When it comes to purchasing precious metals, trust is essential. A trustworthy dealer ensures that you’re buying genuine, high-quality gold, silver, or other precious metals. They also offer transparency, fair pricing, and top-notch customer service. Reputable dealers hold industry-recognized credentials that signal their commitment to these standards.

The United States Gold Bureau takes the reputation and legitimacy of our business very seriously. Below are our credentials, memberships and partnerships that testify to our credibility and our dedication as a legitimate precious metals dealer.

Members of the International Precious Metals Institute

Membership in the International Precious Metals Institute (IPMI) is a sign of a dealer’s commitment to professional development and staying up to date with industry standards.

The IPMI is a global association that focuses on advancing knowledge and understanding of precious metals across multiple sectors. Dealers who are members gain access to cutting-edge research, technical data, and best practices, ensuring customers are working with informed experts.

Members of the National Coin & Bullion Association

Being part of the National Coin & Bullion Association (NCBA) demonstrates a dealer’s dedication to maintaining ethical standards within the industry. 

The NCBA advocates for sound and transparent business practices, consumer protection and a competitive market. Members are required to adhere to strict codes of conduct, giving customers confidence that they are dealing with reputable professionals.

Affiliation with the Texas Bullion Depository

The Texas Bullion Depository is the nation’s only state-sponsored precious metals depository. Our parent company, Lone Star Tangible Assets, was awarded the contract to build and operate the depository and our offices are under the same roof.

Partnered with Edmund C. Moy 

The U.S. Gold Bureau has partnered with former Director of the U.S. Mint, Ed Moy, to offer hand-signed certification labels on our Investment Grade products. Coins with Ed Moy signature labels have made headlines due to their extreme popularity and premiums investors are willing to pay at auction.
