Gold IRA Custodian Experiences and Thoughts (especially for silver coins)

I've been kicking around the idea of diversifying my Gold IRA a bit more into silver coins, and it got me thinking about custodians. Currently, I've got most of my ~50k invested in gold through [Custodial Company Name - choose any real company] and they’ve been perfectly fine, nothing outstanding, nothing terrible. But I'm wondering if there are better options out there, especially for silver.
My concern is that some custodians might be a little more geared towards gold bars or bullion, and I want to make sure I’m getting good storage and fair pricing on silver coins specifically. I’m not talking about some obscure numismatics, just standard silver Eagles, circulated maples, that kind of thing. My current custodian's fees seem middle-of-the-road, but it’s hard to tell if I’m leaving money on the table without more comparison. We’re a smaller town here in Boise, Idaho, and I’m always trying to make sure I’m making the smartest financial moves for my family, especially seeing as I'm a mayor here. Every dollar counts, and I preach that to my constituents too!
Has anyone here had particularly good (or bad!) experiences with custodians when it comes to silver coins specifically? Are there any that stand out for their selection, fees, or even just ease of transactions for silver? I found a really helpful Gold IRA Quiz recently that helped me solidify why I want to invest in precious metals, but it didn't really dive into the nitty-gritty of custodian differences for specific metals. Any recommendations or warnings would be greatly appreciated!
