Helpful Reviews
Gold and other precious metal IRAs are an investment and carry risk. Consumers should be alert to claims that customers can make a lot of money in these or any investment with little risk. As with any investment, you can lose money and past performance is not a guarantee of future performance results. Consumers should also obtain a clear understanding of the fees associated with any investment before agreeing to invest.

This is an excellent company where the staff takes the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring that you understand the entire process. They work diligently on your behalf and exhibit great patience throughout. They are willing to invest as much time as you need to help you decide whether or not to make a purchase, and they guide you hand-in-hand every step of the way.
I had the pleasure of working with Ray ** and Carly **, who assisted me in completing all the necessary steps. Ray provided valuable advice, while Carly facilitated the transfer of funds needed to move forward. They even worked extra hard on a Friday evening to complete the purchases when the market was in a great place for me! I highly recommend this company and their dedicated team.

My next call is to whatever Gov agency regulates these people. My "Rep" recommended I immediately free-up $45k and move into Silver Rounds at $96/coin (because "Silver is going to $400/oz"). I was hustled over to the "Trade Desk," who pumped NO brakes, allowing me to sell $45k worth of what I had and buy Silver Rounds at $96/coin. I check the next morning. Silver Rounds MIGHT have been worth $79/coin on the day my Rep had me buy them at $96/coin.
I called the next morning to ask what the ... just happened to me. Rep mush-mouthed something about retirement grade rounds versus rounds you buy on Apmex and there must be something wrong with the value being reported my account page. All I know is I lost $20k of value in one shot. YES - BAD ON ME - I authorized everything and did their recording to seal my own fate -- I should've stopped everything and done my own research. Sounds silly now - but I sincerely thought the "Rep" was here to HELP me because I don't have time or experience to master all this stuff myself. It never occurred to me that any duly-authorized "Rep" even COULD counsel me to make such an obvious error.
I'm too dumb with this stuff to even have a coherent suspicion if they were running some game on me -- all I know is whoever is having this machine sell their $79 coins for $96-per has a GREAT thing going! As dumb as I may be, this review process is about how well taken care of I FEEL about now. What I've laid out above should just about do it. When your "Rep" calls to recommend moves you should make right now, hang up.

I’ve had a really great experience working with Dane at Advantage Gold. He took the time to walk me through everything and made sure I actually understood what was going on in the precious metals market—not just trying to sell me something. What I appreciated most is that he really worked with me one-on-one to build a portfolio that makes sense for where things are headed, especially with all the volatility right now. He explained the “why” behind everything, which gave me a lot more confidence in my decisions. He’s super responsive, easy to talk to, and never pushy. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping you get it right and positioning your investments for growth over time. If you’re thinking about getting into gold or silver, I’d definitely recommend reaching out to Dane.

During a very busy buying time of year, he took care to find us the purchase we needed. He looked at what was available and found the best coins for our IRA. His experience made him easy to work with.

Richard and Jeremy are some of the best, if not the BEST people I’ve ever worked with. I would never buy precious metals from anywhere, or anyone else. Super professional, super friendly, and a super easy seamless process. This is actually my second time working with Richard and Jeremy, I worked with them and bought gold a few months ago, and thought they were so great and so amazing that I had to do it again. I have been so happy and in love with my purchase, I came back and bought 4x as much. I didn’t know a ton about buying precious metals before this experience, and Jeremy and Richard were great about explaining everything to me and helping me get a better personal understanding about what it is I wanted, and long term goals with these investments. I could go on and on, but you get the point. Thank you Jeremy and Richard, ya’ll are the best! 10/10!!

This was my third purchase with Advantage Gold. Despite the hectic nature of end of the year IRA RMD sales for other clients in precious metals, Richard ** rapidly returned my call. He fully understood my requirements for my IRA purchase and promptly was able to source the desired metals. On a follow up call from Richard shortly thereafter, he ensured I understood the quality and quantity of the types of metals and completed the order expeditiously. Richard was thorough, courteous, and professional throughout the transaction.
