Protecting the money you can't afford to lose.
If you are within a few years of retirement, you don't have the luxury of waiting for the market to 'bounce back' after a crash. You need to know that the savings you've built over 40 years will actually be there when you need them.
Most retirement accounts are 100% dependent on the traditional financial system. If the system stumbles, your quality of life is at risk. Physical gold is different. It's a tangible asset with no counterparty risk. It's something you can actually own, held in your name, in a secure vault.
- Hedge against the declining value of the dollar
- Protection from bank failures and systemic risk
- Tax-deferred ownership of physical coins and bars
- Peace of mind for your retirement years
The Four Pillars of Your Gold IRA
To keep your gold within a tax-advantaged IRA, the IRS requires a specific setup. You make the decisions, while these entities handle the paperwork and security.
1. You (The Decision Maker)
You decide when to buy, when to sell, and exactly which metals you want in your account.
2. The Custodian
An IRS-approved institution that handles the tax reporting and administrative work.
3. The Depository
A secure, audited facility (like Brink's) where your physical metal is stored and insured.
4. The Dealer (Liberty)
We source the metal, verify the quality, and ensure it gets delivered safely to your depository.
Moving Your Funds Safely
Moving your 401(k), 403(b), or existing IRA into a Gold IRA is a standard process. When done as a Direct Rollover, the money moves directly between institutions. This means no taxes, no penalties, and no hassle with the IRS.
We coordinate with your current custodian to ensure the transfer is handled cleanly and correctly. You stay in control; we handle the technical heavy lifting.
- Tax-free and penalty-free transfers
- Works with most retirement account types
- We coordinate with your current custodian
- Everything documented in your Written Bond
What Qualifies for Your IRA?
The IRS is very specific about which metals can be held in an IRA. If you buy the wrong product, you could face immediate taxes and penalties. We only source metals that meet the strict 'fineness' standards required by law.
| Metal | IRS Requirement | Eligible Products |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | .995 Fine | Sovereign coins (like American Eagles) and LBMA bars |
| Silver | .999 Fine | Sovereign coins and approved bullion bars |
| Platinum | .9995 Fine | Approved coins and accredited mint bars |
| Palladium | .9995 Fine | Approved coins and accredited mint bars |

“My financial advisor said physical gold is a bad idea.”
We operate strictly as a dealer, not an investment advisor. We encourage you to consult your fiduciary regarding how physical metals fit into your broader asset allocation.
