Popular IRA-Approved Gold Bullion

Gold bullion products are always a popular buy among precious metal enthusiasts. Investors turn to gold and other precious metals to protect their wealth against inflation and market fluctuations. There are many gold bars and gold coins for sale with JM Bullion that are authorized for use in Precious Metal IRA accounts. On this page, you’ll find the most popular IRA-approved gold bullion we carry in our extensive online gold catalog. These products range from sovereign mint-issued gold coins to gold bars from private refineries.

Popular IRA-Approved Gold Bullion Coins

Gold bullion coins are a popular investment choice among many gold buyers for one reason: government issuance. Coins such as the American Gold Eagle and the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf contain gold content which is backed for purity and weight by a sovereign government. In this case, the federal government of the United States of America and the federal government of Canada. Below are some of the many gold bullion coins which are popular additions to gold IRA accounts:

• American Gold Eagle: The official gold bullion coin of the US, these coins are available in weights of 1 oz gold, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz. The coins have 22-karat gold content and have been available since 1986.
• American Gold Buffalo: Though not the official gold bullion coin of the US, the Gold Buffalo stands out as the first-ever 24-karat gold coin struck by the United States Mint. The American Gold Buffalo has been available since 2006.
• Canadian Gold Maple Leaf: The Gold Maple Leaf issued by the Royal Canadian Mint was the world’s second-ever gold bullion coin in the modern age, debuting from the mint in 1979. In 1982, it became the first gold bullion coin issued with .9999 pure gold content.
• Chinese Gold Panda: The third-ever gold coin of the modern age, the Chinese Gold Panda debuted first in 1981 and is made available each year with a new design of the Panda on one side. It was the first gold bullion coin to use this design technique.
• Australian Gold Kangaroo: First introduced as the Gold Nugget, the Australian Kangaroo also uses a new reverse design image of the kangaroo each year. It debuted in 1986 and was rebranded the Gold Kangaroo in 1990.

There are countless other popular IRA-approved gold bullion coins out there. The Royal Mint of England’s Gold Britannia coin, the Austrian Mint’s Gold Philharmonic, and the more recent Queen’s Beast Coins from the Royal Mint are just a few examples.

Popular IRA-Approved Gold Bullion Bars

If coins aren’t your thing, you’re in luck! There is a greater variety available when it comes to popular IRA-approved gold bars for sale. The gold in these bars may not be backed by a sovereign entity, but that doesn’t diminish the value of these items in Precious Metal IRAs or hurt their popularity as an IRA-approved gold bullion option. Among the gold bar examples listed below, the common thread is the international standing of the refinery issuing the gold and the credibility of the assayer’s verifying the weight, purity, and metal content of the bars:

• Perth Mint Gold: Available from the state-owned mint of Western Australia, Perth Mint Gold Bars are available in weights from 1 Gram up to 10 oz or more. The bars have .9999 pure gold content and feature the Swan logo of the Perth Mint. The bars come securely packaged in protective plastic and feature Assay cards verifying purity and weight.
• Credit Suisse Gold: The gold bars from Credit Suisse are backed by the history of a Swiss refinery that dates back to the 1850s. Credit Suisse gold is verified by an assayer and includes .9999 pure gold content.
• Royal Canadian Mint Gold: One of the few sovereign mints issuing gold bars, Royal Canadian Mint gold bars have .9999 purity, the backing of the federal government for weight and purity, and are also adjudged by an assayer.
• Valcambi Suisse Gold: Some of the most unique IRA-approved gold bars come from Valcambi Suisse. Founded in 1961, recent innovations have allowed Valcambi to expand beyond standard 1 oz bars to issue its famed CombiBars which break down into smaller bars without any loss of purity or gold content.

Gold bars are popular IRA-approved gold options, in part, due to their diversity. Gold bars are available in weights ranging from 1 Gram to 10 oz, 5 Kilograms, and even 100 oz. There’s an affordable option for any gold IRA investor when it comes to gold bars.

Basics of a Gold IRA Account

When you buy these popular IRA-approved gold bars or coins, you’ll be directing them to a gold IRA account. Gold IRA accounts are like any other IRA investment account, but instead of investing in mutual funds or stocks, you are purchasing physical gold products such as the popular bars and coins mentioned above. Gold IRA accounts offer an option for investors looking to safeguard their wealth against fluctuations by providing long-term stability. Gold IRA accounts are available as pre-tax Traditional IRAs or as post-tax Roth IRAs.
