Frequently Asked Questions

What makes gold or silver bullion eligible for a self-directed IRA?

Under Internal Revenue Code Section 408(m)(3), bullion must meet statutory minimum fineness (.995 gold, .999 silver, .9995 platinum/palladium) and be produced by a national government mint or NYMEX/COMEX/LBMA-accredited refiner. American Gold Eagles (.9167 fine) are specifically exempted by statute and are 100% IRA-eligible.
