Monster Boxes: The Godzilla of Bullion

Godzilla, King Kong, the Kraken–these are a few of the world’s greatest monster legends. And apart from an insatiable desire to destroy anything (and everything) in their path, there is one thing monsters have in common: they are big.

Like level-a-city-block-with-a-swipe-of-the-tail-and-leap-from-one-skyscraper-to-the-next big.

In fact, the term “monster” is usually applied to objects that are larger than life. There are monster trucks, monster burgers, and in the world of precious metals investing, it doesn’t get much bigger than the Monster Box.

What is a Monster Box?

The Monster Box isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s for investors who are ready to get serious — and go big — when it comes to owning bullion.

A monster box is a protective case that houses precious metal coins for safekeeping. The standard box holds up to 500 ounces, and most come filled with .999 fine copper bullion or silver coins. They are made by various global mints — including the United States Mint, the Royal Canadian Mint, the Australian Mint, and the Provident Mint.

The coins sold with monster boxes are almost always uncirculated, so they are in perfect condition upon arrival. These bulk cases are also IRA approved, which is important for those looking to hang onto their assets, as most physical investors do.

Who Should Own Monster Boxes?

As previously mentioned, monster boxes are generally not intended for beginners who are looking to buy their first bit of silver. Even though you get a better rate by purchasing in bulk, the boxes come loaded with thousands of dollars worth of physical silver or copper, so they are sometimes out of price range for new collectors and investors.

Fortunately, if the bulk option is out of the question, you can order an empty monster box to stack and store the coins you already own — at a fraction of the cost.

Some of the other main reasons investors purchase monster boxes are for storage, organization and security. There are several commonly practiced techniques for securing your precious metal investments, from buying safes to burying them in the backyard.

Regardless of where you choose to hide your coins, a monster box is a great tool for organizing and storing them inside a secure case.
