    FAQ

    What is physical gold?
    Physical gold is usually in the form of coins or bars. For self-directed IRAs, these products must be of a very high purity (typically 99.5% or higher). IRA physical gold products are valued primarily for their precious metal content rather than as currency or collectible items. The term encompasses both gold bars and coins produced by government mints and private refineries worldwide.
    How is physical gold priced?
    Physical gold pricing is determined primarily by the market value of gold per troy ounce, also known as the spot price. This base price fluctuates through trading hours as markets respond to economic data, geopolitical events, currency movements, and supply/demand. Beyond the spot price, you'll pay an amount over the melt value that covers production costs, distribution expenses, dealer markups, and market conditions. This amount over melt value varies between products, with government-minted coins typically commanding higher prices than bars due to their legal tender status, recognizability, and appeal. Larger purchases often qualify for volume discounts, reducing the per-ounce price.
    What kinds of gold products are IRA-eligible?
    Gold must meet strict IRS requirements to qualify for inclusion in a self-directed IRA. The gold must be at least 99.5% pure and produced by a national government mint or an accredited/certified refiner, assayer, or manufacturer. Eligible products include specific government-minted coins including American Gold Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, and Australian Kangaroos, as well as gold bars and rounds from approved refiners that meet purity standards. Collectible coins, rare coins, or numismatic items are expressly prohibited in gold IRAs, as are products that don't meet minimum purity requirements. The IRS requires that qualified gold be held by a custodian in an IRA-approved depository.
    Should I buy gold bars or gold coins?
    Gold coins, while typically carrying higher prices than bars, offer advantages in divisibility, liquidity, and recognition. Government-minted coins are legal tender, widely recognized worldwide, and easier to sell in smaller quantities when needed. Coins also often feature appealing intricate designs and may have value beyond their metal content. Gold bars sometimes offer better value per ounce than coins due to lower manufacturing costs, which results in lower prices— and that can make them more cost-effective for some investors. Gold bars are used for long-term wealth preservation and larger investments, but they can be more difficult to sell and divide than coins.
    Can I store my physical gold at home?
    No, storing gold at home is not recommended. Home storage comes with significant security risks because gold is a prime target for theft, and most homeowner's insurance policies provide limited or no coverage for precious metals. For IRA-held gold, IRS regulations specifically require that qualified gold must be stored with an approved custodian in an IRA-approved depository. Home storage would violate these requirements and potentially trigger taxes and penalties. Professional storage facilities offer specialized security, full insurance coverage, and proper documentation that most home environments cannot match.
