Frequently Asked Questions

Are Gold Eagles IRA eligible? Yes — all sizes, by specific act of Congress, despite being 22k rather than .995+; see IRA-eligible metals.

Why 22 karat instead of pure gold? The silver-copper alloy makes Eagles scratch-resistant for handling — each still contains its full stated gold weight. Prefer .9999? See the Gold Buffalo.

Which size should I buy? The 1 oz carries the lowest premium per ounce; fractional sizes cost more per ounce but lower the entry price and add selling flexibility.

How are they priced? Live gold spot × gold content plus a sovereign-coin premium, updated in real time.
