Yes, an individual is allowed to have more than one IRA account. However, your total yearly contribution will remain at the same maximum no matter how many IRAs you have.

You can liquidate or take possession of your metals at any time. However this is considered a distribution and there may be tax implications involved. We recommend speaking with a tax professional before making this decision.

No. As part of the IRS’ rules regarding precious metals IRAs, we, as the dealer, MUST ship the products to an approved IRA depository, who then holds the metal until the time you are ready to liquidate the position.

Yes, you may be subject to IRA contribution limits depending on your type of IRA and income levels. Please consult with your IRA custodian to learn of any contribution limits you may be subject to.

Most depositories provide full accounting and reporting services to ensure your metals are safe and accounted for. Some have a client portal you can access anytime, and some provide quarterly statements of Account Holders metals.

We do not provide investment advice, but many of our clients prefer self-directed precious metals IRAs because they are backed by real, physical, segregated metal, vs. an ETF like GLD which is only backed by a pool of gold holdings and positions.

To qualify as an IRA-approved product, precious metals must meet minimum fineness levels. The American Gold Eagle is the only exception to the following numbers. Minimum gold fineness: .995. Minimum silver fineness: .999. Minimum platinum fineness: .9995. Minimum palladium fineness: .9995. Any products falling outside of these ranges, excluding American Gold Eagles, are not approved for IRA contributions. Examples of non-approved precious metals products include pre-1933 gold, gold Krugerrands, and 90% US silver coins.

Types of retirement accounts eligible for rollover or transfer into a Precious Metals IRA include 401(k) 403(b), Pensions and Thrift Savings Plan accounts. You can even roll over funds from a Roth retirement account into a Roth Precious Metals IRA, or perform a Roth conversion when rolling over from a 401(k) or similar account into a Roth Precious Metals IRA

No, when performed correctly, a rollover or transfer of assets into a Precious Metals IRA takes place with no taxes or penalties.

This will vary based on which custodian you choose. It can take 2-4 business days to open your account once they receive your application. After your account is set up you will then have to fund it.

In the case of a 401(k) rollover, your funds are generally paid directly to you. Once you have the funds in your possession you have 60 days to transfer them into your new self-directed IRA account. If you do not do so within this 60-day period, you may be required to pay taxes. In order to fully understand these rules, we recommend talking to a tax advisor before transferring any IRA funds.

With the mounting global economic crisis and our domestic debt and deficit issues, many savvy investors are converting 401(k) monies into precious metals, especially gold. In order to do so, you must first you must check the terms and conditions of your existing accounts. If they do not allow for gold and other precious metals investments it may necessitate rolling your funds into a self-directed IRA. Keep in mind that some plans have roll-over penalties and others do not allow accrued dollars to be moved at all unless an exemption is cited like leaving employment or financial hardship. The key is to get the funds released and set up an IRA with the option to purchase precious metals. Smart investors are placing both physical gold and silver in their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). Gold and silver have become important options for hedging against increasingly likely global economic collapse.
