What Precious Metals Are Permissible In A Gold IRA?
You have been following the markets over the past year, investing, thinking about retirement planning, and the best way to protect your future. Your thoughts led to some research, and you decided it is the right time to buy gold and conduct a 401k rollover into a precious metals self-directed IRA, also known as a gold IRA, Roth IRA, and gold 401k. Now you are wondering: Which precious metals coins and bars are permissible in a gold IRA?
Before 1997 when regulations and rules changed on self directed precious metals IRA’s, only American gold & silver Eagles were permissible in a gold IRA. Rules and regulations changed this with the 1997 Tax Relief Act, which expanded the list of precious metals that could be put into a gold IRA. The current regulations require that gold bullion coins and bars consist of a minimum .995 fineness, silver bullion coins and bars must consist of .999 fineness, and platinum & palladium coins and bars must consist of .9995 fineness.
One of the most popular choices amongst individuals investing in gold coins for their gold IRA is the American Eagle bullion coin. Introduced by the U.S. Mint in 1986, the American Eagle was the first recognized gold bullion coin by U.S. Congress, and originally produced to compete with the popular Canadian Maple Leaf gold bullion coin which is also permissible in a gold IRA.
Along with the American Eagle and Canadian Maple Leaf, are other gold bullion coins allowed in your gold IRA. These include the Australian Kangaroo, Austrian Philharmonic, and U.S. Buffalo gold bullion coins. Credit Suisse and Pamp Suisse gold bullion bars of .999 fineness are also allowed in a gold IRA.
When beginning the process to purchasing gold for your IRA, it is important to know that not all bullion coins are permissible, such as the Krugerrand and Mexican 50 Peso. Also not allowed in a gold IRA are rare and collectible coins such as the Indian Head, Liberty Head, Saint Gaudens, Swiss Francs, British Sovereigns and French Franc gold coins, to name just a few.
As the price of silver has soared this past year, silver bullion has become more and more popular to include in a gold IRA. Along with American Eagle silver bullion coins, Australian Kookaburra, Austrian Vienna Philharmonic, Canadian Maple Leaf, and Mexican Libertad silver bullion coins are permissible in gold IRA’s. All these silver bullion coins consist of .silver content of 999. Silver bars and rounds produced by manufactures accredited by Nymex/Comex & NYSE or a national mint consisting of .999 fineness are also permissible in a gold IRA.
Also allowed are certain platinum bullion coins and bars. Platinum American Eagle coins, Australian Koala, Canadian Maple Leaf, and Isle of Man Noble coins are permissible in a gold IRA.
Most recently, palladium coins and bars have become permissible in a gold IRA. These must consist of a .produced by a national mint and containing a .9995 fineness.
