Silver IRA
Gold IRA Glossary
A self-directed IRA that holds physical silver meeting the .999 purity minimum, such as American Silver Eagles or accredited refiner bars. The rules are identical to a Gold IRA, and one account can hold both metals. Because silver is worth far less per ounce than gold, the same dollar investment means much more weight and volume, which can affect storage fees.
