Moving Bullion and Coin Collections
Metal is heavy, anonymous once it leaves your sight, and completely fungible. A bar has no serial number that means anything to a jury. That makes the record at collection the only thing standing between you and an unwinnable argument.
Tell us what, from where, and roughly when. No obligation, and no inventory list needed to start the conversation.

Why this is different
The problem worth solving
The genuine risk with metal is almost never a robbery in transit. It is the accumulation of small, boring failures: a count that was never made, a bar that was assumed to be one weight and was another, a bag that sat unattended for four minutes in a garage. Every one of those is fixed by procedure rather than by force, which is why we do not sell you force.
Procedure
How it is handled
- 01Weighed and counted at collection, against your list if you have one and against ours if you do not.
- 02Serial numbers recorded where bars carry them, and photographed where they do not.
- 03Sealed in your presence, seal number onto your copy of the inventory.
- 04Two attendants, and the load is never left unattended — including at fuel stops, which is why we do not make any.
- 05Straight to the vault. No consolidation with another client's load.
- 06Re-weighed on vault entry, in front of you if you have travelled with us.
What to expect on the day
Weight is the practical constraint people underestimate. A thousand ounces of silver is about seventy pounds and looks like nothing; a few hundred ounces of gold fits in a small case and is worth more than the vehicle. Tell us the approximate weight when you call, because it changes the vehicle and occasionally the number of people. It does not change the price as much as you would expect.
The limit
Where we stop
Above a certain value, and for any interstate movement, you want a licensed armored carrier with an armed detail — not us. We will say so plainly on the call rather than take the job. See what we will not move.
Common questions
- Do you have armed guards?
- No. We are not a licensed security agency and we do not pretend to be. For cargo that genuinely needs an armed escort we will tell you to hire an armored carrier.
- Will you buy the metal instead?
- That is a different business and a different conversation. We move and store it; we are not the buyer, which means we have no interest in what it is worth.
- How is it insured in transit?
- Coverage is arranged and confirmed in writing before the move, with the sum insured based on your declared value. We do not publish a blanket figure because it would be meaningless.
- Can I follow in my own car?
- Yes, and clients often do. You can watch it go into the vault.
Statewide
Routes we run
45–75 min
Brickell & Downtown Miami
High-rise collections, which means the loading dock and the service elevator decide the schedule rather than the traffic. Most Brickell towers require a certificate of insurance filed with building management days in advance and will only release the service lift in a booked window — we handle that paperwork, but it is why a Brickell collection is booked a week out and a house is not.

50–80 min
Coral Gables
Older single-family houses on narrow, banyan-shaded streets with strict tree and parking rules. A vehicle cannot always get close to the door, so a Gables collection is planned around where we can legally stand, and that is worth a phone call before the day rather than a surprise on it.

50–80 min
Coconut Grove
A mix of waterfront estates and 1920s houses, several of them with art collections that have never been condition-reported. The Grove sits low, and clients here move things out ahead of the season more often than anywhere else in Miami-Dade.

60–90 min
Key Biscayne
One causeway on and off the island, with a toll and a single point of failure. When a storm is forecast the Rickenbacker is exactly where everyone is at once, so Key Biscayne is the one market where we insist on booking well ahead of a cone rather than during it.

45–75 min
Miami Beach & Surfside
Causeway-dependent and, from Surfside north, largely mid-rise condominium. Since 2021 the building-access rules here have tightened considerably, and management offices are noticeably more careful about who is allowed a service lift — expect to be asked for documentation that a house never requires.

30–50 min
Aventura
Dense high-rise on the Dade line and the shortest big-building run we make. Loading docks here are generally well organised and bookable, which makes Aventura one of the few tower markets where a same-week collection is realistic.

What, from where, and roughly when. You do not need an inventory to start the conversation, and if the job belongs with an armored carrier we will say so on the call.
