Gold IRA-Eligible Coins

As inflation continues to erode the value of the dollar, and with the Social Security Administration facing significant financial challenges, it is essential that you start taking control of your financial future. Opening a Precious Metals IRA and diversifying with Gold IRA-eligible coins can help you protect your wealth for your future retirement.

Owning a Precious Metals IRA gives you the chance to safeguard your hard-earned savings. As the demand for gold continues to rise, and with the limited supply in circulation likely to diminish overtime, gold prices are expected to continue increasing. Don’t miss your chance to own one of the few things people trust during harsh economic times.

A vast selection of our gold bullion and proof coins, as well as most of our gold bars – are eligible for inclusion in your Precious Metals IRA. Take a look at the most popular Gold IRA-approved coins below.

Gold IRA-Eligible Coins FAQs

What kinds of gold can be owned in a Precious Metals IRA?

IRA-eligible gold must be at least 99.5% pure (except for American Eagle gold coins) and be produced by a sovereign mint or accredited refiner. Birch Gold Group offers various Gold IRA-eligible coins and gold bars for your choosing. Your trusted Precious Metals Specialist can help you ensure your selected precious metal products are IRA-compliant.

How can I add physical gold to my IRA?

To invest in physical gold for retirement, you must open a Precious Metals IRA. The process requires selecting an IRA custodian and funding your account. You can then use your funds to acquire any of our gold IRA-eligible products. These precious metals are then stored in an approved depository.

What's the best IRA-eligible gold coin to buy?

You may consider adding Britannia Gold Coins into your self-directed retirement account. These physical coins have proven their value to investors again and again. Their design incorporates a striking maritime-inspired image of Britannia protecting the shores of Britain. The American Gold Buffalo coin, the first 24-karat coin minted by the U.S., is also an attractive choice. Or round out your selection with the Liberty and Britannia coin, which pays homage to the special ties between the U.S. and U.K.

Gold IRA-eligible coins offer unique benefits and can be a magnificent addition to truly diversified retirement savings. They can be placed in a self-directed retirement account that is insured, can hold real physical gold and silver, and can be easily converted into cash.

What are the rules for Precious Metals IRAs?

Like other types of IRA accounts, if you own a Precious Metal IRA, you’ll need to adhere to yearly contribution limits ($7,000 a year for those under 50 and $8,000 a year for those over 50). You may also be subject to financial penalties for withdrawing any or all of your funds before the age of 59 and a half. A self-directed precious metal retirement account may be opened as a Traditional IRA or a Roth IRA.

Can I convert my existing retirement account into a Precious Metal IRA?

Your traditional IRA, Roth IRA, 401(k), 403(b), TSP, SEP or annuity account may be converted into a Gold IRA. One of our Precious Metals Specialists can inform you whether your current retirement account meets the requirements for conversion. They will also work with you to ensure you avoid unnecessary tax penalties or fees.

You are never alone. A Precious Metals Specialist is ready to work one-on-one with you to get you started with setting up a Precious Metal IRA and walk you through the process of purchasing Gold IRA-eligible coins for inclusion in your self-directed retirement account. Call our team at (800) 355-2116 or request our free Birch Gold Info Kit.

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.
