Make the Right Gold Investments for Your IRA

Investing in a Gold IRA can be a pivotal decision in your retirement planning. At Newmont Capital, we’re here to help you understand the ins and outs of choosing the right gold for your IRA.

Understanding Gold IRA Eligibility

What Makes Gold IRA-Compatible?

When it comes to Gold IRAs, not all gold is created equal. Eligible gold must meet specific purity and fineness standards. Typically, this means gold bars and coins must be at least 99.5% pure.

Approved Gold Coins and Bars

Many government-minted coins are eligible for Gold IRAs, including American Eagle coins, Canadian Maple Leafs, and Australian Kangaroos. Some gold bars from accredited mints also qualify.

What Doesn’t Qualify?

Rare or collectible coins, despite their value, are usually not eligible for Gold IRAs due to their collectability and varying purity.
