At Verity Metals, education always comes before investment. Below, you’ll find straightforward answers to the questions investors ask most often from IRA rollovers to storage, fees, and tax rules.
Transparent answers. No sales pressure.
A Gold IRA (or Precious Metals IRA) is a self-directed individual retirement account that allows you to own physical gold, silver, platinum, or palladium instead of paper assets like stocks and bonds. It offers the same tax benefits as traditional IRAs — but with tangible assets that hold real value.
Yes. The process is typically penalty-free when done through a direct rollover. Your funds move from your current custodian to an IRS-approved custodian who manages your gold and silver holdings. Verity Metals guides you through every step to make the transfer smooth and compliant.
Most rollovers are completed within 2–3 weeks, depending on how quickly your current retirement account provider releases the funds.
IRS regulations require specific purities for metals to be eligible:
All metals must come from approved mints or refineries such as the U.S. Mint or Royal Canadian Mint.
Yes. Many investors hold both — gold for stability and silver for growth potential. Our specialists help you find the right balance for your goals.
All IRA metals are held in IRS-approved, fully insured depositories. These facilities are highly secure, audited regularly, and provide independent account verification. Your metals are stored under your name and IRA account number, not pooled with others.
No. IRS rules prohibit home storage of IRA assets. Metals must remain in an approved depository to maintain tax advantages and avoid severe penalties.
Yes. All metals are fully insured for their current market value while in storage and during transit.
We pride ourselves on industry-low, transparent fees. Your costs include:
There are no hidden charges, commissions, or markups.
Yes. Precious metals prices move with the global market. However, once you lock in your purchase, your rate is secured at that moment — no surprises.
Absolutely. We offer a transparent buyback program based on real-time market rates. Selling back through Verity is fast, simple, and handled with the same integrity as your original purchase.
No. The same tax rules apply. Traditional IRAs are tax-deferred until withdrawal. Roth IRAs grow tax-free after taxes are paid on contributions. The difference lies in what your IRA holds — physical metals, not paper assets.
When you begin taking distributions, you can liquidate your metals for cash or take physical possession of your gold and silver. Both options are allowed under IRS rules.
Yes. Withdrawals before age 59½ typically incur a 10% penalty, just like traditional IRAs.
Because we lead with education, not sales. We built Verity Metals to do what others wouldn’t — tell the truth.

client-first service, government-issued IRA-approved metals, secure
