Platinum IRA rebalancing - is this a good move for my portfolio?

Okay, so I’ve been looking at my portfolio over the last couple of weeks, and with the way the market's been acting, I’m seriously considering rebalancing. I opened my Platinum IRA about 9 months ago after a buddy in the industry here in Nashville convinced me it was a smart play. Best decision I made honestly, especially seeing how tech stocks have taken a beating. I put in about $75k then, mostly spread across some platinum bullion and a few specific platinum coins I researched heavily.
Here’s the deal: that $75k has done pretty darn well, and I'm sitting at around $88k right now. I’m thinking about selling off about $10k of the bullion and reinvesting that into some of the more niche platinum coins. The ones I’ve been eyeing have a track record of appreciating a bit faster when the market is volatile, and honestly, the thought of diversifying a bit more within platinum itself instead of just holding a chunk of bullion feels right. I’m also a big believer in getting quality info, and the Learning Center at Gold IRA Blueprint has been a lifesaver for understanding the nuances of different precious metals, not just gold. They have some really good info on platinum specifically.
My main concern is, am I getting too cute here? Rebalancing almost a year in, but less than a year after opening, feels a little… impatient? Or is it strategic given the current economic climate? I've never been super aggressive with investments, always more of a slow-and-steady guy, which is why a precious metals IRA appealed to me in the first place.
Anyone here with more experience rebalancing their Platinum IRA come across something similar? What are your thoughts on shifting from bullion to more collectible coins within the same precious metal? Is there anything I should be aware of regarding potential fees or tax implications for this internal rebalancing? I’m here for the long haul, but want to make sure I’m making smart moves along the way.
