If You Lost Money on Gold Coin "Investments," We Can Help
Thousands of Americans have been deceived by gold coin companies using high-pressure sales tactics, false investment promises, and grossly inflated prices. If you recently bought gold or silver coins that turned out to be worth far less than you paid, you may be entitled to compensation.
The Coin Fraud Crisis
What's Really Happening
Gold coin companies are systematically targeting retirees and older Americans with sophisticated fraud schemes. Here's how they operate:
The Setup: Companies like American Hartford Gold, Birch Gold, Goldco, and US Gold Bureau advertise heavily on conservative media, targeting viewers concerned about economic uncertainty.
The Hook: They use fear-based messaging about inflation, government overreach, and economic collapse to convince you that gold coins are the "only safe investment."
The Deception: Sales representatives—who are not licensed financial advisors—convince victims to liquidate retirement accounts and purchase "semi-numismatic" coins (a fake term) at prices 100-300% above actual market value.
The Reality: When victims try to sell these coins, they discover they're worth a fraction of what they paid. The companies either refuse to buy them back or offer pennies on the dollar.
The Legal Violations
These companies are violating multiple federal and state laws:
- Unlicensed Investment Advice: Sales representatives acting as financial advisors without proper licensing
- False Advertising: Misrepresenting coins as "investments" when they're overpriced collectibles
- Deceptive Trade Practices: Using fake terms like "semi-numismatic" to justify massive markups
- Consumer Fraud: Targeting vulnerable populations with high-pressure, fear-based sales tactics
