Augusta Precious Metals focuses on physical precious metals, especially gold and silver, for self-directed IRAs and purchases with personal funds. The company says its model centers on education before a transaction, assistance with account setup and eligible funding, and ongoing support. Its published FAQ identifies a $50,000 standard initial purchase and describes IRA custody and depository storage as separate third-party arrangements with recurring fees. Augusta says customers can review product-specific purchase prices and same-day buyback bids, but future bids are not guaranteed. Physical metals can decline in value and do not pay interest or dividends.

Goldco describes itself as a precious-metals company focused on gold and silver for retirement, offering precious-metals IRAs alongside direct physical-metal purchases. Its materials describe support for account setup and rollovers, and explain IRA rules, funding, and storage in a public FAQ. The company says IRA metals are held at bullion depositories and that it works with established depositories and experienced custodians. Its cost article states a $25,000 general IRA minimum and itemizes fees, while its FAQ gives a different annual account-fee estimate; request a current written schedule for the intended custodian and storage option. Goldco says it will repurchase metals bought from it, but its highest-price guarantee applies only after three years and no specific rate is guaranteed.

GoldenCrest Metals is a precious-metals dealer that helps consumers arrange self-directed gold and silver IRAs and also offers direct purchases of physical metals. It identifies Entrust Group as IRA custodian and Delaware Depository as storage provider. The company describes a guided, one-specialist process and says it provides written metal pricing before purchase; these are provider-stated service features. Its stated IRA minimum is $25,000. Prospective customers should request a current written quote that separates metal pricing from custodian and storage charges, and confirm any promotional eligibility. GoldenCrest notes that metals can fluctuate in price, pay no interest or dividends, and involve ongoing costs.

Noble Gold Investments focuses on precious-metals IRAs and direct sales of physical metals, with specialists to guide account opening and rollovers. Its official materials describe Gold and Silver IRAs, cash purchases with home delivery, and products spanning gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and rare coins. A company article dated October 18, 2026 states a $20,000 IRA minimum and a $10,000 cash-purchase minimum. Noble Gold describes segregated storage and a buyback program. However, its fee disclosures conflict, and pages differ on whether IRA metals can be stored at home. Request the current written fee schedule, eligible storage options, and buyback pricing process before proceeding.

Birch Gold Group is a U.S.-based precious-metals dealer whose materials describe purchases of physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, including precious-metals IRAs and direct home-delivery orders. For IRA customers, the company describes a guided process in which a Precious Metals Specialist assists with transfers and metal selection, while an independent custodian manages the account and metals are held at an approved depository. Birch currently states a $5,000 minimum, subject to change, and publishes typical IRA fee components; actual charges depend on selected providers and arrangements. It invites customers to request buyback quotes but does not publish a fixed repurchase price in the reviewed pages.

American Hartford Gold (AHG) describes itself as a retailer of physical precious metals focused on Gold IRAs and direct purchases of gold and silver. Its company page presents home-delivered metals and IRA-held metals administered by a custodian and held at an IRS-approved depository. AHG says clients work with a dedicated Precious Metals Specialist and describes assistance with eligible retirement-account transfers. Its FAQ states a $10,000 minimum for a self-directed Gold IRA, while storage fees vary by account and holdings. AHG describes liquidation without added liquidation fees, but says it cannot guarantee repurchase. Precious metals can lose value; AHG disclaims investment, legal, and tax advice.

Advantage Gold describes itself as a precious-metals IRA rollover specialist whose service includes education, account setup, help transferring eligible retirement funds, and support through the account lifecycle. Its site describes a guided process and lists IRA-eligible gold, silver, platinum, and palladium; for IRA storage it identifies partner depositories and recommended custodians. Important details remain unsettled in the reviewed pages: they do not specify a current minimum or an account-specific fee schedule, and the buyback FAQ gives no pricing formula or execution terms. Request written terms before comparing costs.

Lear Capital is a precious-metals retailer offering direct purchases and self-directed precious-metals IRAs. Its IRA materials describe account-opening and rollover assistance, identify Equity Trust as custodian, and name Delaware Depository for storage. Lear's July 2026 fee article itemizes setup, wire, maintenance, and storage charges, with different totals for segregated and non-segregated storage. Its FAQ describes a lower total under the stated electronic-statement and non-segregated-storage assumptions. Clarify product-specific purchase pricing, since Lear says spreads vary, and current resale pricing, since Lear says a future buyback is not guaranteed. Lear states it does not provide financial advice.
