Note: The terms “IRA-approved” and “IRS-approved” are commonly used by the public and others in the industry to describe precious metals that may be held in a self-directed IRA, but the IRS does not formally approve specific coins, bars, or rounds for IRA ownership. References to “IRA-approved” on this page should therefore be understood to mean precious metals that meet the applicable requirements specified in the Internal Revenue Code.
