Personally Holding Physical Gold in an IRA

Post by stuper1 » Thu Jun 15, 2017 1:10 pm

I was listening to the radio last night, and an advertisement came on regarding buying physical gold coins in an IRA, and the person said that you can hold the coins yourself at home or in your bank safe deposit box. I didn't think this was possible. I thought that a custodian had to hold the IRA assets.

Is this possible? I would love this, as most of my assets are in retirement accounts, which makes it hard to hold physical gold.
