I don't doubt what you're saying, but if this is true, then American Eagles would not qualify in such IRAs. In fact, most gold coins are around 90% gold, because 100% gold scratches too easily. I know that the Canadian Maple Leaf is 99.9% gold, and it scratches extremely easily. Off hand, I don't know of any other regular-issue gold bullion coins which are close to 99% gold, other than the Maple Leaf.
