Integrity, Reliability and Knowledge

John Harris and Terry Plotsky were total lifesavers for my wife and I. I heard Gold Silver Group's ad on the radio and it really spoke to me. I don't know about you but I'm worried about where this country is headed and I want to make sure that I protect a portion of my hard earned wealth from whatever may come. Enter Gold Silver Group. John Harris guided me through the whole process and I was able to convert some silver I had bought from another company that was worth WAY less than what I bought into gold. The transaction was smooth and easy. They delivered upon what they promised. I was shocked by how quickly the metals showed up on my door. I couldn't ask for anything more in a company: 1) They gave me an honest assessment of the value of my metals. 2) Showed me a way to re-position myself to take advantage of the current trends in the market. 3) Delivered upon everything they said they would in a swift and timely manner. I can't say enough good things about this company. I'd definitely use them again in the future and have already recommended them to my daughter for her own investments.

Gold Silver Group's Exclusive OPTION IRA

Gold Silver Group website advertises up to 30% tax savings at IRA distribution (if you buy the coin that they recommend) because of an IRS TAX LOOPHOLE (see point 5). GSG's sales pitch to me was the Polar Bear and Cub coin has bullion/melt value just like a Silver Eagle or Gold Eagle plus a collectible value since a limited amount were minted. The GSG salesmen said the bullion/melt value is taxed at IRA disbursement while the collectible value is not taxed and the collectible value of the coin could be up to 30% when I take the IRA distribution.
To know a reasonable estimate of what the current collectible value is to you (you want to know the buy back price that another precious metal's dealer will pay you for the coin) find out the price that another precious metals dealer will pay you for the coin if they were to buy it from you. Compare the price that the other dealer will pay you for the coin to what the other dealer will pay you for a Silver Eagle or a Gold Eagle. Since Polar Bear and Cub comes in weights other than 1 oz. you will want to figure the price per oz. for each coin to make the comparison of it's current value.
GSG reminded me doing the due diligence was my responsibility after I filed a complaint with the BBB of Silicon Valley and Los Angeles in 2016.
The GSG salesmen said GSG would buy back the Polar Bear and Cub coin at the same price I paid for it adjusted for the bullion/melt value whenever I wanted to sell it minus his buy back fee of 12%.
GSG answered my complaint to the Better Business bureau where I asked for a 5% buy back fee. GSG wrote that they would buy back the coin when I could profit from the transaction.
Gold Silver Group fulfilled the obligations of the verbal contract I made with the GSG account representative.

REPOSITIONING FOR FUTURE SUCCESS!

I had purchased some Silver from another company back in 2010, hoping that the price of silver would continue to rise. I was wrong. My silver steadily decreased in value year after year. I wasn't sure what to do, it was brutal watching it fall and fall. Then I got a call from Ricardo at Gold Silver Group and he had a some suggestions for me how to reposition my metals to hopefully correct the mistake I'd made in 2010. I gotta tell you he was knowledgable and available and I was at first very leery of making any moves but he walked me through exactly what would happen and then delivered on his promise. I know no one has a crystal ball but the most I can hope for is a knowledgeable guide to help me make the most out of my assets. I am grateful and that is why I'm going out of my way to write a review. Others should know because it's hard to tell who you can trust out there. I've had nothing but a great experience with this company.

Do Not Buy From Gold Silver Group

My wife did business with an account rep on May 11 of 2016 at Gold Silver Group. Gold Silver Group swindled my wife out of $4,728.47! Gold Silver Group lied about calling for silver purchase approval review and proceeded to buy some "junk" silver coins that go by the following Calgary Stampede Silver Canadian 1/2 OZ. (24 each) at $2.00 1.5 OZ. Silver Canadian Polar Bears (210 each) at $25.54 each a coin. The Gold Silver Group reps also lied about the value once it was sitting in the secured location saying that the coins were at a higher price that would equal out to the $10,564.79 which simply was a total lie on companies behalf. DO NOT do any business with Gold Silver Group or any of its reps calling you! They are total crooks who steel money from hard working Americans. I do not know how these shysters sleep at night!! Take in a hard working ladies $10,564.79 paper assets and turn around and steel $4,728.47 in the process of transitioning paper assets to mere $5,589.60 in silver coin values. That is an absolute crooked company. You have been warned people DO NOT buy from these crooks from Gold Silver Group.

Such a pleasant surprise to work with a company that actually cares about its clients

I called into Gold Silver group after I'd heard their radio ad. I've been thinking about investing in precious metals for years because I think we can all see the trajectory this country is going. To be honest, I'm afraid that the dollar is going to be devalued to nothing if things continue on this way with our country. I was thinking about this exact thing (I work hard for my money and want to keep it!) when I heard the Gold Silver groups radio commercial. So, I wrote down the number and called them the next day. A man named Terry answered and said he was the owner of the company. I told him I was interested in buying a relatively large amount of metals to hedge against the dollar devaluing. I was actually amazed by his response, he told me to wait a few days to buy because he had a feeling gold prices were about to move dramatically and he didn't want me to get stuck in a bad deal. Now, I have to tell you, never has a salesman told me to WAIT to buy. Usually, they are clamoring for my account information and telling me I better buy now, now, now! So, I listened to Terry and I waited. Three days later the price of gold went down almost $20! I called him back and said, "You were right!" He just laughed a little and said, "my business only works if you get the best service and best deal possible. This way you might tell other people about us" That is what I'm doing right now. Letting you know that this company actually cares about its clients. I have been taken care of extraordinarily well. Since I bought, the price of gold has gone up more than 15% from what I bought it at. Where else can you make 15% return on your investment?! I really have to thank Gold Silver Group and Terry for doing right by me. Most people come on here only to complain but not me. I'm actually going out of my way to write a positive review because this company deserves it. I am extremely happy with their service and will continue to do business with them in the future.

I contacted Gold Silver Group regarding …IRA Rollover and gold/silver

I contacted Gold Silver Group regarding my IRA. I spoke with Terry Plotsky who was warm and friendly and very knowledgeable. I tested them out with a smaller transaction to see if they delivered on their promise. They did and then some! The service was excellent and the metals shipped very quickly. I am very satisfied with my experience with Gold Silver Group and have since rolled my IRA over. I highly recommend this company.

Happy, Repeat Customer

For years I had been hearing about how I need to add gold and silver to my portfolio to properly have it diversified. So I reached out to Gold Silver Group and connected with Joe Dougherty. We spoke on several different occasions and he always listened to my concerns and answered my questions without hesitation. I hadn't realized that I could actually hold it in my IRA! It took me a while, but after some research, I finally took the plunge and purchased some silver. The transaction was so smooth and effortless that I wound up purchasing some more. I will definitely do business with them again. Thank you!

Very happy with gold purchase.

I recently made a gold purchase with Joe D. and could not have been more happy with the experience. He was knowledgable and very easy to work with. If you are in the market for an alternative investment you should definitely check them out and talk to Joe.
