      I received a flyer that AGR was selling $5 gold eagles at spot price w/h a limit of ten. Called to order 10 at spot ($229.00 each), almost immediately tried to get me to buy 2 $50 gold eagles, I said no to that. I did receive the 10 gold eagles in about two weeks time and was satisfied with the purchase. The purchase was back in mid June, since then they have called 3-5 times every week. After telling them I wasn't interested in purchasing any more gold coins, they continued calling me. I've since blocked their number and will not deal with AGR again.

      This company advertises in small local papers. They say how great a $5 gold coin is but when you call they tell you it is not a good buy. Then the salesman tells you a better buy would be the $10 gold coin with the highest grade of 70 and they have a small limited supply. This is a bunch of malarkey. They send you a 1/4oz $10 coin for 5 times the cost of 4 $5 coins. They're experts at double talk and confusion as they bait you in with free shipping and a free $5 if you upgrade to at least even one $10 coin which is not a good deal at all. Pay close attention and don't get ripped off like I was.

      Do not buy gold coins from this company. They advertise 1 oz coins but ship 1/4 oz coins. They over charged me by $6000.00 dollars.

      I would not recommend them to anyone. They try to hook you in with their ads for tenth ounce gold coins at spot prices and then try to sell you other coins. When you decline, they somehow mysteriously "lose" your check for the coins you ordered. They will not honor the price they quoted you even is you have the order number. I would give less than 1 star, but that is the lowest they show.

      Very happy with my recent transaction....shipping was incredibly fast. As far as high pressure, it's pretty easy to just say NO.

      Do not use this company. I’ve been dealing with them for a while. Here recently I had to turn some gold in for money. That was 3 weeks ago and they told me that the funds would be direct deposit. Well, it’s coming to an end for this April 2nd in which the funds would be deposited. They have not and I’ve made numerous calls with no help. I will never use them again and if you want to you better check it out. False promises and doomed outcome.

      They blinked my 90 year old dad. They sold him a 1/3 oz coin for $3995. Current gold price is $1890.70/oz on a coin with a $630.23 smelted value.
