Review Time
In January, 2023, I invested $27.2k with Birch Gold, expressing an interest in buying Gold and Silver. I liquidated my holdings last week. While my money was invested, gold went up 110% and silver to went up 108%.I must have done fantastic, right?Actually, I made 29%. Less than that, if you count the $300+ I paid for storage.That left me with the realization that if gold and silver had both gone up 80%...I would have LOST MONEY!!The biggest problem was that 84% of my investment went towards 21 Gold Australian Florin 0.25oz .9999 coins and 37 Silver 2 oz. Twin Maple Leaf Reverse Proof coins. So, while gold went up 110% and silver went up 108%, the 2 items above netted me 23.6% and 7.4% profits. NOT A TYPO!!!!Meanwhile, the 1 (ONE!!) Gold Bar 1 oz. .9999 that I purchased netted me a profit of 93.2%.So, the lesson, as always, is BUYER BEWARE. If you don't want to be saddled with a bunch of a company's excess stock, that they're apparently unloading on novices/newbies, tell them!! I wish that I had done so. If that seems like an unfair accusation, what's the alternative explanation? There's only ONE possible answer. Off the charts incompetence.Everyone I spoke with on the phone, initially and upon liquidation, was exceedingly pleasant and professional.So, it sucks to leave a review like this. But, it also sucks to net < 30% profit for a timeframe in which gold and silver more than doubled.
Just started my experience with Birch Gold & Equity Trust. I listen to the Radio show Clay Travis & Buck Sexton. They say we're a client of Birch Gold. So I made the call, I was skeptical, heard the pitch, I took 2 months to pull the trigger. I was warned by Birch Gold that my investment would not reflect the market and to stay invested for 5 years to see the true value of my investment. Went online a month later setup my Equity Trust Account. My investment of $87K is $59,398.35 as of 9/30/2025. I expected a decrease due to fees but a $29,601.65. I assumed it would take a little time to recoup the difference. Gold could hit $10K an oz and I would not recoup this. By the way gold was valued at the on 9/1/ 2025 was $3,448.43 an oz. as of today $4,226.54 a diff. of $778.11 an oz. BIG STATEMENT... Markets will fluctuate so be patient. This is not the market but BAD Business. First statement should be this... your money is this and here is the amount after fees is this amount - BIG DIFFERENCE. They would have NO ONE investing if they knew the truth. Shame on the RADIO TALK SHOWS, BIRCH GOLD, & EQUITY TRUST. There should be a law suit...
Birch Gold Group is a legit scam. I naively thought upon purchasing gold that it was purchased at or near the spot price of gold. I was dead wrong and didn’t realize until 6 months later that this sham of a company charges the US mint price of gold plus their anstro fees instead of the spot price. The spot price of gold at the time that I bought was anywhere from $2700-2900. I bought 1.85 oz of American eagle. 2900+2900 is 5800 so technically at the time I bought 2oz of gold was worth $5800. You wanna know how much birch gold group charged me for 1.85 oz, which was .15 oz less than the 2oz at a spot price of $5800??? They charged me $8154 for 1.85 oz of gold. I bought 22 at a price of $170,388. 8154 - 5800 = $2354 in an upcharge fee. 2354 x 22 = $51,788. I paid this charlatan company $51,788 in upcharge fees. Gold is now at over $4000 yet I’m down in value because birch gold group charges an astronomical amount in fees. There were other coins I bought in addition to the coins mentioned above and altogether I was charged approximately 70-80k in fees. I invested approximately 230k in February of 2025. Gold is up over a thousand dollars since I’ve invested yet I only have 206k worth of gold in my account. I should be up in value but I’m down because this company scammed me out of my hard earned money. They are a predatory company that will do the same to you. I brought this scam to their attention and they offered my original approximate 230k money back but I had to sign something saying I could never speak of their scam in a public forum or id owe them 230 thousand dollars. Is that not hilarious. Avoid the scam of a company like the plague. They basically just stole nearly 80k of my money from the jump start and now nearly 8 months later I’ve decided to prematurely withdraw all of my money because this charlatan company doesn’t deserve my business. May those charlatans reap what they sow. And that 230k took my nearly 16 years to save. They’re evil.
I have been told to contact the financial advisors directly when I want to make a purchase. However, the process, in my case starts with Tina Pimentel with the purchase agreement and wiring funds. I realize the advisor must be in the loop, but not really, with an IRA until the depository receives funds.I would like to know what products you have available so I can focus my purchase on those rather than be told after I've chosen some of the product isn't available. My interest is mainly bullion. However, I'd like to be able to compare prices in the product lines. The website is for sales, not really designed for clients use. If you add a client website you might add articles/info to enhance our knowledge (such as the End of the Dollar Empire), some of Jim Rickards' books, charts showing the real value of metals, not the Government massaged data, and a reference library. If all precious metals dealers are the same, how are you different?
Birch Gold was amazing! Explained the process in detail, listened to and answered every question I had, and summarized the transaction to make sure I had all the information I needed. Looking forward to doing more business with them soon and would completely recommend them if you are interested in investing in precious metals! They are very trustworthy and knowledgeable!
