About Noble Gold Investments

Storage First: Noble Gold and the Texas Depository Option
The detail that sets Noble Gold apart in our data is storage. Our home page says Noble uses International Depository Services in Texas as an alternative to the Northeast, and some investors prefer that for geographic diversification. Whether it matters to you depends on how you weigh location, cost and convenience.
Ask whether the Texas option is segregated or commingled storage. Segregated storage keeps your specific bars and coins separate, identified by serial number, and typically costs $25-$50 more per year than commingled storage. Noble lists $150 per year for storage, the highest storage figure on this site (Goldco's range tops out at the same $150), so find out which type that price covers.
Royal Survival Packs: Ask What Is IRA-Eligible
Noble's Royal Survival Packs are described on this page as including IRS-eligible silver bullion. A bundle is not automatically IRA-eligible in full. Silver held in an IRA must be .999 fine and come from an approved mint or refiner, and anything bought outside the IRA is not part of the account. Ask for an itemized list showing which items go into the IRA, which do not, and the price of each.
What the Fee Schedule Shows
Noble lists an $80 setup fee, a $150 annual fee, $150 per year for storage and a $30 wire fee. That is $380 in year one and $300 afterward. The setup fee is the highest of the five on this site, and the pros list mentions a no-fee IRA for qualifying accounts. The page does not say what qualifies, so ask:
- Which accounts qualify for the no-fee IRA, and which fees does it waive?
- Is the waiver permanent or limited to the first year?
- Does the $150 storage fee apply to the Texas depository too?
Who Noble Gold Fits
Noble's $20,000 minimum falls between Birch Gold Group and American Hartford Gold ($10,000) and Goldco ($25,000). It suits an investor who wants a Texas storage location and educational material, and who accepts a higher setup and storage cost. The cons list notes it is a smaller company than competitors and has limited international options. Investors who rank the lowest cost first should compare Birch ($250 per year) and the others.
