Gold and Silver IRAs is an independent site covering companies that offer combined gold-and-silver retirement accounts — how a gold and silver IRA works, current fees and storage options, and the companies that offer them — published and maintained by our editorial team. We're not a financial advisory firm, an IRA custodian, or a precious-metals dealer ourselves — we research publicly available information about fees, minimums, catalog scope, storage options, and company trust signals so readers can compare their options before opening an account.
We rank the companies featured on this site by a blend of trust and tenure, buying accessibility, and dual-metal catalog and storage flexibility, in this order of weight: BBB standing and complaint history, minimum fit for a typical rollover, whether a company's catalog covers both gold and silver (or more, such as platinum and palladium) versus gold-and-silver-only, storage flexibility (segregated vs. non-segregated, depository location options), and fee transparency. Star ratings shown on this site are our editorial synthesis of that criteria combined with publicly available third-party data — not a single scraped score, and not the result of our team opening an account with each company. Because this site's specific focus is holding both metals together, our ranking order can differ from a gold-only or silver-only comparison — see our homepage's "at a glance" table for how that plays out between Noble Gold and American Hartford Gold specifically. We update our guide periodically as fees, minimums, and promo terms change; see the Update History table on our homepage for the most recent revision.
This site contains affiliate links to Augusta Precious Metals, Goldco, Noble Gold, and American Hartford Gold. If you click one of these links and open an account with the company, we may receive a commission or referral fee — at no additional cost to you. This compensation does not influence which companies we choose to cover, how we rank them, or what we say about them; our guide follows the methodology described above, not the size of any commission.
Nothing on this site is personalized financial, legal, or tax advice. Before opening any account, we recommend independently verifying current fees, minimums, and promo terms directly with the company, and consulting a licensed financial or tax advisor about your specific situation.
