What types of transactions are treated as a "disqualified transaction"?
Under Internal Revenue Code Section 408, the acquisition by an IRA
or an individually-directed account under a qualified retirement plan
of any collectible is treated as a distribution from the IRA or account
in an amount equal to the cost to the IRA or account of the collectible

metal or gem, stamp or coin, alcoholic beverage, or any other tangible
personal property specified by IRS for this purpose (Code Sec. 408(m)(2)).
