Founded in 1998, American Gold Exchange is a leading precious metals and rare coin company specializing in dealer-to-dealer trading and direct sales to the public. AGE draws upon an immense supplier network in the U.S. and Europe, enabling us to reliably offer highest-quality gold, silver, platinum, and palladium coins at remarkably low prices. And customer service, we're proud to say, is our highest priority.

Value and performance
We focus on value and performance in the rare coins and hard assets we recommend. Unlike many other dealers, who have dozens of telemarketers pushing "program" coins, we carefully monitor the changing markets to find coins offering the best value and promise for you. We continually analyze gold market and macro-economic trends, and extrapolate from our 30 years of experience to present you with the best choices in the metals and coin markets at any given time. And we keep you up to date with (also available via email). These practices truly set us apart and have earned us our reputation as "your reliable hard asset advisor."

Highest quality
At AGE, we go to great lengths to carry only the finest coins within any given price range and grade rating. All of our pieces are hand-selected by Dana Samuelson, AGE’s President and lead numismatist, for superior collector desirability. A grading specialist himself, Dana typically rejects six to ten coins for each one he accepts to ensure that only items with excellent eye-appeal and overall quality are offered to our customers.

Unlike some coin companies with restrictive supplier agreements tying them to a few wholesalers, our more than 30 years in the industry and our reputation for reliability allows us to trade with almost all suppliers and dealers. This flexibility lets us offer a virtually unlimited supply of U.S. and World gold coins, silver coins, bullion, and exceptional rarities. And it ensures that we're not locked into any imposed pricing structure. The result for you, plainly put, is a better coin at a better price. If you have a specific or unusual need, call us. Chances are excellent that we either have in stock or can quickly locate the finest pieces, and at great prices.

At AGE, our goal is to help you to build and manage a profitable, private, and enjoyable hard asset portfolio–regardless of how much you plan to invest. Above all, our objective is customer satisfaction. Your prosperity is our prosperity; we intend to earn your trust and business for years to come.
