1. Immediate Access

When it comes to gold and silver, many people think that if you can’t hold it in your hand, you don’t really own it. That’s why the immediate access of owning physical gold and silver is so appealing.

Being able to open your safe and put your hands on the physical gold and silver coins you own brings reassurance to many gold and silver owners. And that’s why so many people choose to buy physical gold and silver that they store at home.

2.  Control

Owning physical gold and silver that you take possession of can offer you even more control. You can stick it under your mattress, hide it in a wall, store it in a safe, bury it in your backyard or put it in a bank safe deposit box.

At the end of the day, you have  control over your gold and silver. And no one but you has to know where you keep it.

3. Easy Portability

That ability to choose where your physical gold and silver is stored also means that taking physical possession of your metals gives you maximum portability. If you think there’s ever a potential situation in which you may have to leave your house at short notice, having personal possession of your physical metals means that you can take it with you if you need to.

For some people, that ability to carry their physical assets with them gives them maximum peace of mind. And because gold and silver are so portable, you can carry over $100,000 in gold in a jacket or purse and no one will be the wiser.

4. Convenient Flexibility

Some people may choose to own gold and silver both with a gold IRA and by taking physical possession of the metals at home. Taking physical possession of gold and silver is just one more tool in the toolbox, one more way to diversify your investments. Sometimes that flexibility and diversity of investments can be an important factor.

5. No Pricey Fees

With ETFs and other forms of owning precious metals, you are forced to deal with fund managers, exchanges, custodial storage, and even sales of fund assets that can carry pesky fees that add up over time. When you buy physical gold and silver, you are personally responsible for it, meaning you will not pay additional fees related to storage or management.
