The 2021 1.5 oz Australian Spotted Eagle Stingray Silver Coin pairs 99.99% (.9999 fine) silver content with sovereign-grade authority, giving you a tradeable bullion position with clear provenance.
The 2021 Australian Spotted Eagle Stingray is produced by The Perth Mint, one of the world’s most trusted silver refiners. Each coin contains 1.5 troy ounces of .9999 fine silver and is issued as legal tender of Australia under the authority of the Commonwealth.
The reverse showcases the spotted eagle stingray in motion, rendered in frosted relief against a radial background. The obverse bears the Jody Clark portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the year, and the coin’s weight and purity. Strike quality is brilliant uncirculated.
As a one-year-only Perth Mint design, the Spotted Eagle Stingray combines investment-grade silver with modest numismatic scarcity. Perth Mint products carry global dealer recognition, making resale straightforward in any major market. Cedar Gold’s Buyback Guarantee commits to purchase this product back at competitive market rates for as long as you hold it, with zero liquidation fees on the outbound side.
Approved for self-directed Precious Metals IRAs, this coin fits portfolios seeking both bullion weight and limited-edition appeal. The 1.5 oz format diversifies holdings beyond the standard 1 oz bullion tier. Inside a self-directed Precious Metals IRA, this product is held by a qualified custodian at an approved depository, so you retain ownership but cannot take personal possession until distribution.

IRS REQUIREMENTS (IRC §408(m)(3))
The Internal Revenue Code sets statutory minimum fineness thresholds for metals held in an IRA: gold .995, silver .999, platinum .9995, palladium .9995. Coins must be produced by a qualifying sovereign mint; bars must be produced by a refiner accredited by NYMEX, COMEX, NYSE-LIFFE, LME, LBMA, LPPM, TOCOM, ISO 9000, or a national government mint.
Collectibles are generally disallowed under IRC §408(m); the precious-metals exception in §408(m)(3) is narrow and fineness-driven. Specific U.S. coins, notably the American Gold Eagle and Silver Eagle are listed by statute.
A Precious Metals IRA must be held under a qualified custodian (trust company, bank, or qualifying non-bank custodian) and the metals themselves must be stored at an approved depository. You do not take personal possession of IRA-owned metals while they remain inside the account.
Common depositories include the Delaware Depository, Brink’s Global Services, IDS of Delaware and Texas, and A-M Global Logistics. Your chosen custodian will coordinate shipment and intake with the depository on your behalf.
Depositaries offer two storage modes: segregated (your coins are held in a dedicated account and never commingled) and non-segregated or pooled (like-kind coins of the same series are stored together and a specific bar/coin is returned on distribution). Segregated storage carries a higher fee but preserves specific-coin identity.
All IRA-approved depositories carry all-risk insurance with Lloyd’s of London underwriting covering fire, theft, natural disaster, and employee dishonesty. Annual storage and insurance fees typically run from approximately $100 to $300, depending on account size and storage mode.
Traditional Precious Metals IRA: contributions may be deductible; growth is tax-deferred; distributions are taxed as ordinary income. Roth Precious Metals IRA: contributions are after-tax; qualified distributions (age 59½ and 5-year rule) are tax-free. Physical metals held in an IRA are treated identically to paper assets for tax purposes; the collectibles-rate long-term capital gains rule does NOT apply to metals held inside a qualifying IRA.
You can fund a Precious Metals IRA through a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer, a 60-day indirect rollover, or annual contributions. Direct transfers have no frequency limits and are not reported to the IRS as distributions. 60-day rollovers are limited to one per 12-month period across all of your IRAs (the Bobrow rule).
Eligible source accounts: Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA (after two years), 401(k), 403(b), 457(b), and TSP. The 2026 annual IRA contribution limit is $7,500 ($8,600 with the age-50 catch-up, per IRS Notice 2025-67). Confirm with your CPA or custodian.
Note: Cedar Gold Group is not a tax, legal, or financial advisor. IRA eligibility information is based on IRC §408(m)(3) as interpreted at the time of publication. Consult your tax professional and IRA custodian for guidance on your specific account.
