Short on time? The essentials
- Midas Gold Group LLC (BBB business ID 1126-1000057702) does not print a dollar figure for the account minimum, one-time setup fee, annual custodian fee, annual storage fee, dealer premium, or wire fee on any current or archived Midas Gold Group page (source: audit of midasgoldgroup.com pages via Wayback Machine captures dated November 17, 2025, February 16, 2026, and May 18, 2026, checked August 2026).
- The only fee-related article on midasgoldgroup.com sits at the URL path /gold-ira-fees/, is dated October 11, 2025 in its own schema, and prints generic industry-typical ranges only (per an archived snapshot of the Midas Gold Group fees page, checked August 2026).
- The BBB letter grade is A+, and the profile shows Not BBB Accredited. Aggregate customer reviews are 2.09 out of 5 across 11 reviews. One complaint has been closed in the past 3 years, and zero in the past 12 months. The BBB file was opened December 17, 2018 (source: BBB profile 1126-1000057702, Wayback Machine capture of the customer reviews subpage dated November 18, 2025, checked August 2026). The live BBB page returned a bot-verification challenge on August 6, 2026 and could not be re-verified today.
- No self-directed IRA custodian is named as a Midas Gold Group partner on any captured page. The fees article mentions STRATA, Equity Trust, and Kingdom Trust only as generic industry examples (per an archived snapshot of the Midas Gold Group fees page, checked August 2026).
- No depository is named as a Midas Gold Group partner on any captured page. Delaware Depository and Brink's are cited only as generic industry examples on the same fees article (same source).
- The state-run Texas Bullion Depository in Leander is not referenced on any current or archived Midas Gold Group page. A Texas reader who wants in-state storage at that facility must confirm the arrangement in writing before funding (source: texasbulliondepository.gov, checked August 2026).
- Texas has no state personal income tax under the Texas Constitution, so a qualified distribution from a precious metals IRA held by a Texas resident is federally taxed only, with no state layer (source: comptroller.texas.gov, checked August 2026). Fee drag inside the account is therefore the main friction, not a state layer.

This page walks through what a first-time visitor can see on the Midas Gold Group site about fees, what the site leaves blank, and what a Texas retirement saver should insist on in writing before authorizing a single wire. Every claim ties to a specific captured page dated November 2025, February 2026, May 2026, or August 2026, and the sources block at the bottom lists each one.

What Midas Gold Group publishes about fees
The only page on midasgoldgroup.com that speaks directly to fees is an educational article at the URL path /gold-ira-fees/, titled Understanding Gold IRA Fees: What Investors Need to Know. The article carries a publish date of October 11, 2025 in the site's own structured metadata.
The same table of ranges appears unchanged across Wayback Machine captures dated November 17, 2025, February 16, 2026, and May 18, 2026. All three captures were re-checked in August 2026 against the current live version.
That article does two things. It defines fee categories in plain language (setup, annual custodian, annual storage in commingled or segregated form, wire, transaction, early withdrawal). It then prints an industry-typical dollar range for each category, presented as a shared sector reference rather than as a Midas price list.
The article also names three unrelated competitors and attaches account minimums to them in the roughly 10,000 to 50,000 dollar band. Those figures are attached to those competitors, not to Midas Gold Group. The Midas Gold Group name never appears in the same sentence as a Midas dollar figure on that page.
The rest of the site follows the same pattern. The current homepage and interior pages describe research and education services and route visitors through comparison content rather than through a product order form.
No fee schedule, no account minimum, and no coin catalog with published premiums appear on any 2025 or 2026 captured page. That verdict is based on an archived snapshot of the Midas Gold Group homepage, Wayback Machine capture dated June 7, 2026, checked August 2026.
What Midas Gold Group does not publish
The Midas Gold Group pages we captured on August 2026 do not print a specific dollar figure for any of the seven fee lines a retirement saver needs to compare across dealers.
The first is the account minimum. No current or archived Midas Gold Group page states a public dollar threshold to open a precious metals IRA. Competitor minimums are cited on the fees article, but no Midas minimum is stated anywhere.
The second is the one-time setup fee. No captured page prints a Midas Gold Group setup fee. The article's industry-typical range of 50 to 300 dollars is a sector reference, not a Midas price.
The third is the annual custodian fee. No self-directed IRA custodian is named as a Midas Gold Group partner. STRATA, Equity Trust, and Kingdom Trust are cited on the article only as generic examples of "trusted custodians." A Midas Gold Group customer has to ask which trustee will actually hold their account.
The fourth and fifth are the annual storage fees for commingled and for segregated storage. No depository is named as a Midas Gold Group partner. Delaware Depository and Brink's are cited on the same article as generic sector examples.
The sixth is the dealer premium over spot on standard IRA-eligible bullion. No coin-by-coin price list appears on any current or archived Midas Gold Group page. The buy-side spread on a real order is quoted verbally on the phone.
The seventh is the wire or transfer fee. No captured Midas Gold Group page states this line either. The article's industry range of 25 to 75 dollars is again a sector reference, not a Midas rate.
The industry-range table on the Midas fees article
Per an archived snapshot of the Midas Gold Group fees page, checked via the Wayback Machine on August 6, 2026, the article's table lists these generic industry-typical ranges, not Midas Gold Group's own prices. We reproduce them here because they are the only fee-line numbers a visitor to the Midas site will see.
| Fee type (as labelled on the Midas article) | Typical dollar range printed | Notes column printed on the article |
|---|---|---|
| Account Setup | 50 to 300 dollars | One-time setup fee to open account |
| Annual Administration | 75 to 300 dollars | Covers custodian reporting and IRS filings |
| Storage (Non-segregated) | 100 to 150 dollars | Shared vault section with full insurance |
| Storage (Segregated) | 150 to 250 dollars | Private compartment for specific holdings |
| Wire / Transfer | 25 to 75 dollars | Fee per outgoing or incoming transfer |
| Transaction (Buy/Sell) | 1 percent to 3 percent spread | Markup or markdown on metal trades |
| Early Withdrawal (IRS) | 10 percent before age 59 1/2 | Federal penalty for early distributions |
Ranges reproduced from the Midas Gold Group article Understanding Gold IRA Fees: What Investors Need to Know, at the URL path /gold-ira-fees/ on midasgoldgroup.com. The article carries a schema publish date of October 11, 2025 and was unchanged across Wayback Machine captures dated November 17, 2025, February 16, 2026, and May 18, 2026. These are sector reference ranges, not Midas Gold Group prices. Do not treat any figure here as a quote from Midas Gold Group for your own account.
Two useful facts follow from this table. First, its ranges match what our own gold IRA fees explained anchor page reports for the sector floor and ceiling. So the article is not misleading on the industry math. Second, a Midas Gold Group buyer still has no idea where inside that range their own quote will land, because no Midas-specific number appears next to any row.
Who charges what: the dealer, the custodian, the depository
A self-directed precious metals IRA involves three distinct parties, each with a separate fee schedule. Under Internal Revenue Code 408(a)(2), the account must be administered by a bank, an insured credit union, an IRS-approved non-bank trustee, or a savings and loan (source: irs.gov Publication 590-A, checked August 2026).
Midas Gold Group is the dealer. Historically the site marketed itself as a direct dealer of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and rhodium, and the current site positions the same domain as a research and education service that evaluates other dealers. Either way, a Midas relationship is a dealer relationship. The main line a dealer controls is the buy-side spread on the coins and bars quoted to a customer.
The self-directed IRA custodian is a separate entity. It opens the tax-advantaged account, holds legal title, files the annual reports with the IRS, and charges a setup fee, an annual maintenance fee, and per-transaction fees. Midas Gold Group does not publish which custodian a new customer will be routed to, and does not link a trustee fee schedule from any captured page.
The depository is a third party. It receives the physical metal from the dealer, stores it in an insured vault, and charges an annual storage fee that varies with segregated versus commingled treatment. Midas Gold Group does not publish which depository will hold a new customer's metal, and does not link a storage rate card from any captured page.
That three-party structure is standard across the sector. What is unusual on the Midas Gold Group site in 2026 is that none of the three fee schedules is disclosed by name, and no partner brand is named alongside a rate a customer can compare in advance.
The BBB record, verbatim from the captured profile
The Better Business Bureau profile for Midas Gold Group is business ID 1126-1000057702, filed under Gold Buyers in Phoenix, Arizona. The live BBB page returned a Cloudflare bot-verification challenge on August 6, 2026 and could not be re-verified today.
All figures below come from a Wayback Machine capture of the profile dated June 24, 2025 for the header record. A separate capture of the customer reviews subpage dated November 18, 2025 supplied the reviews aggregate. The two captures agree on every shared metric.
The BBB letter grade is A+. The accreditation status is Not BBB Accredited. The customer reviews aggregate is 2.09 out of 5 stars across 11 reviews. Complaint volume on file is 1 in total, with 1 closed in the past 3 years and 0 closed in the past 12 months.
The BBB file was opened December 17, 2018. The business start date and business incorporation date both read July 15, 2010, giving 14 years in business as of the June 2025 capture. The entity type is Limited Liability Company.
The headquarters address on file is 625 W Deer Valley Rd, Suite 109, Phoenix, AZ 85027-2140. A second office is listed at 100 E Thousand Oaks Blvd, Suite 157, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360-8104. Named business management on the profile reads Mr. James D Clark, Senior Vice President, Mr. Gabor Panczel, Senior Vice President, and Mr. Kenneth Russo, Vice President.
Read the BBB record the way it is written. The A+ letter grade is a BBB-computed score based on the complaint history and business practice fields. The 2.09 out of 5 aggregate on the customer reviews page is a separate, user-reported measure that BBB does not verify individually. Both numbers are useful, but they answer different questions.
The 2022 to 2026 site pivot, and why it matters for a fee comparison
In January 2022, midasgoldgroup.com marketed itself as a direct dealer of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and rhodium. The ownership narrative described a second-generation family business and used a veteran-owned framing. Source: Wayback Machine capture of midasgoldgroup.com dated January 2022, cited in the existing Harry's Coins Midas Gold Group review draft.
By 2026, that direct-dealer framing has been removed. The current homepage describes research and education services and routes visitors to comparison content on other dealers. Source: Wayback Machine capture of midasgoldgroup.com dated June 7, 2026, checked August 2026.
Several BBB customer reviews dated July and August 2024 reference a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by Midas Gold Group in the summer of 2024. Two dated review excerpts we captured are attributed to Matthew G on August 10, 2024 and to Tim R on August 23, 2024.
Source: BBB profile 1126-1000057702 customer reviews subpage, Wayback Machine capture dated November 18, 2025, checked August 2026. Those are consumer-side statements. We have no court docket citation in hand and do not restate the filing as a company-verified fact.
For a fee comparison, the pivot matters because a research or referral positioning does not require the site to publish its own dealer fee schedule. But a retirement saver who takes an IRA action through a Midas Gold Group flow will still transact with a specific dealer, custodian, and depository. Those three parties will each send an invoice.
A Midas Gold Group visitor should insist on knowing all three names, and the associated dollar rates, in writing before any funding wire moves.
Dealer spread, the fee no dealer prints
The dealer spread is the largest fee line for most first-year buyers, and it is not published on any Midas Gold Group page we captured on August 2026. That absence is consistent with the rest of the precious metals sector: dealer spreads are almost never posted publicly, because they move with the coin selection and the metal price.
A dealer spread of 5 percent on a 60,000 dollar coin purchase equals 3,000 dollars, or roughly 5 percent of the account, on day one. A dealer spread of 10 percent on the same purchase equals 6,000 dollars. The gap between a 5 percent spread and a 10 percent spread on a mid-sized rollover is often larger than three years of custodian plus storage fees combined.
Ask the Midas Gold Group specialist to email a coin-by-coin price sheet after any pricing call, listing the mark up over spot on each product. Save that sheet as a PDF alongside the trustee application before authorizing the wire. Verbal price quotes disappear. A dated PDF sits on file and lets you compare the same coins against a second dealer on level ground.
Texas readers and the fee arithmetic
Texas has no state personal income tax. That is anchored in the Texas Constitution and confirmed at the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (source: comptroller.texas.gov, checked August 2026). A qualified distribution from a Texas resident's precious metals IRA is federally taxed only, with no state layer. The federal rules under IRS Publication 590-B still apply.
The state-run Texas Bullion Depository in Leander is administered by the Texas Comptroller and operated by Lone Star Tangible Assets. Its public pages describe an IRA account process for individual customers, and it does not publish an approved-dealer roster (source: texasbulliondepository.gov, checked August 2026).
The captured Midas Gold Group pages do not name a Texas office, a Texas hire, or a Texas Bullion Depository partnership. A Texas reader who wants metal stored inside Texas at the state facility rather than at a private depository has to raise that arrangement directly with any Midas Gold Group specialist. The self-directed IRA trustee that actually opens the account must then confirm it in writing. Without a signed confirmation, the Texas storage assumption is speculative.
How to verify Midas Gold Group's real fee schedule before you fund
Because the public Midas Gold Group site does not print a dealer fee sheet, a custodian rate card, or a depository storage rate, a Texas reader has to force those numbers onto paper before any funds move. Use the sequence below.
- Request a written fee sheet on Midas Gold Group letterhead, listing the account minimum, the setup fee, the dealer spread policy, and any coin selection restriction on any promoted offer. Do not schedule a funding call before this document is in hand.
- Ask Midas Gold Group to name the self-directed IRA custodian by legal entity name in the same email. Confirm the entity name and request a link to its IRS non-bank trustee approval, in line with the categories listed in Internal Revenue Code 408 (source: irs.gov Publication 590-A, checked August 2026).
- Contact the named custodian directly and request the current trustee fee schedule as a PDF. Setup, annual maintenance, and transaction fees belong on that schedule, and those figures are set by the trustee, not by Midas Gold Group.
- Ask which depository will hold the physical metal, whether the account will be segregated or commingled, and what the annual storage fee will be in dollars per year for your expected balance. If the answer includes the Texas Bullion Depository in Leander, request the paperwork chain in writing.
- Choose direct trustee-to-trustee transfer for a 401(k) or IRA rollover, to avoid triggering the 60-day rule and the 20 percent mandatory withholding that apply to indirect rollovers (source: irs.gov Publication 590-A, checked August 2026).
- Hold the pricing call after funds land at the trustee. Ask for the dealer spread on each coin quoted, and require a coin-by-coin price sheet by email within one business day.
- Save the Midas Gold Group fee sheet, the trustee fee schedule, the depository storage confirmation, and the coin-by-coin price sheet as one bundled PDF. Ask the trustee for a quarterly statement and an annual holdings audit going forward.
Chart: disclosed dollar figures versus industry range
The chart below stacks five comparable fee lines and shows the industry-typical dollar range for each, drawn from our gold IRA fees explained anchor page. The Midas Gold Group column on every line reads not publicly disclosed and plots as zero on the log-scaled axis. That single view is the honest picture of the disclosure gap.
The fee-drag calculator below lets a reader test a stack of dealer spread, setup, custodian, and storage fees against a chosen balance. Because Midas Gold Group does not publish any of the underlying rates, use industry-typical values as your placeholder and update as soon as you have written rates in hand.
Texas gold IRAs charge mostly flat dollar fees (setup, annual custodian, storage). Flat fees take a much bigger bite out of a small account than a large one. Enter your numbers to see the drag. Estimate only. Fee amounts vary by provider and are often not published; enter figures you confirm in writing. This tool ignores metal price changes and the dealer spread, which also affect returns.

Table: the seven fee lines side by side
The table reproduces the seven fee lines a retirement saver must compare across dealers, with a status column for what Midas Gold Group publishes and a source column pointing back to the captured page.
| Fee line | Published on captured Midas Gold Group pages? | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Account minimum (dollars) | Not publicly disclosed | Ask Midas Gold Group in writing before the funding call |
| One-time setup fee (dollars) | Not publicly disclosed | Ask the trustee directly once named in writing |
| Annual custodian fee (dollars) | Not publicly disclosed | Trustee has to be named first, then request its retail fee schedule |
| Annual storage, commingled (dollars per year) | Not publicly disclosed | Depository has to be named first, then request its storage rate card |
| Annual storage, segregated (dollars per year) | Not publicly disclosed | Same as above; segregated tier usually adds 50 to 150 dollars per year to commingled per our fees anchor page |
| Dealer premium over spot (percent) | Not publicly disclosed | Coin-by-coin price sheet by email after the pricing call |
| Wire or transfer fee (dollars) | Not publicly disclosed | Ask the trustee once named; usually 25 to 75 dollars per wire industry-typical |

When a Midas Gold Group account is a bad fit
When this account structure is a poor match
A precious metals IRA is a poor fit when the account balance is small enough that fixed fees swamp returns. On a 15,000 dollar account, a combined custodian plus commingled storage burden of 375 dollars per year is a 2.5 percent yearly drag, before the first dealer spread. Any dealer that will not put an account minimum in writing is not a match for a saver who wants to keep annual fee drag below 1 percent of the balance.
It is a poor fit if the reader expects to withdraw within five years. Physical bullion is illiquid at exit, and depositories charge to release metal or to buy it back through the dealer at the prevailing spread.
It is a poor fit if a Texas reader specifically wants in-state storage at the Texas Bullion Depository in Leander from day one. Midas Gold Group does not name that facility as a partner on any captured page, and the Texas Bullion Depository itself does not publish an approved-dealer roster. That means a Texas-storage assumption is untested until a specific paperwork chain is confirmed in writing.
It is a poor fit if the reader will not or cannot ask for every dollar figure in writing before the wire. A verbal quote on a sales call is not equivalent to a countersigned PDF you can save with your other paperwork. If you are uncomfortable insisting on written rates, choose a dealer that publishes rates on its own site.
Frequently asked questions
Does Midas Gold Group publish its fees online?
No. Neither the current midasgoldgroup.com homepage nor its /gold-ira-fees/ article publishes an account minimum, a setup fee, an annual custodian fee, an annual storage fee, or a coin-by-coin dealer premium schedule for Midas Gold Group itself. The site's fee article prints generic industry-average ranges only, per an archived snapshot of the Midas Gold Group fees page, checked August 2026.
What is Midas Gold Group's BBB rating in 2026?
The BBB letter grade is A+, and the profile shows Not BBB Accredited. Aggregate customer reviews are 2.09 out of 5 across 11 customer reviews. Complaint volume on file is 1 in total, with 1 closed in the past 3 years and 0 in the past 12 months.
Business ID 1126-1000057702, BBB file opened December 17, 2018, per the Wayback Machine capture of the BBB customer reviews subpage dated November 18, 2025, checked August 2026. The live BBB page returned a bot-verification challenge on August 6, 2026 and could not be re-verified today.
What is the minimum to open an account with Midas Gold Group?
Not publicly disclosed as of August 2026. The Midas Gold Group fees article cites three unnamed competitor minimums in the roughly 10,000 to 50,000 dollar band but never states a Midas Gold Group minimum. Request the current dollar minimum by email on Midas Gold Group letterhead before scheduling a funding call.
Which custodian and depository does Midas Gold Group use?
Not publicly disclosed as a Midas-specific partnership on any captured page. STRATA, Equity Trust, and Kingdom Trust appear on the Midas fees article only as generic examples of trusted custodians. Delaware Depository and Brink's appear only as generic depository examples. A Texas reader has to ask by email which trustee and which depository will actually hold their account before authorizing a wire.
Does Midas Gold Group work with the Texas Bullion Depository in Leander?
No reference to the Texas Bullion Depository appears on any current or archived Midas Gold Group page. A Texas reader who wants in-state storage at the state facility in Leander has to raise the request directly with any Midas Gold Group specialist. The self-directed IRA trustee that actually opens the account must then confirm it in writing. Texas Bullion Depository operations are administered by the Texas Comptroller and do not publish an approved-dealer roster (source: texasbulliondepository.gov, checked August 2026).
Is Midas Gold Group still a direct dealer in 2026?
The current site presents itself in 2026 as a research and education service that evaluates other dealers, custodians, and depositories, per the Wayback Machine capture of midasgoldgroup.com dated June 7, 2026. A January 2022 Wayback capture of the same domain marketed itself as a direct dealer of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and rhodium.
Several BBB customer reviews dated July and August 2024 reference a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by Midas Gold Group in the summer of 2024. Two dated review excerpts are attributed on the customer reviews subpage to Matthew G on August 10, 2024 and to Tim R on August 23, 2024. Those are consumer-side statements, not a court docket in hand.
How does a Texas resident's tax situation change the Midas Gold Group math?
Texas has no state personal income tax under the Texas Constitution. A qualified distribution from a precious metals IRA held by a Texas resident is federally taxed only, with no state layer (source: comptroller.texas.gov, checked August 2026). The federal rules under IRS Publication 590-B still apply.
Fee drag inside the account is the main friction for a Texas resident, not a state tax layer. That places extra weight on the disclosed fee lines a reader should insist on before funding any account.
Does Harry's Coins receive a commission if I sign up with Midas Gold Group?
No. Harry's Coins has no affiliate relationship with Midas Gold Group. Nothing on this page routes to the Midas Gold Group site, and no link on this page pays us to send you toward Midas Gold Group. We publish this fee explainer as an editorial reference for retirement savers weighing Midas Gold Group against neutral criteria.
