Hi, lots of trouble getting my IRA transferred over. Then when done, there was no mention that there might be residuals $ left at previous account. However, APM was nice enough to allow me to purchase more metals with the residual money that didn't meet their minimum balance rule. Thankful for that, since I didn't want that money left in as cash.

The team is happy we were able to help work through your previous custodian's transfer challenges (that can happen sometimes) and also accommodate the residual funds. Thank you for trusting Augusta Precious Metals with your retirement funds. Your satisfaction is incredibly important to us, and we’re glad everything came together.

Augusta Precious Metals explained the entire process and how it works very clearly. The customer team does a great job of communication and assisted me with a 401K rollover. However, there is no free silver offer. That's because they do not over charge - which is another plus!

Augusta Precious Metals believes transparent pricing, strong communication, and straightforward gold IRA information are essential when retirement savers are considering a 401(k) rollover. We’re glad the difference stood out to you. Sincerely, The Augusta Customer Care Team

Agusta introduced me (and my wife) to alternative retirement investing in such an "informed" way that we asked ourselves; "Why hadn't we done this sooner ". Gold and silver will always be "valuable", and the Agusta team made their point... "There is now a way to maximize the value of a gold / silver portfolio hedging rising risk elsewhere. We needed the Agusta Team long ago and now they have our nod.

In February 2026, I began a 21-day series of zoom meetings, emails and telephone calls with Augusta Precious Metals (APM). I signed an agreement with APM and liquidated assets and transferred funds from my IRA brokerage account to their recommended Trust company, for the stated purpose of buying precious metals. For reasons detailed below, I did not consummate the purchase with APM, but ultimately brought from a reputable, trustworthy dealer. APM states that their spread on all products is 5%. Prior to the pre-purchase call, I stated my plan to diversify with both gold and silver bullion, non-fractional, specifically Gold American Eagles, Canadian Maple Gold and Canadian Maple Leaf Silver bars and coins. The representative repeatedly stated that my goal should be to pay the most amount of money for the least amount of coins, in order to keep the melt value/ custodial valuation low for tax reporting purposes. Incidentally, I never indicated any interest in a large-scale taxable event. However, the topic of a Roth IRA conversion became a central point/ and driver of the presentation/ and subsequent recommendation. His undue emphasis on tax consequences gave the distinct impression that he was a tax expert. Giving tax advice without proper credentials can lead to serious legal implications. The call continued with the representative insisting on selling me a non-diversified, 100% silver assortment of coins, in fractional increments, (such as ½ ounce, 1 ¼ ounce), coins which I had never heard of. I later learned that these coins were exclusive to APM. APM maintains full control of the supply and demand of these metals. Outside of APM, these coins are not marketable. When the spot price for one ounce of silver was $98.88, APM was charging $157.85 for ½ ounce ($315.70/ ounce) of their exclusively-minted Silver Royal Canadian Mint Soaring Eagles, reflecting a premium over spot of 219%. APM’s buyback claim, under this scheme makes a mockery of the customer. Lastly: The pre-purchase call with APM took place in mid-March, when the spot price of silver was approximately $85.00, (rather than $98.88), the APM representative, did not bother to change his presentation slide, (which he said was designed for me), but which was dated January 22, 2026.
Very informative. Did not pressure into certain products. I chose what I had wanted to buy
