What Silver Coins Are IRA Eligible?
Silver can be held in individual retirement accounts (IRAs), with certain bullion coins and bars approved as acceptable investments. Physical precious metals held within an IRA are administered by a custodian or trustee.
An IRA-approved bullion must meet IRS minimum fineness requirements and come from an official national government mint, with physical delivery before age 59 1/2 incurring an early withdrawal penalty of 10% plus taxes.
American Silver Eagle
Silver bullion coins like the American Silver Eagle, with its majestic depiction of the American flag on its reverse, are popular among Precious Metals IRA owners. Unfortunately, certain silver proof coins issued by the US Mint’s America the Beautiful series cannot be included in an IRA account.
Coins eligible for inclusion in an IRA must be manufactured by approved mints and feature certificates of authenticity; small bullion bars must also meet exact weight specifications. As a result, rare and collectible coins, as well as certified ones, typically do not qualify as items to put into an IRA account; the IRS sets its rules accordingly and JM Bullion only stocks items which qualify.

For instance, the 2024 British Silver Britannia contains one full troy ounce of pure silver; those produced between 1998 and 2012 contain lower fineness levels (.958) while coins produced after 2013 feature higher fineness levels of 999 fineness.
Swiss Silver Franc
Silver coins with beautiful designs and high purity levels are popular investments among investors.
