Goldco stands out among precious metal investment companies by providing some of the most extensive educational materials we have seen in this category. We were impressed by their thorough and well-organized presentation of the benefits of precious metal retirement investing, the variety of resources the company provides, and the relatively objective tone the company takes when discussing options for their customers.

Customers who work with Goldco can choose to invest in gold, silver, platinum, or palladium, but the company emphasizes gold and silver on their site. They do, however, provide real-time pricing information for all four metals on their site for direct purchase and placement in a precious metals IRA. Collector (numismatic) coins are not qualified by the IRS for retirement accounts and Goldco doesn't sell them. Customers can choose self-storage if they are purchasing for general, non-retirement investing. Otherwise, your precious metals are stored in IRS-approved secure facilities and are fully insured. Your investment is held in its own vault and not commingled with other investors' metals.

Trust is a critical component when selecting a precious metals provider. So it's worth mentioning that Goldco receives some of the highest marks for trustworthiness we've seen among the precious metal IRA companies we've reviewed. Both the BBB and Trust Pilot give Goldco top grades. Many reviews we read cited Goldco's professionalism and expertise at explaining the ins and outs of precious metal IRAs. Like us, customers seem to appreciate Goldco's efforts to help them make informed investment decisions.
