Gold IRA approved coins

The IRS has jurisdiction over what can and cannot be placed within an IRA account. Fortunately for investors, the tax authority allows a wide variety of gold coins to be bought and stored within an IRA. Eligible gold coins must be at least .995 pure gold and must also be legal tender.

The importance of gold coins being manufactured and guaranteed by a government cannot be overstated. Governments such as the U.S. or Canadian Government guarantee the quantity, quality, and face value of these coins — some of the best available. Explore popular options for IRA inclusion below.
