Secure Your Financial Future with Tangible Assets
At Olevian Numismatic Rarities, we're committed to providing our clients with comprehensive investment options that go beyond traditional financial instruments. We're pleased to announce our Precious Metals IRA program, offering you the opportunity to diversify your retirement portfolio with physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium assets.
What is a Precious Metals IRA?
A Precious Metals IRA is a self-directed Individual Retirement Account that holds physical precious metals instead of paper assets like stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. These specialized retirement accounts maintain the same tax advantages of conventional IRAs while allowing you to own tangible, physical precious metals that you can see and touch.
True Portfolio Diversification
As we've long emphasized at ONR, diversification is key to a stable investment portfolio. While traditional financial advisors may limit your options to securities products, precious metals provide genuine diversification by performing independently of stock and bond markets.
Hedge Against Inflation and Economic Uncertainty
Throughout history, precious metals have maintained their purchasing power while paper currencies have declined in value. During periods of economic uncertainty, currency devaluation, and geopolitical instability, precious metals often strengthen as investors seek safe-haven assets.
Physical, Tangible Assets
Unlike digital investments or paper securities, precious metals are physical assets with intrinsic value. As Dane Olevian often notes, you become "a custodian of tangible wealth" when you invest in precious metals.
Protection from Systemic Financial Risk
Precious metals exist outside the banking system and are not dependent on any financial institution's solvency or performance, providing insulation from banking crises or systemic financial failures.
Tax Advantages
Just like traditional retirement accounts, Precious Metals IRAs offer significant tax benefits, either through tax-deferred growth (Traditional IRA) or tax-free qualified withdrawals (Roth IRA).
The IRS maintains strict requirements regarding which precious metals can be included in a self- directed IRA. Working with ONR ensures that you will only purchase IRA-compliant products that meet these stringent standards

What are the contribution limits for a Precious Metals IRA?
Contribution limits for Precious Metals IRAs follow the same guidelines as traditional IRAs. For 2025, individuals under 50 can contribute up to $7,000 annually, while those 50 and older can make catch-up contributions, bringing their total to $8,000. However, existing funds can also be rolled over from other sources (See Below).
Can I convert my existing IRA or 401(k) to a Precious Metals IRA?
Yes. Most retirement accounts, including Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, 457 plans, and Thrift Savings Plans (TSPs) can be rolled over or transferred to a self-directed IRA that holds precious metals.
Are there minimum investment requirements?
Precious Metals IRAs are available to most everyone and there are no minimum investment requirements. However, we suggest a practical minimum of $5,000 to get the best value out of the account set up fees and storage charges.
Can I take physical possession of my IRA-held precious metals?
No. IRS regulations require that IRA-held precious metals remain in the custody of a qualified trustee or custodian until distribution. Taking physical possession before retirement age would constitute a distribution, potentially triggering taxes and penalties. ONR is happy to offer you quality precious metals for direct sale if you prefer taking possession of your metals now.
What happens when I reach retirement age?
When you reach 59½, you have several options:
How liquid are precious metals in an IRA?
Precious metals are highly liquid assets. Should you need to sell, ONR can facilitate the transaction quickly, with funds returning to your IRA account for reinvestment or distribution.
