IRS-Approved Precious Metals

At American Standard Gold , we’ve got more than just gold for your IRA. Think of it as a treasure chest of options for your self-directed or Gold IRA.

We offer a variety of precious metals, each picked for its potential to enhance your retirement portfolio.

Each product is selected for its compliance with IRA regulations, ensuring a seamless addition to your diversified investment portfolio.

Conventional individual retirement accounts (IRAs) offer a variety of asset options for investors, including:

• Stocks
• Bonds
• Mutual funds
• Annuities
• Money market accounts
• Real estate

But for those looking to expand beyond these choices, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 revolutionized IRA investments. This act enabled investors to include precious metals in self-directed IRAs, known as Gold IRAs or precious metal IRAs. These allow for a diversified retirement portfolio, embracing:

• Gold
• Silver
• Platinum
• Palladium

These metals must meet IRS standards for fineness and be in the form of coins, bars, and rounds. This presents a valuable opportunity for investors to enhance their IRA with the stability and potential of precious metals.

IRA Precious Metal Requirements

IRA-eligible gold and other precious metals must adhere to specific purity standards set by the IRS. While collectibles, including some precious metals, are generally not allowed in IRAs, these metals are eligible under certain conditions.

Purity:

• Gold: Must be 99.5% pure, except for the American Gold Eagle Coin.
• Silver: Requires a purity of 99.9%.
• Platinum and Palladium: Both must be 99.95% pure.
• IRA Precious Metal Requirements:

Bars and Rounds:

• Must be produced by an approved mint.
• Small bars should align with exact weight specifications.

Coins:

• Should remain in mint condition and in original packaging.
• Require certificates of authenticity.
• Non-proof (bullion) coins must be undamaged and in uncirculated condition.

These requirements ensure that your IRA investment in precious metals is secure, compliant, and of the highest standard, offering a valuable addition to your retirement portfolio.

Investing in IRS-approved precious metals can significantly enhance your retirement portfolio. However, it’s important to understand the rules. When you invest in these metals within an IRA, physical possession by the investor is not permitted. Instead, they must be held by an IRS-approved custodian or trustee.

Like traditional IRAs, any distributions from a gold IRA follow the same regulations. You have the option to liquidate these metals for cash or opt for physical possession, but be aware that either action constitutes a distribution from your IRA. This means you’ll be subject to the applicable taxes and fees on these distributions. This structure is designed to provide a secure and compliant way to diversify your retirement investments with precious metals.
