ABOUT US
We answer the question: which Gold and Silver dealers can you trust?
We are an independent research publication covering the precious metals retirement industry. We don't sell gold. We evaluate the companies that do.
Our Story
Bullion Verdict and Simple Metal Investing were founded after our editor-in-chief seeing a family member get talked into buying junk coins and put onto a phone list used by scammers. The experience exposed how few resources existed for ordinary retirement savers trying to do their homework.
Today, our small team of researchers publishes these reviews for your convenience. Each ranking is based on transparent fees, custodians, depositories, complaints, and buy-back commitments.
Pricing transparency
Published fees + spread testing
Custodian quality
Only IRS-approved, multi-decade self-directed custodians count.
Storage & insurance
Depository selection, segregation options, Lloyd's coverage.
Complaint record
BBB, BCA, and Trustpilot researched.
Buy-back program in place
Our 5-Pillar Methodology
Independent reviews of the leading Gold and Silver dealers. We compare fees, custodians, storage, and customer service so retirement investors can choose with confidence.
