American Hartford Gold is a gold IRA dealer. The figures below come from our own fee database, where every entry stores the page it was read from and the date it was read, and this record was last checked on April 17, 2026. Where the company publishes nothing we say so rather than estimating a number that would look like a fact.

What it costs to open and hold

ChargeAmountAgainst our set
Setup fee $0 $0 to $280 across 12 dealers
Annual administration $100 $80 to $250 across 12 dealers
Storage, segregated $150 Not enough dealers publish this to draw a range
Storage, commingled $125 Not enough dealers publish this to draw a range
Wire fee $30 Not enough dealers publish this to draw a range
Account minimum $10,000 $2,000 to $50,000 across 12 dealers
Dealer spread over spot 5.0% Not enough dealers publish this to draw a range

These figures are derived from a stated range or from the custodian it uses, because the company publishes no figure. Storage and administration are usually billed by the custodian rather than by the dealer, so the total a reader pays depends on which custodian the account is opened with.

American Hartford Gold against other dealers

Each comparison below totals both companies over 10 years at four transfer sizes and says which costs less, which is a different question from what either charges on its own. Pairs where the two land within 10% of each other are not published, because a page that cannot reach a conclusion is not worth the reader's time.

What we have not checked

This page covers cost. We have not yet compiled the regulator and court record, the complaint history, or the buyback terms for American Hartford Gold, so none of those sections appear rather than appearing empty.

Everything here is editorial assessment built from published documents, not consumer testimony, and there are no customer ratings on this site because we have no customers.
