From a NIGHTMARE to AWESOME DEAL, I started with a different company rolling my 401K into Gold & Silver IRA and the other company after 3 or 4 days finally did the deal that I quickly backed out of when the prices they were selling me Gold & Silver seemed really high.

I was pretty upset. Slept on it and prayed for guidance as this was all new to me and soon called Orion. From this point on it was all Awesome. The nightmare was over. They sold me the same Gold coin for $200+ per 1/4oz less.

And much the same story with most of my silver coming in well under like 35% + ... I would have never guessed from one dealer to another the gap could be that huge!! The people here at Orion were so quick and helpful.

I was relaxed and now that it's done I can sit back and see what happens. Jacob was great to work with and I look forward to see one of the Coins he pointed out how it does. The other two will likely move with the markets.

For the most part I guess anyway the transaction here could not have been better and being new I enjoyed the fact no one ever made me feel out of placed and answered every question with detail... Thank God for guiding me and Thank Orion for being honest and great to work with...

After doing research on many precious metals IRAs available I decided Orion was for me. The Team of professionals made me feel comfortable with the process of switching from my local bank IRA to their self directed IRA. I am very happy with my decision. Thank you Michael, Griselda and Jacob!

A lot of phone conversations to someone to explain what needs to be done to make this transfer happen but the end result is satisfying and I look forward to having a positive gain. Waiting to get my first report on my investment.

Very knowledgeable and myself being new to precious metal investments Jacob explained how it all works. It was a very easy process transferring my 401k into precious metals.

Jacob gave us his honest opinion as to what precious metals were best to invest in and that helped us make a knowledgeable decision. All our questions and concerns were addressed completely.

I was advised by people I respected to select annuities prior to my retirement. Unfortunately for me, I took that advice and retired in 2001.

Then life happened and what I thought was a good sum of money slowly lost value with each turn of the market--and there were many turns, mostly all negative. Had I invested in precious metals in 2001, I would have been a lot better off now.

So my advice to anyone reading this in their early retirement years is to get out of paper investments quickly. Invest in precious metals with an excellent company like Orion Metal Exchange. Life will be even more tumultuous going forward than it is now.

Precious metals will protect you and a good company like Orion Metal Exchange will help you to secure your future solidly in precious metals.

Orion is very professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and will advise you with integrity. Do yourself a favor and learn from my experience!

I was so impressed by Orion Metal Exchange. They were honest and professional. They made me feel comfortable about my purchase and never once did they pressure me. As a first time precious metals customer, I was very nervous. I did a lot of research and called a lot of other precious metals companies and found out that I could get a lot more metal for my money at Orion. Looking forward to doing more business with Orion.

I had been thinking about investing in Gold and Silver for a while and wasn't sure what to do because I have been invested in Stocks and Bonds for so long. Senior Account Manager, Robert ** was very helpful and patient with us doing our IRA rollover. We had a considerable amount of money invested in the stock market and making the move into precious metals was very quick and easy. We couldn't be happier. Thank you Robert and the IRA Department at Orion! 5 stars!
