[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 8415236, member: 20480"]I've seen so many highly-deceptive pieces of advertising intended to mislead folks into buying unqualified assets with their IRA funds. Even when control would have been out of his hands, I had to talk my very excited boss out of buying classic US Gold coins about 10 years ago, when he got a bi-fold pamphlet from a very prominent television advertiser which correctly asserted both ASE & AGE were qualified for his IRA (if managed by them, outside his control). The advertiser very cleverly transitioned to classic US Gold coins in the second half of the bi-fold pamphlet, omitting the fact that they do not qualify for inclusion in the IRA, while leaving the same qualification implied by association with the prior-presented ASE / AGE. I can only imagine how many got duped into buying classic US Gold coins from that company, and will eventually be dinged by the IRS for it. Doubtless, this same sales tactic was employed to great success by other unethical marketers.[/QUOTE]
