Payments may be made by wire transfer, personal check, cashier’s check or money order or locally with cash. Sorry no credit cards due to fraudulent use of cards and the excessive fees associated with processing. All checks (personal,cashier,money order) take five to ten business days to clear.

Once the product is received and re-certified a check will be issued.

I understand a customer’s apprehension in placing a trade online. There is however a mutual trust to trade. I am placing a trade for you, the customer, at an agreed upon price. Likewise I trust that you will send your payment. If you neglect to send your payment I am still required to complete the transaction with my supplier at my expense. Any trade not completed by a customer will result in suspension of future trading privileges. I only accept trades shipped to a U.S. address. I am unable to complete foreign trades including Canada. Customs are simply impossible to deal with.
I am a precious metals broker, just like a stock broker, except I deliver the physical metal to you and don’t sell just paper with no physical backing. I buy for you through one of the world’s largest distributors and charge a mere 1% commission for my services.

I do not believe in paper stocks, paper fiat currencies or numismatics. Paper fiat money is just that paper and the knowledge required to purchase and sell numismatic coins is not something the average individual can learn or access easily. If you want a rare coin don’t call me, I would suggest that you reconsider your decision. Numismatic dealers and coin shops buy wholesale and re-sell retail usually at 30% – 50% markup!
I am able to place precious metals in an IRA account for you if you wish. I can suggest several Custodial /Trust companies as your holding company when transferring your funds to physical metals. I also can also turn your silver and gold contract bullion bars into smaller sizes for you to personally hold at the 1% fee. Beware of brokerage houses that store your metals in their own depositories. I recommend that you never use such a brokerage and I can explain why! You want separate entities handing each process; your initial fund holder of your I.R.A. or 401k, a separate trust/custodian company, a separate broker to place your order, a separate metals company guaranteeing delivery and a separate depository. After your funds are transferred to the trust company they then, with your permission, allow me to act as your broker. When you like SPOT price you call me and select the metals you want to hold or sell during retirement. Be sure to consider your end purpose, are you purchasing and plan to hold those metals in your personal possession (don’t ever buy large bullion and then have to resell it get smaller bullion or coins that you have to again pay commissions and sale charges for) or are you planning to sell it outright for your profits one day. Some of each may be a possible fit for some holders. I then place your trade and the metals company ships your metals to the private depository. Only after your metals are deposited at the depository does the trust company release your funds for payment. Then the metals facility is paid and myself, your broker is released the 1% fee for your trade. Their are many most reputable depositories here in the U.S. and are private depositories such as Texas Depository and Texas Precious Metals Depository, and International Depository Service in Texas as well as the eastern depositories of Delaware Depository Services, International Depository Services, and Diamond Depository in Wilmington, Delaware and the International Depository Services of Canada in Toronto.
Call me to discuss some ideas you may not have considered when moving your IRA or 401k. I have had customers utilize carry back losses to avoid taxation and even customers whom decided to simply cash in their retirement plans with the expectation that metals value would rise and taxes would only increase! Remember you always were going to have to pay your taxes on your savings either when you earned it or deferred until retirement when you receive it. Remember the amount that will be withheld was never your money to begin with; it was the government’s tax money you deferred. You just were able to receive interest on that money all these years and the taxes will be paid then, now or latter in your retirement. Expect governments to make their own rules concerning where your retirement funds will be invested in the future, such as government treasury bonds since no other country is buying treasuries these days nor any day in the future!
When you are taking your Required Minimum Distributions in retirement many people wait till the end of the year for distributions to increase earnings for the year with paper investments. However with metals that is not the correct rational. If you need funds sell when you need funds however if you intend to hold the actual metals after you retire place your SELL R.M.D. when the price of metals SPOT price is low, That way you are able to take more metals out of your IRA to hold for sale at a later time.
