Start with the account rules

IRS rules generally restrict IRA investment in collectibles, including many metals and coins, while providing exceptions for certain coins and qualifying gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion. Product eligibility and custody both matter.

Compare economics, not labels

Physical metals can have dealer premiums, bid-ask spreads, storage costs and differing liquidity. Those costs can vary materially by product and transaction size.
