Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between physical gold and gold ETFs?
Physical gold is tangible metal you own directly, with serial numbers tied to your account. Gold ETFs are securities that track the price of gold but represent shares in a fund, not the metal itself.
What forms of physical gold can I buy?
Retired.com offers gold bars in a range of sizes from one gram to a kilogram or larger, plus sovereign coins like American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, and South African Krugerrands.
Are my purchases allocated?
Yes. Every purchase is tied to specific, identifiable bars or coins held in your name. We do not use pooled or unallocated structures.
Can I take delivery of my gold?
For non-IRA purchases, yes. We ship discreetly with full insurance to a location of your choice. For IRA purchases, IRS rules require storage at an approved depository until distribution.
How is authenticity verified?
We source only from recognized mints and refiners. Bars carry serial numbers and assay certificates, and coins arrive in original mint packaging where applicable.
What does storage cost?
Vault storage fees are based on the value of the metals stored and are disclosed up front. There are no hidden charges.
How do I sell my physical gold?
Retired.com offers buyback at competitive market rates. You can sell at any time, with proceeds returned via your funding method or kept inside your IRA.
How is my gold insured?
Vault-stored gold is fully insured against loss, theft, and damage. Shipped gold is insured in transit until signed delivery.
