Rollover to Gold IRA: What should I use for a smaller amount (~$50k)?

• •Okay, so I've been seeing a lot of talk here about rolling over 401ks and IRAs into precious metals, particularly gold.
• •I just wrapped up an old 401k from a previous hospital that I need to roll over, and it's about $50k.
• •My current employer's 401k is performing well, so I'm not touching that, but this $50k is just sitting there.

Okay, so I've been seeing a lot of talk here about rolling over 401ks and IRAs into precious metals, particularly gold. I'm a doctor in Boston, mid-career, and personally, I've got a decent chunk of my portfolio (somewhere north of $750k total) in diversified assets, with a small percentage already in physical gold I bought directly. I just wrapped up an old 401k from a previous hospital that I need to roll over, and it's about $50k. My current employer's 401k is performing well, so I'm not touching that, but this $50k is just sitting there.

I'm contemplating putting this $50k into a Gold IRA. I like the idea of further diversifying and having that hedge against inflation, especially with all the economic uncertainty floating around. For those of you who have done smaller rollovers into a Gold IRA, what companies did you use? Are there any that are particularly good for these "smaller" amounts without hitting you with crazy fees? I’m talking about something that won't totally eat into the principal with setup costs, storage, etc.

I've done some preliminary research, but a lot of the companies seem to cater to much larger rollovers, and it's hard to tell if the fee structure makes sense for $50k. I’m thinking about either GSC or Augusta Precious Metals, but I'm definitely open to other suggestions. It's a significant chunk of change for me, even though it's a smaller piece of my overall portfolio, and I want to make sure I'm making a smart move here. Any insights or personal experiences would be super helpful.

I was also checking out some resources like the Learning Center at https://learn.goldirablueprint.com/?forum which has been pretty informative about the whole process, but hearing from real people who've actually done it is invaluable. Thanks in advance!
