I've been trading (buying and selling) with Merit Gold and Steve Young since 2008. In a world where professional service and integrity are becoming more rare, Merit Gold and Steve Young have both in spades! Most recently, I had a change of heart on a verbal agreement/trade I made with Steve Young (completely my fault). They together, Merit Gold and Steve Young modified my purchase to my complete satisfaction. I got exactly what I wanted despite the modification resulting in them making cons... Read More »

I have been in sales for almost all of six decades. Starting with mowing lawns at the age of 8 with my brother. I have been to numerous sales clinics and seminars through the years and have even done some teaching of rookie sales people. Every now and then a sales seminar is all emotional hype and sometimes we need that in our struggles. However all the excitement alone does not in and of itself produce results. Remember that nothing happens until someone sells something. Being a senior loo... Read More »

I have worked with Richard over the past week taking my first step to invest in precious metals. Richard was treasure trove of knowledge. He took the time to explain to me the ins and outs of investing in precious metals and did this in such a way that enabled me to make an important investment decision. Richard is a valuable asset and I feel key to the success of Merit Goal & Silver. Richard, I truly appreciate all you've done in making this such a pleasant and rewarding experience! Read More »

I have been working with Daniel for about 5 months, and have placed 7 separate orders with him. I couldn't be more pleased. He is very knowledgeable about the industry, and helpful in placing my orders. He will make suggestion about products that he thinks, might be a good fit for me, but ultimately lets me make my own decisions on what to buy, without hassle or arm twisting, unlike some other companies I have dealt with in the past. All my orders have shipped in a timely manner, and have a... Read More »

I am extremely happy and satisfied with all phases of the transaction with Merit Gold. Your acct. executive James Assalley made it real easy for me. I felt very comfortable investing with him. We had several telephone and e-mails to get it completed but it worked out real smoothly. Hoping to do more business with you in the future. I thank you James for all the help and work you did.

Just started investing in precious metals this year. Did lots of research, hoping to find someone who would answer lots of novice questions. Dan was just who I was looking for. Extremely knowledgeable, well informed on market conditions and trends. I know I can count on Dan to be a sounding board for all my concerns. Thoroughly pleased with Merit and Dan. I have recommended him to friends who were considering buying gold. What more can I say. Read More »

Jim's knowledge of this industry is superb and my purchases were based upon his outlook of the market, both good and bad. At times, I made no purchases, other times, my purchases increased based upon his commentary. Have not made a bad decision, either way. Even when purchases were made at near bottom, Jim always advised that prices could still go down, even though it was at a very good price point. I'm happy to say that with the last purchase, he was wrong about the prices going down, at l... Read More »

Steve Young, Ext. 208 (800-555-2631 or 800-564-8189) was such a pleasure to work with! Steve took the time to walk me through various purchasing options and provided accurate and knowledable information for me. Steve was up to date on all the markets and their current prices as well as how the markets have done in the past. As a woman doing business in an industry dominated by men, it can often be very challenging. Salesmen either treat me like an idiot or falsely assume that I only have a... Read More »

Merit wasn't my first stop; it was my last stop. I was very fortunate to be connected with an Account Executive named Frank Allen (800-555-2631 ex 329). Frank is not only very knowledgeable about his trade, he is very patient explaining the pros and cons to different strategy's of investing. I made one buy with Franks guidance. Within a m...

The Coins were 2013 and 2014 Coins and I feel great just holding then. So I ordered another Set of Gold & Silver Eagles and again I got exactly what I wanted. As before I went through Charly Chartoff and I can definently recommend him as a knowledgeable and helpful Executive. After twice going through Merit and being very... Read More »

My son had made a very small purchase of silver from Charlie and he recommended I give him a call. I was skeptical because I always consider these people to be in this business for themselves. My son Matt, said he felt Charlie was a strait shooter. I found him to be just that. He asked a lot of questions and explained Merit Financial and how they do business. He then introduced me to several options to purchase gold and silver and also told me what he thought were the advantages of each to... Read More »

My experience with Sr. Account Representative Gil Goren has been entirely satisfactory, and I recommend him highly. As have others, I find the shipping process badly needs someone with actual shipping experience to review it. The process is very slow, and while this might be expected with collectible coins, I do not think it should be this long for current date US mint coins. Read More »

Merit told me a shipment would be made in 18 business days. I told them thanks but others shipped in much fewer days. I was called back a few minutes later by Rayshun Sturgis and she told me that, if I placed the order, shipping would be in 7 business days at the latest. I gave Merit the order based on 7 business days shipping. I called after 7 business days and was told that the shipment would be made in 48 hours. I called again after 48 hours. It has now been another week and the shipment... Read More »

I called Merit Financial and was immediately helped by Ron Smith. The ordering process was easy, payment was fairly easy (wish you guys would do check by phone) and their service following through on my order was out standing. My only gripe is the shipping time. From the time they received my order (same day money wire from my bank) to the time I had the metal was just shy of three weeks. That's my only gripe, but for the price they gave me I'll suffer through that. Read More »

Great price, slow delivery... a good balance. I've bought silver bullion for many years; investing for the long term. This was my first time with these guys -- I went with Merit because their price over spot was low, they'd been in business for 20+ years, and my local broker wasn't selling at reasonable prices. It took almost 30 days from my first call to when I received the bars... but who cares?? It's not like we're day trading in precious metals. They locked in the price when they re... Read More »

He is certainly knowledgeable about the products that Merit offers and after getting some information from me regarding why we were investing at this time, he was able to steer me to products that were a better choice than what I had first thought when I called.
