Consumers should also obtain a clear understanding of the fees associated with any investment before agreeing to invest.

What is Monetary Gold?

Monetary Gold can also help you open a precious metals IRA and fund your account with IRS-approved precious metals.

  • Bullion coins: Gold Austrian Philharmonic, South African Krugerrand, gold Canadian Maple Leaf, gold and silver American Eagle and American Gold Buffalo coins
  • Rare U.S. coins: Saint Gaudens, Liberty and Indian gold coins

Monetary Gold storage

Once you fund your IRA, Monetary Gold transfers the precious metals to the depository on your behalf.

  • Shipping and delivery: Shipments are fully insured and require signatures upon arrival.
  • Storage: Metals are stored at Delaware Depository Service Company. This facility has high-security vaults, monitored security devices and redundant alarms.

Once the metals have been processed, inspected and insured, your IRA custodian is responsible for statements and holdings.

If you’re not using an IRA and you want your metals delivered to you, you can select from FedEx, USPS or UPS for shipping. This option costs a $30 flat fee.

Monetary Gold fees

With Monetary Gold, you pay $100 per year to store and insure up to $100,000 of gold. For accounts over $100,000, it costs $1 for every additional $1,000 of gold. For example, if you have $150,000 of gold, your annual fee would be $150.

How I wish we had originally signed up with Monetary Gold in the beginning instead of the company we went with; we would have ended up being so much better off!! MG has kept reaching out to us, helping us, which hasn't been very easy because of our difficult situation. We really appreciate all their help and suggestions in getting our investment out of where it was and over to them. Very happy with them!

    I had been working with another company in reference to transferring my 401 over to Gold/Silver. When Jonathan ** contacted me and educated me on Monetary's offers as well as education in general, I immediately switched to him. I could not believe how on top of my account he was. It was about a 4-day adventure with him whereas with the other company it was well over a month and the transfer was still not completed, I would recommend him and this company to everyone.

    I am so glad I was introduced to Di ** when I did last year as much portfolio with Monetary Gold has made incredible gains. She always takes time to explain and re-explain anything I have questions about. She has made me feel confident about my purchases with her company. I recommend her to everyone that needs help in investing because I trust her and her expertise. If you’re insecure about stocks or investment call Di **, you won’t be disappointed.

    If you are a first-time metals buyer like me, you might be overwhelmed for where to begin. Although I encourage you to do your due diligence, I would love to reassure you if you select Monetary Gold. Their record is perfectly clean, and their personnel reflect that with every communication. They are so well informed and excellent at explaining to someone who is a beginner. I intend to make more purchases through Monetary Gold, and look forward to their assisting me with my investments as well.

    Hi Carol,

    I am so glad to hear about your experience. That's exciting. As a first-time buyer, yes it can be scary treading into new territory, but I'm happy that everything worked out for you and that there will be more purchases in the future.

    Thank you for sharing your experience.

    Here's to a prosperous future!

    Max from MG explained to me about my issues and it has been resolved to my satisfaction. I will do business again with them.

    Original review: Dec. 11, 2022

    Consumers should be aware of this sales rep. Di **. Back in Aug. 2022, I was looking into buying some gold or silver. Initially she was very friendly and patient with me on the phone, so I trusted her and told her that it was my first time investing in precious metal. I even told her I don't want to buy any collectibles. So she still recommended me some proof coins. I did not do my homework so I went with her recommendation.

    However Later on I found out from my friend's coin dealer, that I have overpaid at least 2-3 times higher than the market price. I paid 32k for all the metals but the metals only worth of 16k on the spot value today. So I wrote to her 2 times to request the detail of the metals such as what year was the production, questioning why she charged me double. Until today she never got back to me. Nether less, I should have talked to a few more dealers before purchasing, I should have done my research beforehand, lastly I should not just depend on the information given by the sales person's alone. I learn my lesson but with a huge price tag.

    My experience with Monetary Gold was outstanding. Their representatives were very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. All the transactions were clearly explained and they made sure I understood all the procedures completely before the transactions were completed. I would recommend Monetary Gold.
