IRA Eligible Gold & Silver Coins
IRA accounts traditionally play a large role in helping us to accumulate savings and a nest egg for retirement. Most individual retirement accounts contain stocks, bonds, and mutual funds and are subject to market fluctuations. Many of us have watched helplessly as our IRA statements have risen and fallen dramatically over the past few years. Since financial experts recommend a diversified investment approach to our "golden years" doesn't it make sense to diversify our IRA holdings as well?
Acceptable coins for IRA investment have traditionally been the American Gold Eagle and the Silver Eagle, but The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 expanded the range of IRA Eligible Coins. Acceptable gold coins for IRA investment must be at least .995 (99.5%) pure and be legal tender coins while silver coins must be at least .999 fine.
Lear Capital offers an array of IRA Eligible coins to help you diversify your financial holdings. Precious metals provide an excellent hedge against both economic downturns and stock market volatility. Adding physical gold and silver to an IRA account is a great way to protect your hard-earned savings and provide enduring value and security to your financial portfolio.
