Is this coin eligible for inclusion in a Precious Metals IRA?

To qualify for a Precious Metals IRA, the IRS generally requires silver coins to meet a minimum fineness of .999. This coin's .9999 purity meets that threshold; however, IRA custodians may have additional requirements regarding coin type or series eligibility, so confirming the specific rules with your IRA custodian before purchasing for that purpose is recommended.
