Which gold coins do you offer?
Retired.com offers American Gold Eagles, American Gold Buffalos, Canadian Maple Leafs, South African Krugerrands, British Britannias, Austrian Philharmonics, and Australian Kangaroos, among others.
Are gold coins IRA-eligible?
Most popular sovereign bullion coins are IRA-eligible. American Gold Eagles qualify even though they are slightly under the 99.5% purity threshold, due to their legal-tender status.
What sizes are available?
Most programs offer one ounce, half ounce, quarter ounce, and tenth ounce coins. Larger denominations like ten ounce and one kilo are also available in select programs.
Why do coins have higher premiums than bars?
Sovereign minting, design intricacy, and global recognition add to the premium over spot. The trade-off is greater liquidity and broader recognition when reselling.
How is authenticity verified?
Coins arrive in original mint packaging or sealed tubes where applicable. We source exclusively through authorized distribution channels.
Can I take delivery?
For non-IRA purchases, yes. Coins ship insured to your chosen address. IRA-held coins must remain at an approved depository.

Storage costs $150 for non-segregated metals and $240 for segregated.
