No Free Silver Because There Are No Excessive Fees!
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!

Excellent Presentation
The presentation I viewed today was very informative and professional. It answered all my questions, and I'm now very interested in opening an account. The firm is not commissioned based which is a real plus for me. I'm glad I was able to take part in the presentation; I really learned a lot.

My Experience with Augusta Precious Metals
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 impressed
The presentation was thorough and very well done. It was really informative and they had a good sense of the questions I had. I like their clear and straight forward 5% spread plan as opposed to the offers of other companies. I will very likely move forward with them when I rollover my 401K to a gold IRA in July.
