Most Often Asked Questions About Bullion



Q: Why do you limit credit card acquisitions?
A: Unfortunately, Gold and Silver web-sites are common targets for fraud because coins can be converted into cash quickly. In order to limit our exposure to fraud, and protect our clientele from identity theft, we reserve the right to limit the size of credit card transactions. This allows us to facilitate convenient and safe ordering for new clients and smaller orders too while creating a high level of protection from fraud.

Q: I want to spend more than $5,000. What’s the procedure?
A: Please call us at 1-800-668-8771 and ask to talk with one our Specialists about cash and quantity discounts. We’re here to educate, advise, and guide you throughout the acquisition process. We’ll review how to make an acquisition with a bank wire or personal check and discuss your discounted price. The process is actually quite effortless; call us for guidance.

Q: Why is there a difference between gold prices I see on-line or in the newspaper and those on various web-sites?
A: What you’re seeing is known as the Spot Price. It is most applicable today to futures and options, which are sophisticated and risky digital markets where one trades contracts (paper) instead of physical gold. It’s essentially impossible for the private physical gold investor to buy at spot price because that entails buying wholesale in 1,000 ounce gold bars for London delivery. Governments and Mints may negotiate deals near spot price for physical gold, but they're buying massive amounts of gold in the form of bars that often weigh several hundred ounces each; not a very feasible option for the private investor.

At the Mints, these massive bars must be melted, refined, cast into planchets and finally struck into coins before they are fit for the open market. The cost involved in this process represents the large majority of the difference between spot price and the price that a recognized, liquid coin or bar trades for in the open physical market. This extra cost the price one must pay to own gold in a small size coin that will be easy for you to buy today and sell later.

Q: Should I be concerned with seeing bullion being offered far lower than on your site?
A: Yes. There’s almost always a reason for large price discrepancies. There are a lot of reputable honest gold dealers. Unfortunately, as in any industry, there are also disreputable firms with dishonest offers. These firms often display a coin at a low price, but when you actually make the trade they add several types of ridiculous fees and excessive shipping. You may be looking at a “loss-leader” product. You may also be comparing the low price of a cash-only dealer to our on-line credit card price. In any case, call us. There’s always an explanation and we’ll provide it or do our best to meet or beat any legit price.
