<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 690828, member: 19423&quot;]Lots of good info here, but you&#039;re allowed to invest in American Gold Eagles (which are not more than 99.5% pure) as well as other coins that are at least 99.5% pure.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Can also invest in other precious metals including silver, platinum and palladium, but the fineness requirements are different for each.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Personally, I would never go for one of these precious metals IRA accounts since you can&#039;t take physical possession of the metals until you start taking your required distributions.&nbsp; And even then, the fees associated with these IRAs and the delivery of your metals are much higher than other IRA accounts.&nbsp; However, given the failure of mega-large financial institutions and investment houses, how many managment companies out there do you trust to hold your physical metals for you until you retire???&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;d say for most people you&#039;re better off investing in traditional assets in your IRA and if you want metals, buy those outside of the IRA.&nbsp; Especially when you consider the relatively low return on gold/silver over the past 30 years or so compared to the markets and the 28% collectibles gains rate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
