I recently purchased 1oz. gold bars with assay card from APMEX. I was not satisfied with with several of them. I telephone APMEX with my concerns. Immediately the representative said I should return them for exchange. They provided a shipping label and an exchange number. I received perfect bars in exchange. All of the gold bars in this order I received were excellent. My research of the recent rise in gold prices shows many scams have appeared on the internet. One must be vary careful buying precious metals on the internet. I am satisfied that APMEX has high honest and ethical standards and treats its customers accordingly.

Pros

Value (low premium over spot)

Attractive Design

Recognized Brand Cons

Poor Condition Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
