    Buying precious metals is a good investment. We were investing with another gold company, and my husband heard about Goldco. We weren't thrilled with the other companies, so we tried Goldco, and our first experience with them was excellent. Our second experience was not as great, but it was still good. We weren't really pleased with the first company. It was difficult to get ahold of people, and we kept getting put in with different people. With Goldco, we liked it because we had one gentleman who was helping us. Then he retired, and the next guy wasn't quite as helpful. Other than that, the different team members at Goldco have been okay.

    The precious metals market seemed ready for another price spike and I happened to be able to invest so I called my agent at Goldco. to start the process. By the next day I received a FedEx envelope to mail my check. That’s how easy it is. Gold Co. took care of the rest. They explained what was available to buy over the phone and I made my choice. It’s easy as that with Gold Co..

    I had no physical gold and silver and I wanted to diversify and sell some. Goldco was one of the top, highly recommended companies, and I decided to go with them. So far, I've seen that they are. Everything went well with the purchase process. It was smooth. I worked with different people and they were all very accommodating. They did a nice job. People considering Goldco should give them a call. Talk to Mike or Fred or any of the guys. They're great and will help you figure out if it's right for you. If it is, they'll help you get the purchase done. If not, you looked into it. One thing that I had not gotten a clear picture of was when Goldco said I was purchasing at a higher price than the melt price. So, once I understood the difference between that, then it was a little clearer. But Goldco should talk about that upfront.

    One of my two daughters has been with Goldco for two years. She was telling me that they've done really great in the gold and silver market. I just came off a sale of my house and I wanted to put my money some place that would do some good and make a difference in some people's lives. I tried Goldco and the process was easy. Matter of fact, they were great compared to my State Farm office where I was having a hard time with them even doing anything. The money is taken from State Farm ‘cause I had all my investments through them. It almost seemed like State Farm didn't wanna give up the money. They were really hemming and hawing about doing it, so took a long time.

    Most of the time, I spoke with Galila at Goldco and she's been fantastic. She was great to get through for whatever issues there were and get them resolved. She's been a lot of help. My daughter already knew her from before, and so we already knew the person we wanted to contact. She's very personable. Goldco has to charge for the storage of the product but otherwise, they were great to deal with. They're very professional and they know what they're doing. It’s no doubt and no surprise that silver and gold are gonna be the way to go.

    I had a retirement account through work. We transferred that money into an IRA. We talked to our lady at the bank who handles money, and she helped facilitate getting the IRA started. Then Goldco sent us the emails. We printed them off, signed, took them to the lady at the bank. She said, “Yup.” It was pretty easy. We really didn't do much. A couple of phone calls. We talked to a few people from Goldco, and they sent us all the information, and we filled it out. It was pretty seamless. Goldco was very awesome. If they don't know something, they find out and call us back. They've been very easy to work with. We had a really great experience.

    Goldco would be a good way to preserve wealth and the people helping me set up the IRA stood out in my experience with them. I wanted to know how they valued the assets, being that they were collectible coins and not just bullion. I didn’t realize how they valued those.

    Goldco called me. I talked to them and they did good. I had an IRA and I transferred everything from the IRA into gold through Goldco. A gold IRA is a safer investment. Goldco sent me the papers, I signed the papers, and they pretty much took care of everything else. They're nice and good people to deal with. If I had any questions, they answered them.

    I heard about Goldco through a podcaster. I went with them, and so far, I haven't had any bad experiences. The purchasing experience was seamless. The account rep and I make the purchases together. Then somebody calls me to do a follow-up to confirm. Then once the metals are purchased and delivered, I get a confirming email saying they're in my account. The account manager I work with seems to be a very kind person, and very knowledgeable about what he's doing. And he's responsive, as well. Their website is fine too.

    I had been thinking and praying about investing in gold for a while. I remembered how my mom used to keep silver coins when I was little, and after hearing that the prices were going up, I thought maybe I should do it and that it would pay off in the future. The process with Goldco was simple. The rep took the time to explain things to make it easy for me to understand since I'm not up to speed on that type of stuff. He told me from the get-go about the investment amount and said he would check to see if he could get me the bonus they were offering for investing. He said he would call me back that day with an answer, and he did.

    It was a go, and I appreciated that the rep went above and beyond trying to get that for me. I wrote things down and asked questions. He sent me the information and said that after they received my check, I could decide how I wanted to invest. Overall, it was a positive experience and I would highly recommend Goldco.

    This is a company that operates within a position of public persona. They give the impression that they operate under the the highest level of integrity in the Precious Metals business. They are far from that. I have spent two years yes two years trying to get someone to explain to me why when I got ready to liquidate my account Goldco kept 75% of the profits. I call and will be left on hold. I call back and I'm transferred to another line and nobody picks up the phone. This last time which occurred in June of 2026 a lady told me it would be two to seven days before their customer care team could get me an explanation as to why they got to keep the lion's share of the profits of 40K of which they kept 30K. Yet they post of having a top-rated buy-back for the industry.

    I kept my gold there for three years and the results never lived up to what I was "promised" by their Representative. They said that he didn't speak for the company, he's no longer there. Looks like I am going to have to report this matter to California's Attorney General, the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation and Securities Board. They have made it very obvious that they believe they can treat customers this way and get away with it. They were sanctioned in January. I guess they didn't get the message. Endorsed by people like Mr. Hannity and the BBB. You look for companies like this to protect your investment not steal from you.

    I understand they're in the business to make money but this is like the Mafia. I was told I would at the very least double my money because of the eminent demise of the US dollar and I was suckered into it. At 68 years old on a very limited income 30K was a significant loss when you're talking about 40K total gained. I don't see any integrity or character there. I've been repeatedly lied to. You've been warned.

    I was retiring and was going to continue investing, and I decided to invest in gold and an IRA. At first, I was skeptical because I didn't know if I was really talking to somebody for real. I waited a long time because I didn't know what to do, but the reps walked me through it all. They were very good.

    The team from Goldco was very patient, professional, and considerate. They weren't trying to talk me into anything. If things weren't working out, they said that was fine and to call later. They weren't pushy or demanding at all. They explained everything because I had zero knowledge, and they were very respectful, kind and confident enough to help me understand. After buying some Goldco gold and silver, I became very comfortable. I came to find out how honest they all are. They don't hold back and let you know 100% how things are going to run.
