Rand Refinery gold bars meet the IRS's .995 minimum fineness requirement under IRC Section 408(m)(3) at 99.99% purity, comfortably clearing the threshold. That said, IRA custodians maintain their own approved-product lists, and not every custodian treats LBMA Good Delivery accreditation as automatically equivalent to NYMEX/COMEX accreditation, which some custodians require specifically.
In practice, most major custodians accept Rand Refinery bars, but given that at least one established dealer lists this exact product as not IRA-eligible, the responsible step is to confirm acceptance with your specific IRA custodian before purchasing for a retirement account.
BOLD's team can help coordinate that conversation directly.
BOLD works directly with leading IRA custodians to make rollovers from existing 401(k) or Traditional IRA accounts straightforward.
Practical for 1 to 5 bars. Use a bolted, TL-rated safe. Check your homeowner's insurance policy schedule for valuables (standard policies typically carry low limits on precious metals) and add a bullion rider if needed.
Low cost, accessible during business hours. Important note: FDIC insurance does not cover the contents of safety deposit boxes. Separate bullion insurance is advisable here too.
Services such as Delaware Depository and Brinks offer allocated, segregated storage with full insurance. Contact them directly for current fee schedules, which vary by asset value and storage type. The right choice once you hold a significant amount of physical gold.
For buyers looking to buy physical gold outside the paper-asset system, Rand Refinery bars remain one of the most trusted forms of gold investment available—a genuine way to buy gold bullion backed by referee-level LBMA accreditation and over a century of refining history.
Most major firms that offer IRAs accept them, and they are 99.99% pure, which satisfies the IRS fineness requirement of .995 in IRC Section 408(m)(3). At least one of the established dealers lists this product as not being IRA-eligible, and custodian-approved product lists differ, so check with your particular custodian before buying for an IRA. BOLD's team can facilitate that discussion.
Between 1 gram and 1 kilogram. Currently BOLD only sells the 1 oz. Rand Refinery Elephant Gold Bar in the Black Assay card. Other sizes are available on request via the ‘Notify Me’ button, and you will be informed when they are back in stock.
Most states in the United States do not charge sales tax for investment-grade gold bars that are at the 99.5%+ purity level. Capital gains tax is a tax that will be levied on you if you sell something for a profit, depending on your income bracket and holding period. See your tax advisor for your situation.
They are also LBMA Good Delivery, which means that they are liquid, with no loss of value when sold anywhere in the world to any major dealer or exchange. Indeed, when combined with 99.99% purity and over 100 years of uninterrupted use, they are one of the simpler options to invest in physical gold.
Yes. BOLD buys Rand Refinery bars at a competitive buy-back price, depending on the live spot price. Their LBMA status means additional assay isn't required before making an offer.
The London Bullion Market Association's Good Delivery List is the benchmark of the international market for gold quality and bar traceability. Unaccredited refinery bars are freely traded between institutional vaults and exchanges and don't need further testing. The highest ranks of referee status are awarded to Rand Refinery, which also cross-verifies other refineries' bars, which directly equates to resale ease for buyers.
Each has the same 99.99% purity and has been accredited by the LBMA as Good Delivery. In practice this translates itself into design and heritage: PAMP Suisse has an artistic side with their Lady Fortuna series, Valcambi has a minimalist side with their CombiBars, while Rand Refinery is known for classic design and South African heritage. If you are looking to invest, you should purchase on price, and the liquidity of resale is similar.
The price is the live spot price of gold plus the dealer premium as shown in the product grid above and in real-time during market hours. BOLD's Pricing Guarantee is a daily comparison with APMEX, JM Bullion, Hero Bullion, and Monument Metals.
