    This was my second order, I liked both orders of silver, Danny ** was excellent on giving me the facts on both silver and gold. After he finished informing me of all the facts I decided to purchase silver and did so twice. I would definitely recommend others to buy from LEAR CAPITAL. I really like the Snow Falcon and Bear coins.

    My experience with Lear began in January 2017, due in large part to my phone being dialed by accident by account Specialist Kelly **, she was following up with another client but got my number instead as I was also on a list of folks who requested info. Upon hearing the voicemail she left (for the other client) I was impressed before even speaking with anyone, most firms offering metal based IRA services/sales constantly call, sometimes with blocked caller ID and for some reason never leave a message to return the call, etc. So I was pleased to hear a msg even though it wasn't intended for me.

    I returned the call to inform her about the mix up so she could call the other client again, I am so glad I did. Once we spoke, she was reassuring of my intentions about a metals IRA and confirmed my several concerns about the current state of our nation's financial situation and the enormous risk the typical 401k and IRA exposes folks to, her knowledge on the subject of investment and policies is incredible! I had been wanting to move a portion of my IRA into metals for some time but needed to be sure it was actual hard assets, not the ETF's many brokers offer. Well that simple return of a msg to a wrong number finally got things in motion for me.

    I don't remember the exact timing but I was eventually introduced to another account specialist Jody **, who has been absolutely awesome in the handling of my new IRA venture, she also has an incredible ability to explain the process with a shared passion for helping folks find some piece of mind outside of the market bubble!

    As the process progressed, Jody took the time to explain various questions I had along the way, I phoned her on several occasions and she clearly and respectfully provided the answers I needed and could understand. I want to thank another member of your team but I'm not 100% certain of her name, possibly Samaria was also excellent in her ability to help me through the actual funding transfer process, despite my best effort to discuss my intentions to my IRA broker, he made no effort to assist me in funds allocations from my Schwab based account, Samaria? Was awesome in working thru the part of the process I feared the most, dealing with the folks at Schwab directly. With her assistance we were able to have my new IRA funded within two weeks or so. What a relief!

    I apologize for the lengthy response. I want to be sure you folks know how completely impressed I am with the professionalism of your staff. I will recommend your service to anyone I meet who is considering a move to a precious metal IRA. Thank you.

    I was told I would be notified by email when my order was shipped. I received no notification. My order was shipped thru FedEx and because we could not be home to sign for it, they kept leaving notes stating they would try again. I contacted FedEx at the number they gave me and tried to change up the time of day they delivered as I've seen their truck in my neighborhood as late as 7 pm. The response was no they would not do it but I could pick it up at their location. I took time off work to get the package picked up. All said and done the process was not that great.

    My assumption was that purchasing metal to set up my IRA was going to be a mechanical process wherein I purchased some bullion with a commission going to Lear Capital of a few percent. The representative presented another option, semi-numismatic coins with an enormous commission. Now I found myself in uncharted waters. I should have realized that I was in a high-stakes negotiation. I don't feel that I made a very good deal for myself and that I grossly overpaid for what I received. I am very unhappy with the transaction.

    I took a survey about 1-2 weeks ago and voiced my displeasure with my experience. Some of the things noted was that I felt a bit misled regarding the pricing and Lear's margin of profit on my deal as well as originally being promised free coins and free shipping of which I received neither. I did state that both Tony and Lev were polite, courteous and knowledgeable. I was surprised that nobody ever followed up with me regarding my concerns indicating that you only wanted my business and that after you got it, as small as it may have been, you had no further interest in me. I was in charge of many service organizations and if I had received a review like the one I gave in that survey I know I would have been on the phone speaking with that customer to regain their trust and try to earn more business from that customer as well as get them to positively refer other customers.

    Sent out a review of a survey request, after seeing on your site of Canadian Silver Snow Falcon, 1 1/2 OZ. of which you said retailed much less than you charged me. Then received a cell phone call from a Larry, wanting to go over the review. Can not give much more than a four star, since he never said what monetary compensation I am to receive. I am happy Lear Capital reached out to settle any discrepancy, that I viewed as a somewhat overcharge. I WILL GLADLY GIVE THE MAXIMAL REVIEW, ONCE I SEE WHAT THE COMPENSATION WILL BE.

    Really Denise, retail for $25 to $30 dollars each. How come Terry **, (in your absence) charge me $45.95 for each Silver Falcon "that you said was sold out" and said he gave me a deal from $51.00 something. Guess I will need my Brother-in-law's help in ordering my next Silver. STILL FRIENDS BUT JUST NOT QUITE SURE I'M GETTING A FAIR SHARE!

    Response from Lear Capital

    We have attempted to contact you several times to clarify how your account is valued. Often clients are confused by the receipt of their first IRA statement. Please note that the IRA custodian only shows spot value for every coin no matter if the coin is regular bullion or premium. No one can buy gold or silver for the spot price and the custodian uses this metric for simple accounting purposes. I would like to take time to explain this to you and resolve any issue you have, but we can not verify your contact information and I cannot look you up with the limited name you have provided. Please reach out to me at marketing@learpcapital.com.

    My experiences have been good but I get the impression that we "small potatoes" folks are more a nuisance than customers. I cannot afford to invest big bucks into precious metals and I am not sure it's a good investment to begin with. I had to sell my mother's sterling silver flatware that cost us thousands of dollars. All we got was $700 melt-down value. I am buying these silver coins for my grandchildren for Christmas & birthdays hoping when they "come of age" the value will have increased.

    I ask specifically for coins from the Canadian mint that was 5-99999. But that is not what I received. But when he was going to fix my order he was going to charge me the cost of gold at present time. Instead of charging me the price of gold during the first transaction. Lear Capital is charging very high prices already for their gold. 1/3 roaring grizzly at your price was nearly 700 dollars. That's a rip off.

    I went ahead and bought a few even though they were still overpriced at 490. But if he gave me the value of the 1 ounce coins at the time of the original transaction. I could have trade them back, kept 1 and received 4 1 ounce coins and 200 some odd dollars. But he was just going to keep the money. He said he gave me a deal. Which in the real world that we live in I was being ripped off considering the price of gold and what I can get the 1 ounce growing cougars for elsewhere. I told Derrius that this was a trial for further transactions. That trial failed. So I will bid your company and Derrius a fond farewell.

I'm very happy with my purchase, and I sincerely appreciate Lear Capital's no fuss, no muss approach to gold and silver sales.

    I recently transferred my IRA to Lear Capital in hopes to invest in metals. My account value decreased 40% due to their cost (not price fluctuations in the metals market). This is HOW HIGH the cost is to purchase metals with Lear Capital. Be cautious and ask for pricing because once they "Record" you it's impossible to get your money back. These guys are smooth talkers, they have gone through some rigorous training. Also the paperwork you sign would take hours to read but they wait on the line while you sign, therefore they are well aware you haven't had the time to read the small print. Be careful or you will be sorry. This is my hard earned money down the drain.

    Thank you Petra for your review. We were happy to help you understand how to read your evaluation. Indeed all IRA metals are valued at spot price. No matter if their full value is worth much more. This is done for simple accounting purposes. Thank you again for your business.

    I thought Lear Capital was a trustworthy company. The silver purchase that I made cost double the current market rate. I had expected some front end load of 10% or less. They never let me know the cost of buying the silver until at the end of the transaction they recorded the acceptance from me and buried the cost Clause within the recording. They played this recording back to me at 30%. I would've never agreed to this. Lear Capital reviewed it with me in advance of the recording. You ended up charging me $33 an ounce for silver versus the market for that date 11/10/16 of $15.74. You stole half of my current and only retirement 401(k) program making a $49,000 investment worth less than half on today's market. Your company is a group of thieves.

We just had to pick the packages up at the package window at the post office. I suspect that nobody at Lear Capital has any idea how FedEx actually handles their business at remote locations.

I invested in Silver about three days before the Brexit vote and I lost 15% at once, however it recovered as Tom said it likely would. Then Trump was elected and silver is down again. Few people saw these events coming.

    This is the day after Thanksgiving and I likely will need to withdraw much of my investment early (for the down payment of a reverse mortgage) and because I suspect that improving prognostications for our economy now likely will also lose me another 5% before the end of the year, when I had planned to use the money when the loan closes, anyway. Long-term conditions have changed little and so what I have left will remain where it is and will grow next year as we confront our larger economic problems both at home and abroad.

He kept within my budget which was very important. The economy has taken a hit the last 8 years. I am very happy with the decision to use Lear Capital. I have been watching the commercials for the different companies selling gold and silver and they were my first pick. Also, I feel relieved to have some silver in my possession. It was a win-win situation. Thank you.

    We were told that we would receive a phone call at the time of shipping since we were heading to Yuma, AZ for the winter. We did not receive a phone call, and thankfully our daughter had stopped by our house when Federal Express stopped by. She called us and we told her to sign for the delivery. This could have been a very bad experience.

    My experience with Cal at Lear Capital was stellar. I had contacted several other companies as well to see who would be a good fit for me, and all the others tried to "sell" me on what they had to offer, not listening to me and what I was asking for. Cal ** was the exception. From our very first conversation he listened and recognized that I understood what he was talking about, and allowed me to ask the questions I needed to ask, without condescension and with a good deal of humor, and honoring me and what I already knew. It was a refreshing change from being "talked at." From my time speaking with him I began to understand more about bullion coins (as my experience is in numismatic quality coins) and helped me find the perfect balance in owning both. I love talking to Cal and will always go to him for advice, and if I want to buy more or sell some of my coins. REALLY GREAT EXPERIENCE!

    I purchased silver and gold through an IRA with Lear Capital. I sent them $300,000. The recorded line clearly tells me I purchased $299,000 worth of silver and gold. I figured the money difference was what their fee was. They sent me NOTHING in paperwork - no transaction details, nothing. Seven months go by and I realize I've gotten nothing from them or the repository that was supposedly holding the silver and gold, so I ask for an online log-in. When I get logged in, I see my account is down $110,000, but silver and gold have gone up since the day I purchased. When I demanded an answer as to where my money was, one agent told me I had a 25% fee but another confirmed it was actually 33%. That was the FIRST TIME I had heard of this in any respect.

    Their shipping confirmation language is couched in terms that are hard to understand and do not clearly tell you what your fee is - uses the word "spread" and says this "spread" is between 5% and 33%. Not a word about a FEE or COMMISSION. Their recorded conversation is the same way - they tell you all you need to do is agree to the terms and your account will be set up. The terms of me purchasing $299,000 worth of silver and gold seemed fair - NOT that I actually got $200,000 worth and they STOLE $100,000 of my money. They didn't spend fifteen minutes total talking to me. They put NOTHING in writing and just manipulate and deceive on their phone calls. These people are CROOKS. If I could give them a minus 10, I would!

    Overall great service. From going online and ordering which was made simple and clear. To the tracking of the delivery of products. The only thing I didn't like was the wire transfer that was needed. I do not like mailing money through the mail so I was forced to wire the money. I was charged an additional $30 from my bank to complete the transfer. Besides that, once again great service and I look to continue with my investments with Lear going forward.

A gentleman named Vincent ** duped me to buy 1/4 Gold Snow Falcons for $424.00, when spot was $1150.00. I called them to say I want to get in cash. And, here spot sits at $1275.00, and they wanted me to sell my Falcons for $317.00. I should have stuck with my guy and bought the eagles. I know better. I've been buying and selling for 7 years, but got duped by this guy explaining how these will go up in value. Very deceitful to say the least. Stay away from this company. I'm sure there are better ones to work with.
