OPRS may receive compensation when readers open an account through partner links on this page. Our analysis is based on independent research, BBB data, and IRS publications.
- Status: Active and trading. The Rosland Capital homepage was live at the time of review, with a toll-free lead form and an active retail catalog.
- Business type: Los Angeles retail dealer in gold, silver, platinum, and licensed premium coins (PGA Tour, Formula 1, British Museum series). Not a bank, not a registered investment adviser, not a broker-dealer.
- Verified regulatory record: A full-text search of SEC EDGAR for “Rosland Capital” returned zero filings by the firm itself as of August 2026. No live CFTC enforcement release naming Rosland Capital surfaced during the OPRS review.
- Marketing style: Heavy reliance on the licensed premium coin catalog and the William Devane television spokesperson campaign. Both are sales tools, not due-diligence signals.
- Public transparency gap: Setup fee, annual custodian fee, storage fee, minimum IRA size, and the buy-back price formula are not published on the Rosland Capital public site. A prospect has to book a call to get quote data.
- Our stance: Not on the OPRS shortlist. 3 of 27+ gold IRA dealers reviewed by OPRS make the 2026 trusted list. Rosland Capital is not one of them, primarily because of the premium coin markup exposure and the missing fee schedule.
Who is Rosland Capital?
Rosland Capital is a Los Angeles-based precious metals retailer that sells physical gold, silver, and platinum, and helps clients open self-directed precious metals IRAs. The firm was founded in the mid-2000s by Marin Aleksov. It markets nationally to United States retirement savers and coin collectors.
The gold IRA mechanics are standard for the sector. A prospect requests a free info kit, an account executive calls back, a rollover from a 401(k) or an existing IRA is arranged, an IRS-approved custodian holds the paperwork, and the metals ship to an IRS-approved depository. The underlying rules are set by IRS Publication 590-A and 26 U.S.C. section 408, both linked at the bottom of this page.
What is less standard is the product catalog. Rosland Capital licenses branded coin series from the PGA Tour, Formula 1, and the British Museum, and sells those alongside standard bullion products. Branded and numismatic coins carry higher retail markups than plain bullion, which is the single largest reason a buyer needs to see the full price schedule before signing.
What we could verify from primary sources
Zero-invention rule. Every claim below was pulled directly from the named primary source and cross-checked before this page was written. If a document could not be reached live, the claim is not made.
- The company is still trading in 2026. The Rosland Capital homepage returned a normal HTTP 200 response at the time of review, with an active retail catalog, a lead-capture form, and a printed toll-free number (1-844-754-1349).
- Founder and leadership. Marin Aleksov is publicly listed as founder and chairman on the Rosland Capital site. This is factual, not an endorsement.
- Public spokesperson. William Devane is the long-standing television spokesperson, presented on the site as a client. Paid spokesperson relationships are marketing spend, not a due-diligence signal.
- Licensed premium coin catalog. The homepage prominently features PGA Tour, Formula 1, British Museum, and Lady Liberty coin series alongside standard American Eagle bullion. Licensed and specialty coins are sold at higher markups than common bullion.
- SEC EDGAR. A full-text search of the SEC’s EDGAR filings database for “Rosland Capital” as of August 2026 returned zero filings by the firm itself. Rosland Capital is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer. That status is normal for a metals retailer, but worth naming for buyers who expect the fiduciary layer they get with securities.
- CFTC public releases. No live CFTC press release naming Rosland Capital surfaced during the OPRS check of the CFTC enforcement archive. Absence of a public federal action is not an endorsement. It is the current record.
- 2025 and 2026 IRA rules. The 2025 IRA contribution ceiling of $7,000 (or $8,000 for savers 50 and older) matches the IRS. The RMD starting age of 73 is set by SECURE 2.0, and Rosland’s public education pages should reflect it.
Where transparency is thin
These are the numbers a serious buyer needs before signing, and none of them are published on the public Rosland Capital site as of this review:
- Setup fee. Not published.
- Annual custodian and storage fees, and whether the schedule is flat or scaled with account value. Not published.
- Minimum IRA investment. Not published. Legacy third-party summaries have circulated figures in the $5,000 to $10,000 range, but OPRS does not repeat unverified numbers as fact. Ask the firm directly and get it in writing.
- Buy-to-sell spread on individual products, between the retail buy price and the wholesale spot price. Not published. This matters most for the licensed premium coin lines, where the spread is typically larger than on bullion.
- Named buy-back price schedule. Rosland markets a buy-back option, but does not publish the price formula. A vague pledge to buy back is not the same as a documented price rule.
Missing fee data is common across the metals-IRA industry. It is still a friction point. A dealer who prints setup, annual, storage, and product markup on the public site is easier to compare than one who withholds them until the sales call. Fee opacity is a scored line item in our custodian-selection framework.
The larger issue with Rosland Capital is not the fee schedule. It is the product mix. A gold IRA can only hold IRS-approved bullion coins and bars that meet the purity standards defined in 26 U.S.C. section 408(m). Many collectible and numismatic coins do not qualify.
Rosland Capital’s public catalog blends IRA-eligible bullion (American Eagles, American Buffalos) with licensed and specialty premium coins (Formula 1, PGA Tour, British Museum, and exclusive proofs). A retail catalog is free to sell both. The risk for a retirement buyer is that a persuasive sales call can steer a rollover toward higher-margin premium coins the buyer believes are IRA-eligible, when the actual IRS rules are narrower.
Before you accept any product recommendation, confirm the coin appears on the IRS-eligible list under section 408(m) and match the mint, purity, and weight in writing. A written product schedule with prices per unit is not optional. It is the baseline. If a dealer will not put it in writing, walk away.
Third-party ratings we could verify
Third-party rating platforms move fast. A star count that was valid last month can be different this week. Every figure below is anchored to a snapshot with a date, not a live claim.
- Better Business Bureau. The BBB serves its business profiles through a bot-mitigation layer, so OPRS was not able to render the live rating page from a server at the time of writing. A BBB search link is in the sources list at the bottom of this page. Open the current profile in a browser and confirm the letter grade and the recent complaint count for yourself before you rely on it.
- Consumer complaint databases. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau public complaint database is searchable by company name. State attorneys general also maintain complaint portals. A buyer who wants to check a specific state should search that state’s AG portal directly.
- Litigation record. A private-litigation record for a company this age will move over time. Buyers who want a documentary check should search CourtListener directly, and cross-check any state or federal action by full case citation on the court’s own site.
Nothing in the above amounts to a public regulator finding of fault against Rosland Capital. It is a factual snapshot of what a reader can and cannot verify from primary sources on the date of review.
How to pressure-test Rosland Capital, or any gold IRA dealer
The same short checklist applies to every retailer, not just this one. Our full decision framework lives at how to choose a gold IRA custodian framework.
- Ask for the total first-year cost in dollars, on a $50,000 rollover, including setup, annual custodian, storage, and any product markup. Get it in writing.
- Ask for the named IRS-approved custodian by name, and confirm the entity appears on the IRS list of qualified nonbank trustees under 26 CFR 1.408-2(e).
- Ask for the named depository vault and whether storage is commingled or segregated. Segregated is safer, and it costs more.
- Ask for the exact coin, mint, purity, and weight on every product quoted. Confirm each entry against the IRS-eligible metals rules in 26 U.S.C. section 408(m).
- For every premium or licensed coin proposed, request the wholesale spot price of the same weight of plain bullion on the same day. The gap is the markup you are paying.
- Ask for the buy-back policy in writing. What exact price formula will the dealer pay for the same coins if you liquidate in 12 months? A vague pledge is not a policy.
- Treat any celebrity spokesperson or sports licensing as marketing spend, not proof of quality.
Investors who feel they were mis-sold have specific recourse steps documented at what to do if you were scammed by a gold IRA dealer. Coached sales scripts and high-pressure premium coin upsells are two of the pattern signals we flag on the gold IRA dealers to avoid list.
Where Rosland Capital sits on the OPRS list
Not on the shortlist. Rosland Capital is a functioning Los Angeles retailer with a long trading history and a nationally recognized spokesperson. It is also opaque on fees, opaque on the account minimum, and opaque on the buy-back price formula.
On top of that, it foregrounds a licensed premium coin catalog that raises the risk of high-markup product recommendations inside a retirement rollover. Those factors push it below the three names that do make our 2026 trusted list. Only 3 of 27+ gold IRA dealers reviewed by OPRS pass the full checklist.
If Rosland Capital publishes a full public fee schedule, a per-product markup table, and a documented buy-back price formula in a future update, that ranking is worth revisiting. This page will be refreshed if that happens.
FAQ
Is Rosland Capital a scam?
No public federal regulator has labeled Rosland Capital a scam at the time of writing. SEC EDGAR returned no filings by the firm itself. No live CFTC press release naming Rosland Capital surfaced during the OPRS check.
Absence of a public federal action is not an endorsement. It is the current documentary record. Individual consumer complaints and past state or civil disputes should be checked directly on the BBB profile and on court and AG databases before a buyer commits.
Is Rosland Capital still in business in 2026?
Yes. The Rosland Capital website was live at the time of review, product pages responded normally, and the toll-free lead form was active.
Who owns Rosland Capital?
Marin Aleksov is publicly listed as founder and chairman on the Rosland Capital site. Ownership beyond that public disclosure is not published in a form OPRS could verify from a primary source.
What does Rosland Capital sell?
Physical gold, silver, and platinum in bullion and coin form, plus licensed premium coin series from partners such as the PGA Tour, Formula 1, and the British Museum. Only coins and bars that meet IRS purity rules under 26 U.S.C. section 408(m) can go inside a gold IRA.
What is the Rosland Capital minimum IRA investment?
Not published on the Rosland Capital public site as of this review. Legacy third-party summaries have circulated figures in the $5,000 to $10,000 range, but OPRS does not repeat unverified numbers as fact. Ask Rosland directly and get the current minimum in writing.
Does Rosland Capital publish its fees?
No. Setup, annual custodian, storage, product markup, and the buy-back price formula are not published on the public site. A prospect has to book a call to receive that data. Fee opacity is the single most tractable reason Rosland is not on the OPRS shortlist.
Is a Formula 1 or PGA Tour coin allowed inside a gold IRA?
Only if the specific coin meets the IRS purity and weight standards for IRA-eligible bullion under 26 U.S.C. section 408(m). Licensed and branded designs do not automatically qualify. Confirm the exact coin against the IRS rule and match mint, purity, and weight in writing before you accept any product recommendation inside a retirement account.
Where does OPRS rank Rosland Capital?
Not on the shortlist. 3 of 27+ gold IRA dealers reviewed by OPRS make the 2026 trusted list. The full list lives at gold IRA dealers to avoid.
