Can you Put Gold in Your IRA?

Can you Put Gold in Your IRA?: "Background

In 1986, as the U.S. Mint began issuing gold coins for the first time since 1933, a tax rule against holding “collectibles” in an IRA was relaxed to allow gold and silver Eagles. Later, in 1997, the Tax Payer Relief Act opened the IRA door for a broad spectrum of precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium), whether in the form of bullion or coin. The easier rules now apply to all types of IRAs, including traditional, Roth, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) and Simplified Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE). "
