How to Put Gold and Silver in an IRA

Considering today’s economy and the state of the nation, now is an excellent time to consider putting gold and silver into an IRA. In fact there are several different types of precious metals which one might consider to back an IRA.

Gold Eagles were actually earmarked specially with IRA’s in mind. This particular group of gold coins is instantly liquid and is exempt from confiscation under the act instituted by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1933. Additional coins which may be considered to back IRA’s are the Perth Mint’s Lunar Series, Gold Harmonikers, the Gold Maple Leaf, Philharmonikers, and Kangaroo Nuggets. These coins are allowed because of their degree of pureness and the fact that they are considered legal tender. There is one silver coin which currently may be used to back IRA’s and that is the Silver Eagle.

$20 Liberty Gold Coins

The California gold rush was part of the motivation behind Congress making the decision to mint the $20 Double Eagle in 1849. The first of the $20 Liberty gold coins also known as Liberty Double Eagles were minted in 1850.

The Liberty Double Eagles were minted in three different Types over the course of the years. The first production was between the years of 1849 and 1866 yielding Type I with no motto. Between 1866 and 1876 Type II was created bearing the words “Twenty D” on the reverse side of the gold coin. Between the years of 1877 through 1907 Type III was produced bearing the designation “Twenty Dollars” spelled out on the

Physical Gold IRA

The Physical Gold IRA is becoming quite popular as consumers are closely watching high percentages in losses on the traditional paper IRA. In today’s volatile economic environment the paper IRA continues to weaken while the Physical Gold IRA on the other hand continues to rise in price and value.There are a couple of contributing factors to the declining value of the traditional paper IRA. The current economic trend in the global market dictates the course of events that weaken the value of the dollar while strengthening the price and value of gold. With the country at war, the many bank failures, defaulted loans, and the continuing price inflation of oil and gas, paper investments will continue to decline. Ironically gold prices rise in price and value in negative conditions. Prices of gold will fluctuate as the value is dictated by the buy and sell process of investors strengthening

Jan 10, 2008 The commodity super-cycle has swept gold prices to triple since 2001 — but that’s just the kickoff say the experts.

How high will this bull market in “real money” and commodities drive gold prices over the next 5 to 15 years? Get ready to be shocked!

Gold prices have grown about $100/oz. per year since 2003. Gold was $300 in ‘03, $400 in ‘04, $500 in ‘05, $600 in ‘06 and now $800 in ‘07. Savvy investors and gold experts see $950 plus gold in 2008!

Recently many analysts have jumped onto the $1,000/oz. plus gold bandwagon — most of whom were not considered “gold bugs” in the past, like Citibank and JP Morgan & Co.

Why Invest in Gold?

Historically, gold has been a proven method of preserving value when a national currency was losing value. If your investments are valued in a depreciating currency, allocating a portion to gold assets is similar to a financial insurance policy.

The Bankers Manifesto of 1892

Revealed by US Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. from Minnesota before the US Congress sometime during his term of office between the years of 1907 and 1917 to warn the citizens.

“We (the bankers) must proceed with caution and guard every move made, for the lower order of people are already showing signs of restless commotion. Prudence will therefore show a policy of apparently yielding to the popular will until our plans are so far consummated that we can declare our designs without fear of any organized resistance. The Farmers Alliance and Knights of Labor organizations in the United States should be carefully watched by our trusted men, and we must take immediate steps to control these organizations in our interest or disrupt them.

At the coming Omaha Convention to be held July 4th (1892), our men must attend and direct its

History

Palladium has a history that is sealed with that of platinum, with which it is found, and with which it is also associated as a member of the platinum metals group, also known as the noble metals. “Native platinum” refers to the natively occurring platinum which is not actually pure platinum at all, but rather a natively alloyed mix of platinum group metals including palladium. Palladium was not separated from platinum for quite some time after the discovery of native platinum, so the early history is a shared one.

Despite being worked with some skill by South American Indians over 1,000 years ago, not until the Spanish conquest of the New World during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries did news reach Europe of a new white metal with unusual properties. The Spanish first

History

As an excellent jewelry material, platinum is regarded by many as a “new” metal. In actuality, platinum, one of the rarest (on an annual basis, only about 133 tons of platinum are mined, compared to about 1,782 tons of gold) and purest precious metals in the world and was discovered long before the concept of “modern” came into vogue.

Dating back to 700 BC, when the ancient Egyptians mastered the techniques of processing platinum to 100 BC, when the Indians in Pre-Columbian South America combined it with gold, platinum has played an important role in the culture of human
