Sanctuary Metals Review
BBB-accredited boutique precious metals dealer with costs disclosed before you buy. Independent Sanctuary Metals review: 4.5/5 for gold ira.
By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief. Rates last checked September 7, 2026.
Our verdict
Sanctuary Metals says it explains setup, storage and metal costs before you invest, and IRA metals are held in IRS-approved depositories. The minimum depends on the account type and products you pick. It's a young company, about 2 years in business, with limited reviews, and that short record holds the grade back.
Skip it if you want a dealer with a long track record and plenty of reviews.
