Many Goldline clients choose to include precious metals as part of their retirement planning.* If you wish to include precious
metals within your Individual Retirement Account (IRA), Goldline can assist you.
Once you have made the decision to include precious metals in your IRA, you will choose an appropriate IRA custodian. Goldline
can suggest a third-party custodian if you desire. A brochure from one such independent custodian can be found at the bottom
of this page. After the IRA custodian receives the proper paperwork and funds, you decide which precious metals to include in
your IRA. Our Account Executives are available to help you throughout the process.
When you are ready to take distributions from your IRA, Goldline can assist you in converting your precious metals to cash or
arranging for delivery of your coins.
Coins that can be Held in an IRA
The United States government currently allows certain bullion and proof
coins such as gold
and silver
American Eagles to be held in IRAs.* Proof coins are special collector
versions of the mass produced bullion coins.
Proof coins undergo a specialized minting process that uses select
dies. Lustrous coin blanks are fed manually into the presses where they
are struck multiple times to ensure softly frosted, detailed coin images
raised above a mirror-like background. Mint inspectors review each coin
before deeming it a proof and place it in a protective plastic case.
Proof American
Eagles come in satin-lined velvet presentation cases with official
U.S. Mint Certificates of Authenticity.
Proof coins typically have a limited mintage and their prices are determined by multiple factors including: mintage, rarity, condition, age, the price of the particular metal, and demand. The United States government issues a limited number of proof coins each year and certain years have been known to sell out quickly. Due to their numismatic significance, proof coins typically carry a premium over their metal content, or bullion value. Their values, which do move up and down in markets, may not be as volatile as their bullion counterparts.
Bullion coins can be thought of as common coins. Their values are dependent upon and tied closely to the spot price of gold, silver, or platinum.
