Universal Coin & Bullion provides customers with a comprehensive selection of genuine IRA-eligible gold and silver bullion products. We strongly recommend precious metals products from the United States; however, we also offer products from reputable mints around the world.

Alternatively, you can take an "in-kind" distribution, which allows you to have your gold or other precious metals shipped directly to you. There may be tax implications, so you will want to discuss these options with your professional tax advisor.
