Direct Delivery

Cole Metals Group exclusively recommends precious metals produced by trusted national mints such as the U.S. Mint, the Royal Canadian Mint, and the Royal Mint. Coins from these mints are guaranteed for grade, weight, and authenticity by their issuing governments. To ensure this, mints employ a combination of overt and covert anti-counterfeiting measures. For example, the U.S. Mint incorporates visible features like reeded edges on American Eagles, as well as advanced, less obvious security measures developed in collaboration with the U.S. Secret Service. The Royal Canadian Mint is renowned for its Bullion DNA technology, which provides exceptional verification capabilities for Maple Leafs. Similarly, the Royal Mint embeds four distinct anti-counterfeiting features in each of its coins, ensuring their authenticity and security.

All four precious metals—gold, silver, platinum, and palladium—are available for direct delivery in bars and coins.

At Cole Metals Group, there is no maximum order size for Direct Delivery. However, we do have a $10,000 minimum purchase requirement. This policy allows us to focus on helping investors diversify their portfolios while maintaining our commitment to delivering competitive pricing and lower margins. By setting this minimum, we ensure we can provide the highest level of service and value to all our clients.

Your precious metals will be securely packaged and shipped in discreet, tamper-evident packaging to ensure privacy and safety. Orders are typically delivered in their original mint or refiner’s packaging, preserving authenticity and integrity. For higher-value shipments, Cole Metals Group offers armored, white-glove service, providing secure delivery to the location of your choice, complete with full insurance coverage and signature confirmation.

Cole Metals Group does not charge a separate delivery fee. The quotes we provide to clients are transparent and all-inclusive.

At Cole Metals Group, we take every precaution to ensure the safe and secure delivery of your precious metals. However, if you notice any signs of damage or tampering on the exterior of the package upon delivery, do not sign for it. Instead, return it to the driver immediately.

All packages are packed under video surveillance and are fully insured to protect your investment. In the rare event of a compromised shipment, we will promptly replace your order and arrange for a new delivery, ensuring your satisfaction and peace of mind.

At Cole Metals Group, we accept bank wires and ACH payments. These methods clear quickly, ensuring we can meet our 3-7 day delivery commitment. By contrast, checks, including cashier’s checks, often take additional time to post, which can disrupt the timely processing and delivery of your order.

We do not accept credit or debit card payments for two key reasons. First, credit card processing fees would increase the price of your precious metals, which we strive to keep as low as possible. Second, credit cards encourage debt—a practice counter to the principles of wealth preservation and portfolio security. With rising national debt contributing to the dollar’s decline, physical gold serves as a safeguard for long-term financial stability. By choosing precious metals, you’re aligning with a philosophy that emphasizes financial responsibility and protection against economic uncertainty.
