Beware of marketing tricks which many play. Please make sure you are comparing apples to apples when reviewing our products and pricing versus others'. Many sell secondary market (second-hand) bullion that they have bought back from resellers. In this age of counterfeit Chinese products, you need to purchase direct from the source. Many will claim to have a low premium above spot price, but their basis is an inflated spot price or a delayed pricing feed. Don't buy a "generic" product which is not clearly hallmarked with the mint's name. "Generic" rounds do not resell for nearly the same value, as the buyer is unaware of the manufacturer and their reputation. Golden State Mint products are clearly hallmarked and are IRA Approved, and we're also an ISO 9001 Registered Firm. We offer a beautiful selection of designs for you to choose from at the best prices around. Knowing every order is mint fresh direct from the source provides you peace of mind. Increase your stack, and get more metal for your dollar!
