You can rollover some of your IRA into gold and silver but that is basically paper/electronic gold/silver. To get real physical gold and silver takes a special IRA set up. Not sure how it works, but sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through. My personal opinion is that you can not have enough gold and silver. At age 59.5 you can start taking disbursements without a 10% penalty. I plan on converting quite a chunk to precious metals.
