American Mint Reviews

On January 24, 2025, I bought some coins that were advertised as .999 gold. They came in a case, and the coins were protected by a clear plastic case. I didn't open them until I was warned that the American Mint had sold the same item to someone else, and when they opened it, it was just gold-colored plastic and not a real coin. I want to warn you not to buy anything from that company; it's a scam. I called the American Mint and filed a complaint, and they just told me they couldn't do anything because of the time it took. Fortunately, I bought the merchandise with my credit card. I filed the complaint with the credit card company so that everyone is aware that the American Mint is a scam.

Ordered an Apollo 11 coin, cost was $90 or so, shipping $10. Took two weeks to get it, and the 'gold plating' was rusted on the coin (obviously not gold). Their description of the coin was a lie. On top of that, they sent me an invoice saying I owed an additional $9.93 that was due in 25 days. No reason why I owe this amount, I ordered from their website and paid with a credit card. So I'm returning the coin, they say it will take 45-60 days to credit my card. Why do I think I will never see that money again? CROOKS!

Buyer BEWARE. They lie to you. You never received what you purchase from them. Sent a money order. Been cashed for 99.00$. When you call you get a run around. My husband is 79 yrs old. After this NEVER AGAIN BUY ANYTHING FROM AMERICAN MINT. Sad for this company. We should have read the reviews before he tried to buy anything from them.... BUYER BEWARE!!!

I have purchased items from them since 2016 and really question their worth in value over time as they advertise. I have three of their Bowie knives and two pocket knives associated with this collection. I also have two large silver and gold engraved coins of ground zero and the star spangled banner. All have certificates with them in low numbers. But when taken to a local dealer of collectible items in our area, he said while they look nice and have low numbers - they don't hold their value at all unless it is really something of worth they are looking for. Over a 850.00 investment at my cost to them over these years - and only offered 400.00 from one person. SO, my question is are their items that they sell to us really worth what we pay for them as being advertised by them??? Not happy about this at all on their part.

Service! I can't imagine there are that many negative reviews, I have had nothing but great service from American Mint!!!!

Ordered a Trump coin. Got a cute box and a Desantis coin too, that I never ordered. A couple emails back and forth after returning what I didn't order. They did send of refund check for the return I guess ($10); but now send an invoice for what they already acknowledged was returned. It's a subscription they said - they just send stuff you don't want, then keep billing you and threatening to turn you over to collection because they claim you never returned it. Just DO NOT EVER PLACE ONE ORDER with these con-artists.

Coins sent to me are Plastic. I opened the case to look and they are not real at all. FAKE PLASTIC COINS! This company should be ashamed and I can't believe they are even allowed to do such things. DO NOT SEND MONEY TO AMERICAN MINT.

My husband got a mailing for Trump coins. Who ordered and paid for four. He received three that he ordered plus a different one that he didn't realize was, in fact, different. The error wasn't realized by him until he received another invoice a month later. After looking at the paperwork that he received with the coins there was no explanation as to why the fourth coin was not enclosed. Is it my husband's fault for not reading the invoice when the shipment originally arrived? Yes. Was it their fault for sending a fourth coin when it wasn't ordered? Absolutely! This is exactly how they sucker you into buying what you don't want or need. All of these companies who sell this stuff need to be avoided. Their practices are predatory at the least.

I ordered a gold buffalo through the American mint, sent me other stuff I didn't order, I told them to send me something to send it back in. They never did and keep sending me a bill on it. I do not recommend buying anything from them.

Do not buy from this company if you think your coins are going to be worth anything after you spend the money. My father paid $600 for six coins and we sold them for $.50. They are worth nothing. They prey on the elderly. Do not buy.
