Is anyone else using gold rounds to recession-proof their IRA?

I've been seeing a lot of chatter lately on other subreddits about the economy, and honestly, it's making me a little antsy. My husband and I have worked so hard on our farm here in Kansas City, and with all the unpredictable stuff happening globally, I just feel like we need to be extra smart about our retirement. We've got a decent IRA, probably in the $75k range right now, and for a few years, I've been slowly moving some of it into precious metals through a Gold IRA.
My philosophy has always been about tangible wealth. Call me old-fashioned, but owning something you can actually hold feels a whole lot more secure than some numbers on a screen, especially when things get rocky. That's why I've been focusing on gold rounds for my Gold IRA. They feel more "real" to me than bars, and honestly, the premiums seem a bit more reasonable than coins with numismatic value. I like knowing that what I'm getting is primarily valued for its actual metal content.
I'm curious if anyone else here is doing something similar? Have you found gold rounds to be a good choice for your portfolio? I'm always looking for different perspectives. What percentage of your IRA have you allocated to precious metals, and specifically to rounds versus other forms? And for those of you who have been through a recession with a Gold IRA, did you feel more secure knowing you had that physical hedge?
It's just that feeling of having something solid, you know? Like putting away a good harvest for winter. I'm hoping that by having a decent chunk of my IRA in gold rounds, it'll help us weather any financial storms that come our way without losing everything we've built. Thoughts?
