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.

Silver follows the same IRA rules as gold, with one difference that matters: the IRS sets a higher purity bar, requiring at least .999 fineness. Every coin below clears it, and each is struck by a government mint that guarantees its weight and content.
Silver trades at a fraction of the price of gold per ounce, which makes it a common starting point for a first position, and a way to add to an existing one in smaller increments.

Gold & silver coins, answered
Which gold coins are IRA-approved?
+ −
Bullion coins that meet IRS purity standards, including the American Gold Eagle, American Gold Buffalo, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, and Austrian Gold Philharmonic. The American Gold Eagle qualifies by name in the tax code even though its gold is alloyed to 22 karat for durability.
What is the difference between the American Gold Eagle and the American Buffalo?
+ −
Both are one-ounce U.S. Mint gold coins backed by the U.S. government. The Gold Eagle is 22 karat, alloyed with silver and copper to resist scratches, and is the most widely traded gold coin in the country. The Buffalo is 24 karat, .9999 pure gold. Both contain a full troy ounce of gold.
Should I buy gold or silver?
+ −
Gold packs much more value into a small space and tends to move less sharply. Silver costs far less per ounce, which makes it an accessible starting point and easy to buy in small amounts, but it is bulkier to store and its price swings more because so much is used in industry. Many buyers hold some of each.
What is the spot price of gold?
+ −
The spot price is the current market price for one troy ounce of raw gold for immediate delivery. Physical coins and bars sell at a premium above spot to cover minting, distribution, and dealer costs. Our prices are quoted against live spot.
What is the difference between bullion and proof coins?
+ −
Bullion coins are struck for investors and priced close to the value of their metal. Proof coins are struck multiple times on specially prepared blanks for a mirror finish and sold at a higher premium for that craftsmanship. Both contain the same metal; proof coins cost more per ounce.
Why buy government-minted coins?
+ −
A national mint such as the U.S. Mint or Royal Canadian Mint guarantees the weight, purity, and face value of its coins. That guarantee makes them instantly recognizable to dealers anywhere, which is what keeps them easy to sell later.
