I had been hearing more about the benefits of investing in gold/silver, but didn’t know where to start. Someone had sent me some info about Lear Capital so I thought I would give them a call. I was nervous and a bit skeptical at first. From the moment I talked to Daniel, he put my mind at ease, explaining everything in ways I would understand and made this such an easy process.
My husband hadn’t been in on my call and was initially concerned about my investment in silver through Lear. When I called Daniel back to discuss, he sent me so many good articles and offered to talk with my husband as well.

I am still trying to speak to my rep to find out how I was sold one-tenth ounce gold coins which is the most costly and far less bang for your buck when I set up an IRA. No phone call returned after promising to do so on May 1st, and emails not completely answered yet. Why would I agree to buy 107 tenth-ounce coins for $255.70 each which equates to a $2,557 per ounce gold price. That type of coin was never discussed or seen in brochures. I have no record of sending in an electronic signature of a shipping agreement via email and have doubts I could have sent it being that I left for the airport right after our recorded phone call which I have requested but have yet to hear it.
I realize we are in a workplace pause but it's been since late March. I have been corresponding with my rep to get answers. Right now I am glad I only experimented with $40k to find out how this would work as I had others who were interested but so far I am not recommending Lear to them. I did get some recent quotes from other companies which would have offered a much better deal for the same Lear got me. My suggestion to anyone reading this is to never do electronic signing nor agree to anything by phone but see the documents in hand to know exactly what you will get and the cost and then sign them.

Oscar, thank you for your review. Lear Capital does sell coins and bars for a profit. It seems you found a local coin dealer willing to sell you coins for 2% lower than we charged. Historically, that coin dealer will also pay you much less than we charge and hopefully that dealer has the quantity in stock you ordered from us. And being that we are in California and you are in Oregon, we have to pay for shipping and we did ask you to pay for a portion of it. If we could have offered free shipping and that would make you happy, let me know and we can refund the shipping cost to you at our expense and your gain. We will happily refund your money, which by the way will cause you to lose money as your coins as of this writing have appreciated beyond what you paid for them if you choose.

I purchased $ 56,000 dollars worth of Swiss Francs. Pre. 1950. Was told that because no more of these coins were available that they would be more valuable. The price was 430 plus dollars per coin so I asked what the size of the coin was. I was told they were quarter ounces .2500 so I agreed to purchase them even if they were over 200.00 above spot because they were the last of these coins.
So after over a month of waiting, I finally got an invoice of the purchase. To my astonishment I saw that the coins were only .1867 of an ounce, which translates to 12,000.00 difference in value, which I would of never bought at that price. When I was told that the coin were one quarter ounce I had no reason to question the weight, because I thought a large company Like Lear Capital would know what they are selling, and not purposely mislead a client. So the difference In the weight of the coins equals $12000.00 which lear capital owes me. I have also called lear capital and spoke with Joe concerning this matter a couple of days ago.

The future never happened and then out of the blue I received a call from Lear stating that platinum was at a historic low and they could make the losses in my account look quite favorable by moving the $41k to platinum, and yes you guessed it I did.

I just wish I you could speed up the process. Thank you.

My Lear Representative made several suggestions about the advantages and disadvantages of different types of gold and silver coins and bullion. He also pointed out the unusual wide ratio between the price of gold and silver, indicating that silver may be grossly underpriced at this time. Based in his information, I made a conscious decision to purchase a combination of both silver coins and bullion and am very happy with my decision.

I sent Lear 200,000 as an IRA investment asking them to direct me to the best silver and gold holdings. The best holdings lost about 60% (yes, 60!) in the last 2 years because they bought silver proof coins which proceeded to lose money from day one until today. I certainly said yes yes to their glib phone record because like a jerk, I trusted them to protect MY interests as a fiduciary, instead of THEIR outrageous fat commissions on a product that nobody wants to buy anymore (if they ever did).
It's not as if the commodity of silver went DOWN. It DIDN'T! It went UP! But I had PROOF COINS which I think were booked as a profit to LEAR on day one of something like 50 to 100% OVER THE price of the commodity. Who knew? Let the buyer beware. Slick advertising ("silver is set to EXPLODE!") but alas, trusting LEAR for anything other than STRAIGHT bullion (which you can compare with JM Bullion, for instance) is probably going to get you a HUGE LOSS which appears non-recoverable even after 2 years of rising silver prices).
Jack we have yet to close your file. Are you still looking to sell your metals? I have not heard back from you.

I thought the lines of communication were open and broker was helpful before our purchase of metals. We were walked through all the paperwork and procedures. However after the purchase and set up of our IRA I had a hard time getting a response to a question I had. I had the feeling that once sale was made we just are not important anymore.

Wouldn’t recommend to anyone I know. Lied to about Markup and later was told that was Premium. Told it would weigh about 400 pounds, ended up being about 225 pounds. Told I was buying in at $15.54, net at $15.22 when factoring in promotional coins. Reality was closer to $39. Two weeks later silver was up to $17.22 but my $100k investment was now worth $67k. Totally lied to over and over again. Played a game of semantics. Thinking of buying precious metals IRA up to a million but won’t invest another penny.

I opened an IRA with Lear Capital in April of 2019. I funded the account with a check for $6,500.00 and then spoke with an agent from Lear to purchase silver with the funds in the account. On the date of the invoice Lear sent to me, 4/30/2019 the spot price for silver was approximately $14.96 per oz. The person who sold me the silver spoke to me on the phone and said that I would be buying 1 oz. rounds (not coins) and I would pay just over the spot price for it.
He then came at me with all these terms and other thing that got me confused and said that we have to make a recording to verify that I’m agreeing to these terms, which were very nebulous in the description he provided. He did not say that he would be using the recording to set the price. In the recording he very slowly asks if I agree to the terms he had just defined, and then goes into a very long, fast run-on sentence where he includes the price per oz. somewhere in the middle. That price was $23.53, and a price I certainly would not have agreed to pay for silver when I had been buying large quantities of it from JM Bullion for the spot prices. I was charged more than 57% above the spot price which I would never have agreed to and I believe is criminal.
I admit that I should have listened more carefully during the recording regarding the price I’m paying and verified that it was the same price that he hurriedly slipped in to the recorded portion of my conversation. I didn’t realize what he had done until I looked at some statements not too long ago. The statements come from Strata Trust Company, allegedly where the silver is stored. Even their account statements are misleading as they do not show a minus sign or red ink for a loss. The loss is in parentheses. I didn’t see how I could have a loss especially seeing as how silver is up close to 15% from when I purchased it, but when I read the statement more carefully I realized that I’d lost close to 1/3 of my deposit into the account even though silver has done very well since I opened it.
I have been dealing with the account representative from Lear, Jared **, and he has been running me around. He told me that Strata sent investors a letter in 2014 stating that they could set the price according to what they perceive the value to be and that’s why I paid such a high price. ** admitted that I should have been provided a copy of that letter, essentially admitting that I had not been. I asked ** how this 57% over spot price was determined and he told me that they work off of pricing sheets. I told him to email me the pricing sheet for that day, April 30, and he agreed but has yet to do so. When I asked again he sent me a copy of the same invoice that I already have a copy of from when the purchase was made. That is not what he described a pricing sheet to be, that is an invoice and I told him so, however he has not responded.
I have been asking ** some questions that he will not answer:
• What are Lear Capital’s protocols for price setting?• Was there a commission paid on the purchase I made?
• Where is the pricing sheet that you told me was used to set the price?
I told ** that I would be making complaints today and he’s left voicemails and sent emails that he’s going to “make this right” for me. Clearly they do not want what was done to me to be sent to anyone who would investigate. I will not take their ‘bribe’ as I believe other people need protection from this scam. I was in law enforcement for 20 years and continue to work murder cases nationwide as a forensic consultant so I’m interested in justice.

Every one at Lear Capital was very efficient, attentive, knowledgeable and polite. However, the FedEx delivery person delivered the silver to the wrong address and the wrong person signed for it. I notified Lear Capital by email over the weekend by Monday when I called my agent, he had already reported the issue to FedEx.

I called and talked with Jason about that I had ordered the 1/10th oz gold coin. He said that Lear doesn't do that anymore. I explained that it's still on the website. So, he said that he would honor it and would send a mailer to return the silver coins with the gold one. After a week I called Jason and asked when I could expect it to be shipped. He said that it would go out that afternoon or the next day and that I would recieve a tracking number. This was a week ago and I still haven't got a tracking number. My experience with Lear Capital has been outstanding in the past and now wondering what's going on? Thank You... Tom

I never bought silver coins before and didn't know much about it. I just wanted to buy to hold due to the financial situation the country is in. I was fast talked into buying silver bear coins. I didn't know what they were. Before I knew it I spent 11,954.00. I received 300 1.5 oz coins with a spot price of at the time was 16.45 an ounce, That comes to 450 oz x 16.45= 7402.50 + 68.00 shipping = 7470.50. Then take away the 11954.00 leaves 4483.5 over the spot price of silver. Take the 300 coins into 4483.50 = 14.945 over spot price. I went to APMEX online and they are selling the exact coins for 5.33 over spot price. It's a difference of 9.62 a coin or 300 x 9.62 a difference of $2,886.00. That is one hell of a difference. I feel I have been ripped off.

As a new customer to the precious metals market I called Lear Capital to inquire first before ordering anything. I must say that I was not satisfied with that experience, I was looking to be educated on what is good to buy, how it should be handled and/or stored, and just some general information on the varying options. I got no such thing, the answer I got was “gold is just gold, you just keep it”. Thanks **. I decided to make the purchase on my own online as obviously I wasn’t receiving any help on the phone, that was a much better experience although I did not see a lot in the way of education for a new consumer. Something in that respect may help your sales going forward and something to consider. Anyway I am happy with my (relatively small) first-time purchase and with the retailer as a reliable source. Thanks Lear!

I do not think that the Lear agent gave me enough information about the Canadian coin they recommended and for which they are the sole distributors. I believe they sold my coins to a wholesaler and then bought them back at at a small premium from the wholesaler to resell retail. The huge profit from such transactions explain how Lear can spend so much on ads to attract retail buyers like me. I would have been much better off if I had bought Morgan silver dollars.

I was purchasing gold and silver by weight. I repeatedly told the salesman Alex ** I did not care about the form of the gold, I did not want to pay for a coin's value as well as the gold. I am not a coin collector. It was very plainly stated during the sale. I even told him why I did not want coin value. That I had contacted Roselin Capital prior to Lear and did not want to buy coins that were supposedly worth more than the price of the gold. I did not buy from them for that very reason.
What shows up at my door? Gold coins priced far beyond the value of the gold. Bait and switch, an illegal fraud practice and very poor business tactic. I was then transferred to Alex's supervisor. He proceeded to argue with me, interrupted me constantly, and at one point was screaming at me through the phone. I will never buy from Lear again! Your company has extremely poor customer service. I was yelled at by your management constantly interrupted and swindled. I will warn my friends and constituents, not to do business with Lear.
