If you’re planning for retirement, you may be considering funding your IRA with precious metals, such as gold, silver, or platinum. A certified rare coins dealer who offers gold or silver coins for sale can facilitate a purchase for coins or bullion that you can deposit safely into your IRA. Here is more information about how you can build a better retirement with precious metals.
Funding Your IRA With Platinum, Gold, or Silver Coins
Buying platinum, gold, or silver coins is a lucrative way to diversify your IRA funds. Including precious metals in your IRA can protect your funds from inflation and government intrusion into your finances. IRAs that contain some funding from precious metals are less volatile and may offer greater long-term returns. Physical bullion bars and coins offer physical, tangible, and direct ownership.
Funding Your IRA With Investments in Precious Metals
In addition to funding your IRA with physical gold, silver, or platinum coins or bars, you can invest in precious metal mining stocks, mutual funds, Perth Precious Metals Certificates, or exchange traded funds. Stocks and mutual funds are easily traded, and must pay dividends. Exchange traded funds are also easily traded, and you can track precious metal prices directly by watching their market value. Perth Precious Metal Certificates are government guaranteed and insured, easily traded, and offer investments in gold, silver, and platinum.
How to Fund Your IRA With Precious Metals
To fund your IRA with precious metal investments, you must purchase your investments in cash funds from your IRA. Physical coins and bars must be purchased by a qualified IRA trustee, and held by a qualified custodian.
