I was kind of intimidated with setting up a precious metals IRA, but Goldco was very easy to work with. The process of setting up an account was really easy, and they have excellent customer service. I highly recommend them.

Buying precious metals through Goldco couldn’t have been any easier! My account executive, Mr **, walked me through the buy process quickly putting me at ease via his vast knowledge of precious metals, making suggestions & answering all my questions. I was comforted in knowing he truly wanted me to understand my metal buy and the metal market itself. I feel good about my decision to plunge once again into buying precious metals. It’s reassuring to know my investment into metals is an investment into my (or my beneficiaries) future. Thank you Mr ** and Goldco for helping me become a precious metal owner!

I worked with Darwin ** from GoldCo, to rollover part of my IRA into precious metals. Darwin made the process so easy and was very attentive and explained everything very thoroughly. I had put off the process for many months, and I’m glad I finally moved forward. I have every confidence in Darwin and in GoldCo.

I recently decided to move some of my traditional IRA dollars into a 'Metals' IRA and called GoldCo, asking them to help me with the process. My first call to Tony ** was on Monday, 3/25, and with help from Tony and his team - I was able to transfer money, fund my account, and complete the process in a short, 2 week timeframe. Today, 4/8, the purchase was finalized. In addition, I was able to take advantage of a promotion offer and received additional silver, at no charge. They also support a Buy-Back Guarantee program that really gives me peace of mind in the transaction I completed today. Thanks, Tony and team, for your expertise and support in making this transaction quick and painless!

I knew nothing about gold and silver...nothing! I wanted to protect my IRA so researched companies and found Goldco to be the best for me ... I contacted Goldco and got an agent named Lou. He was so patient, professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. He also help educate me with terms used in the business, history of precious metals and any questions I had, as well as repeated anything I didn't understand...sometimes more than once or twice. I was truly impressed with all that I talked to at Goldco. I feel much more relieved doing business with Goldco in protecting my IRA and more knowledgeable about the business of precious metals.

I just completed a partial traditional IRA rollover with Goldco. The process was easy to understand and everyone involved in the transaction was very professional and explained the details clearly. A custodial IRA account was established with Equity Trust to facilitate the transfer of funds and manage the account. Thank you to Chris T., Dave M. and Danielle M. at Goldco, and Simone F. at Equity Trust for helping me to understand the process, create the IRA and complete the purchase of both gold and silver coins. -- Chris G.

Account Executive as well as customer service are super-efficient, very responsive, and extremely patient. As a first-time customer they took me figuratively speaking and led me by the hand through the process not only to buy gold and silver but also to convert my TSP to a gold and silver IRA. Now a year later I find nothing has changed. They are still as patient as ever and take the time to explain and answer all my questions no matter how trivial they may appear to them.

I was given an option to buy a President's Day special and wired the amount of $30,000 to Goldco to make use of this offer. I was first approached by my advisor at Goldco, Jon **, who made me aware of this offer. He has been an outstanding advisor and I appreciate his help enormously. After I wired the money, I was called the next day and an explanation given, in detail, of the number of silver coins that I will receive and which will be mailed to me. Goldco is an outstanding company and I am fortunate to be a client.

I transferred two IRAs to GoldCo. The first one, my rep was attentive until he got my money transferred and then I he wouldn't return phone calls, texts or emails when I wanted to transfer my 2nd IRA. I finally got a hold of a different rep 3 months later and transferred my Roth IRA. He committed to stay in contact through the whole process. I told him I needed to move my funds to the Texas vault location and change the beneficiary to my estate. He assured me he would help me with the process.

As soon as my Roth IRA funds were transferred, I never heard from him again although I emailed, texted and left voicemails. I was finally able to get a hold of customer service who emailed me some forms to fill out. Since I didn't have guidance, I got another email saying I needed to fill out my beneficiary forms differently. GoldCo will consistently GHOST YOU after they get your money. Also, my account "values" shows a fraction of what I contributed and I can't get anyone to explain it to me.

I've never dealt with precious metals before, and I've only recently connected with Goldco. Being new at this is not only nerve racking it's also a bit scary, so that being said and the fact that I'm brand new to this, I have to say so far all the questions I had have been explained. The concerns have been eased and I hope as time goes on it will continue to be as smooth as it has been so far.

I was disappointed that I did not receive the 5% in silver coins as bonus for my purchase of $50,000 in gold as I had been led to believe before signing the contract. The silver coins in bonus I was now told only covered purchase of the limited vintage gold coins, not other gold coins. Thus, I received only 19 silver coins in bonus. I also feel the whole transaction, from initially signing the contract to placing the order, took too long, a total of more than 3 weeks.
