We offer the bullion coins and bars in gold, silver, platinum and palladium. 

Coins: 

Many of the coins we offer are available in different metals and weights.  This includes American Eagles, Buffaloes, Canadian Maples, Austrian Philharmonics, South African Krugerrands, British Britannia, and Australian Kangaroos.  

Bars:

Weights available by metal vary widely, but often include: 1 oz, 10 oz, 100 oz

Allocated accounts allow you to choose bullion coins (e.g. Eagles, Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, etc.) and bars in various weights (e.g. 1 oz, 10 oz, 1 kilo, 100 kilo, etc.).

• Buy/Sell Fee - When you buy or sell precious metals, you will be charged a fee within 1% of the wholesale price of the metal obtained by Battle Bank from our institutional sources.
• Premium Fee - If you are purchasing a specific type of bullion coin, then the total price of the coin would be the cost of the metal itself (in many cases 1 oz) as well as a 'premium' to fabricate or mint the coin. The premium is determined by the dealer that Battle Bank purchases from and can range from .5% to up to 4% on top of the price of the metal. 
• Storage Fee - If you request that Battle Bank store your allocated metals, storage fees will apply. Storage fees are charged quarterly in arrears and are calculated on the total value of the metal being stored. Fees per type of metal:
  • Gold= 1.5%
  • Silver= 2.5%
  • Platinum= 1.5%
  • Palladium= 2.0%

Keep in mind, metals (e.g., silver) come with higher storage fees due to the density and volume of weight compared to the price (e.g., $50,000 in bullion gold takes up much less space in a secure facility than $50,000 in bullion silver).

• Delivery Fee - You have the option of having your allocated metal delivered to the address on your Battle account. If you choose delivery, the following fee to ship will be applied to your account:
  • Gold= 1.0%
  • Silver= 1.75%
  • Platinum= 1.5%
  • Palladium= 1.0%

Yes, you can purchase bullion coins with a 99.5% fineness level for your Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, self-directed IRA, and Solo 401(k) at Battle Bank. This includes popular options like American Eagles, American Liberties, and Canadian Maple Leafs.

Since these are allocated metals within your IRA, Battle Bank will store them on your behalf, as you cannot take direct possession of IRA assets.

No. Battle Bank does not sell collector or rare coins. Instead, we only handle standard bullion coins. 

No. Since metals accounts are not deposit accounts, they are not insured by the FDIC.

Yes. Unless you hold precious metals in a tax deferred account, a 1099-B will be issued and available through your online banking portal.

Clients are not taxed simply because their metal holding appreciates in value. Capital gains tax applies when the metal is sold, and the investor realizes a gain or a loss in terms of fiat dollars.

For questions about tax reporting, please consult a tax advisor.

Yes, you can lose money if the value of the metal you own, declines.

Precious metals accounts are not FDIC insured nor are they principal protected.
