled and unregistered, which means it does not appear on any statement your personal representative can subpoena. If nobody wrote down that it exists, it is not part of the estate in any practical sense — it is simply gone, and the family never knows what to look for. A dated inventory held with the metal is worth more to an estate than any storage arrangement, because it converts an invisible asset into a listed one.
The honest answer
When the holding has outgrown a box
A box is the right answer while the metal still fits in one. Past that — palletised bars, monster boxes of silver, a position you want held allocated and segregated with serial numbers recorded to you rather than simply locked in a box we do not inventory — you want bulk storage, and that is a different product. Florida Intervault runs it from the same building under the name Intervault Bullion. We will tell you which one you need on the phone, and it is frequently the box.
Which box size fits
Bullion is heavy for its footprint. Most clients holding under 100 oz of gold fit comfortably in a 5×10×24. Silver, monster boxes, and multi-kilo positions usually need a 10×10×24 or larger.
Common questions
- Can I add to my holdings without renting a second box?
- Yes. Most clients start one size up from what they need today. Upgrading mid-term is prorated against your annual rate.
- Can I inspect my metal on site?
- Yes. Private viewing rooms are available by appointment, with a scale on request.
- Is bullion covered by insurance?
- Coverage for stored contents is available through the facility’s Lloyd’s of London program. Bring a schedule of what you are storing and we will quote it.
