Coin dealers typically purchase gold and silver from their clients for much less money than they sell them for. For example, a one ounce gold coin may cost $2,000. However, if you choose to sell that same coin back to the dealer, then they may pay you only $1,850, even if the price hasn’t moved. This is known as a buy/sell spread and it makes it harder to own precious metals if you need to have liquid capital.

At Alpine Gold, UPMA members may redeem their gold and silver that is purchased through us, for cash without any sort of spread for up to $10,000 in any 30-day period.

The savings from this service could cover 8 years of vaulting on a $50,000 gold account.
