Review Detail
Selling gold coins to Apmex
I bought gold coins some years ago. With gold trading at a relatively high price I began looking for a place to sell. What I wanted was a known price and a reasonably quick transaction over a few days. I contacted a local gold buyer with an internet listing and was quoted spot price with a 10 percent transaction cost. I then looked at several online dealers and decided on the limited reviews I could find from sellers of gold coins to go with APMEX.
I was quoted a fair price which was a few percent below the gold coin price and very close to the current spot price. When I accepted the offer they sent a purchase order quoting the price and a fee of $28 for shipping through an insured UPS arrangement. I sent the coins which took two days to arrive and on that date I received a message that My coins were received. The next business day I was notified that payment would be made by ACH. The next day the deposit was in the bank.
I had some reluctance because of the distance involved but the transaction proceeded as described above which I considered just what was promised. Now my coins were uncirculated American Eagles so there was no isuu s with grading or weight which is why I buy the US Minted coins.
A good experience that brought a fair price in several days. I would use APMEX again for gold or silver Eagles for either a purchase or a sale.
