Self-directed IRA Exchange Program© -

The IRS permits (or excludes) specific types of commodities that can be held in a Precious Metals IRA, known as “Allowable Investments.” There is also a requirement that prohibits “slabbed” coins from being included in the portfolio.

Brandon’s Coins Self-directed IRA Exchange Program© accomplishes two major objectives:

We “crackout”² existing coins with known certification from NGC, PCGS. IGC and ANACS and known grades. These coins are submitted to your IRA with a coding so they can be re-submitted when you liquidate or take possession of your IRA in the future.
We purchase your collection of “Allowable” coins or bullion and re-sell it to your IRA. A % markup¹ is applied, plus shipping and insurance costs based on the table below.

The depository is set up to segregate your items so what you put in is exactly what you get out. The fee we charge is a one-time fee. Since these are coins with known “numismatic” value, we recommend that you only select items that have value already accumulated, or the potential to recoup the investment.

This approach is also a way to liquidate some of your current inventory without losing possession, and it provides you with immediate cash flow.

If you were to fund newly purchased items vs. items already in your possession, you will typically pay 8% to 15% more than our markup fee. Keep these fees in your IRA and tax deferred!

¹ The following is the markup % applied to the total invoice (before shipping and insurance costs):

Cost	Raw⁴	Slabbed⁵
< $10,000	9.0%	10.0%
$10,001 - $25,000	6.0%	8.0%
>25,000	5.0%	6.0%

²”Crackout” is a term used to describe the breaking of the edges of the “slabbed” case that is used to securely protect certified and graded coins, and removing those coins from their case. These coins are electronically sealed in the cases and can be removed without damage. While necessary precautions are taken to protect these coins, there is a remote possibility that damage can result in the removal or shipping.

³The IRS does not permit the owner of coins to take possession of coins while they are in their IRA, or to benefit from the sale. Currently, there have not been any adverse rulings that we are aware of that disallow the sale of a collection to a dealer and the submission to a custodian/depository. There is also no rule against the submission of graded coins in “raw” form. Consideration should be given to the grading and re-grading fees when calculating the ROI.

⁴Raw includes ungraded coins and bullion in the form of bars.

⁵Slabbed are any coins that have been certified or graded by a 3rd party.

⁶Cost is the single line item on the Sales Order for purposes of calculating the Markup.
