How does a precious metals IRA work?

You may fund your precious metals IRA with a variety of different gold, silver and platinum coins. Most people choose American Eagle coins from the United States Mint. You enjoy the flexibility to include IPM recommendend coins to your IRA holdings, which allows you to enjoy many of the benefits of our unique investment strategies. Your coins are held by a third-party trust company specializing in self-directed retirement funds, which is fully licenced and regulated by federal and state agencies. IPM can help you to set up an account with one of our recommended trust service companies. You can then fund your account and direct the trust company to acquire exactly the metals you want from IPM. Your coins are then shipped to a secure, fully insured depository that will hold your coins for the full term of your IRA. Your selected trust company will provide you with full details on the credentials and policies of their associated depository.

By rolling over an existing IRA into a precious metals account, you could be eligible to fund it with Treasury-sealed Mint rolls and Mint cases of American Eagle coins. Treasury sealed rolls and cases are a great way to hold these coins: They offer special appeal on secondary coin markets, as their sealed condition ensures that they have not been picked through in search of MS-69 and MS-70 specimens. An IRA holding may offer the opportunity to liquidate at a time when secondary market potential is mature, giving added value to your IRA investment!

IPM accepts many convenient forms of payment, including major credit cards, personal and bank checks, bank wires, and metal trades. Talk with your account reprentative to determine the best and most convenient form of payment for any particular transaction.
