Understanding Gold IRAs
What Is a Gold IRA?
A Gold IRA is a special type of individual retirement account that includes IRS-approved precious metals, such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, in addition to or instead of paper assets. It's a self-directed IRA, which means you're in control of all investment decisions.
In a Gold IRA, you own real, physical gold. Unlike buying gold stocks or mutual funds, your investment here is in actual gold bars or coins, not just paper that represents gold. An IRS-approved custodian holds these physical assets in an approved depository on your behalf.
With Citadel Gold, you have the option to select the metals that align best with your retirement goals. Our team is here to help you make informed choices for a solid and secure retirement strategy.
A Simple Process
How Does a Gold IRA Work?
Purchase Physical Gold
Buy actual gold bars or coins rather than paper assets — you're holding a physical asset that can be stored securely.
Secure Storage
Your gold is stored in an IRS-approved depository, ensuring your assets are safe and meet all regulatory requirements.
Tax Advantages
Contributions can be tax-deferred or tax-free (Roth), allowing your investment to grow without immediate tax obligations.
Investment Options
Best Investment in a Gold IRA
When selecting gold and precious metals for your IRA, the IRS has strict guidelines. Approved metals include gold (with a minimum fineness of 99.5%), as well as certain silver, platinum, and palladium products.
Citadel Gold offers a wide variety of IRS-approved precious metals, including popular coins like the American Gold Eagle, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, and American Silver Eagle.

Common Questions
Gold IRA FAQ
A Gold IRA is a self-directed individual retirement account that allows you to hold physical precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Unlike traditional IRAs that focus on stocks and bonds, a Gold IRA lets you invest in tangible assets that you own and store securely in an IRS-approved depository.
The IRS approves specific precious metals that meet purity standards: Gold (99.5% purity), Silver (99.9% purity), Platinum, and Palladium. Popular choices include American Gold Eagles, Canadian Gold Maple Leafs, and American Silver Eagles.
Generally, Gold IRA rollovers are not taxable when done correctly. In a direct rollover, funds transfer automatically from one account to another, avoiding any taxes or penalties. Our experts work with you to ensure your rollover is handled properly.
Your metals are stored in an IRS-approved depository, such as the Delaware Depository. These facilities meet strict security standards and are regularly audited. If you prefer direct ownership outside of an IRA, we can ship metals securely to you.
Citadel Gold requires a $25,000 minimum to open a precious metals IRA. For non-IRA purchases, minimums vary by product. Your personal advisor will help you navigate options to optimize your investment strategy.
