Precious Metals IRA

HOW TO ADD GOLD OR SILVER TO YOUR IRA

Many United clients elect to include precious metals, such as gold and silver, as integral parts of their retirement planning. If you are looking to include gold within your Individual Retirement Account, or IRA, United Gold Group can assist you.

Once the decision to include precious metals in your IRA has been made, you will have the opportunity to choose an appropriate IRA custodian. United can also suggest a third-party custodian if you desire one. After the IRA custodian receives the paperwork and funds, you can choose which precious metals to include into your IRA account. United’s Senior Account Executives are available to help you throughout the process.

When you are ready to take distributions from your IRA, United can assist you in the process of converting your precious metals into cash, or arranging for the delivery of your coins.

COINS THAT CAN BE HELD IN AN IRA

Currently, the United States government allows specific bullion and proof coins, such as Gold and Silver American Eagles, to be held in an IRA account. Proof coins are collector versions of gold, silver, or platinum bullion coins that are produced on a large scale.

Gold proof coins are subject to a specialized minting process that uses specific dies. Lustrous coin blanks are fed, manually, into the presses where they are struck multiple times to produce softly frosted, detailed coin images that float above a mirror-like background. Qualified mint inspectors review each coin before it can be officially labeled a proof and then place it in a protective plastic case.

Proof American Eagles come in a velvet, satin-lined presentation case with the official United States Mint Certificate of Authenticity.

Proof coins typically have a limited mintage and their prices are based upon a variety of factors such as mintage, rarity, age, price of the metal, condition, and the demand for gold and other precious metals. The United States government issues a limited number of proof coins per year, and specific years are known to sell out quickly. Because of their numismatic value, proof coins typically carry a premium over their metal content, regardless of the metal type.

Bullion coins can be thought of as more common coins. Their values are dependent on, and so are very closely tied to, the spot price of their respective metal—be it gold, silver, or platinum.
