Storage & Delivery
The destination depends on how the metal is owned.
Direct purchases may be delivered to an authorized address or private-storage provider. IRA purchases must follow the custodian and approved-depository process.

Insured Delivery

Personal Custody
Access and responsibility move together.
Holding metal personally may provide immediate access. It also places responsibility for physical security, insurance coverage, confidentiality, records, and estate planning on the owner.
A bank safe-deposit box, home safe, and private vault have different insurance and access characteristics. Those terms should be confirmed directly with the provider.
Private Depository
Professional storage outside an IRA.
A private depository may offer controlled access, insurance, inventory records, and independent custody. Clients should compare allocated or segregated arrangements, fee schedules, audit practices, withdrawal procedures, and jurisdiction.
Liberty can coordinate delivery to an accepted destination but does not operate the depository.
IRA Depository
Custody is governed by the retirement account.
Precious metals held inside an IRA must be delivered through the custodian-directed process to an approved depository. The account owner generally may not take personal possession while maintaining the IRA treatment.
The custodian and depository establish account, storage, insurance, distribution, and withdrawal procedures.
