About IRA-Approved Precious Metals
IRA approved precious metals, also known as IRA eligible metals, refer to certain types of precious metals that are allowed to be held within an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) for investment purposes. These metals are considered eligible by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for inclusion in self-directed IRAs, which offer individuals greater control over their retirement investments.The IRS has established specific criteria for IRA approved precious metals, which include the following metals in certain forms:
- Gold: Gold bullion coins with a purity of 99.5% or greater, such as American Gold Eagle coins and Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins, are approved for IRAs. Additionally, gold bars or rounds that meet the same purity requirements are also eligible.
- Silver: Silver bullion coins with a purity of 99.9% or greater, such as American Silver Eagle coins and Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins, are approved for IRAs. Silver bars or rounds meeting the same purity requirements are also eligible.
- Platinum: Platinum bullion coins with a purity of 99.95% or greater, including American Platinum Eagle coins, are eligible for IRAs. Platinum bars or rounds meeting the same purity requirements are also allowed.
- Palladium: Palladium bullion coins with a purity of 99.95% or greater, such as the Canadian Palladium Maple Leaf coin, are approved for IRAs. Palladium bars or rounds meeting the same purity requirements are also eligible.
It's important to note that not all forms of precious metals are accepted for IRAs. For example, collectible coins or numismatic coins, which carry a higher premium due to their rarity or historical value, are generally not eligible for inclusion in an IRA.
When investing in precious metals for an IRA, it's advisable to work with a custodian or trustee who specializes in self-directed IRAs and is knowledgeable about the rules and regulations surrounding IRA approved precious metals. The custodian will help facilitate the purchase, storage, and reporting requirements associated with holding precious metals in an IRA.
Investing in IRA approved precious metals can provide diversification within a retirement portfolio and act as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainties. However, it's important to carefully consider the risks and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
