Most investors instinctively know that precious metals should be kept safe. Many end up hiding their precious metal at home or in a safe deposit box at the local bank. But these methods are not without risk. In fact, they involve more risk and more costs than many investors realize. The choices for storage boil down to three basic options: at home, at a couch, or Professional vault storage. 

Want to know more about storage options? You read it here in the starter guide.

Choose to store your precious metal yourself. We also have the following recommendations:

• Gold, platinum and palladium do not oxidize. For that reason, it does not matter how the precious metal is stored. In any case, keep it in a safe place.
• Silver: silver oxidizes. To preserve the appearance of silver as much as possible, we recommend that you do not touch the precious metal with your bare hands. Store in a dry, dark and safe place.
