Dealer (Precious Metals Dealer)
Gold IRA Glossary
The company that sells you the coins or bars for your Gold IRA. Dealers are separate from custodians and depositories: the dealer sells the metal, the custodian administers the account, and the depository stores the metal. Dealer pricing varies, so comparing premiums and fees across several companies is a common first step.
