Disclosures:

True Gold Republic, Inc. (“TGR”) is a seller and purchaser of precious metals, coins, and related products. TGR is not an exchange, a brokerage firm or financial adviser and does not provide any investment, tax, or legal advice with respect to the suitability of the products. Investing in precious metals involves risk and the valuation of precious metals is based on many factors including without limitation supply and demand, economic and monetary policy, and political events. The impact of these events cannot be predicted with certainty on the value of precious metals and as such prices and value may rise or fall over time and TGR makes no representations or guarantees concerning the future performance of any purchase, including whether the products purchased will appreciate.

Precious metals should be considered a long-term purchase and buyers should be prepared and willing to hold the products for at least three to five years. Therefore, individuals should not tie up capital in precious metals unless they can hold the metals for this time period. Moreover, precious metals are not suitable for anyone seeking current income. The decision of whether to purchase or sell precious metals should be made by the individual buyer after independent research and analysis of the individual’s financial needs and circumstances and after obtaining independent financial or tax advice as is appropriate.

Transparency:

Known as True Cost Pricing, True Gold Republic leads the precious metals industry in pricing transparency, disclosing the spread and the markup it charges for the precious metals it offers as well as the commission account executives may earn. The mark-up is the difference between the acquisition/wholesale price True Gold Republic pays to procure precious metals and the retail price True Gold Republic charges the Client.  For example, if True Gold Republic buys a coin wholesale for $91.00 and then sells that coin at a retail price of $100.00, then True Gold Republic has applied a 9.9% mark-up on that transaction (100.00 – 91.00 = 9; 9/91 = 0.0989 x 100 = 9.9%).  The spread is the difference between the retail price client pays to buy precious metal and the buyback price True Gold Republic pays to reacquire the precious metal from client that day. For example, if True Gold Republic sells a product at a retail price of $100.00 and then is reacquiring that asset from clients at a buyback price of $95.00 that day, the spread is 5% (100-95 = 5; 5/100 = 0.05 x 100 = 5%). The mark-up and the spread are determined by True Gold Republic and are based on various factors, including, but not limited to investor interest and demand, available supply, and perceived value.

True Gold Republic classifies its products as either Common Bullion, Semi-numismatic, or Numismatic Collector Products. These classifications are internal to True Gold Republic and may differ from classifications used by other precious metal dealers.

The commission account executives may earn on these products is 1%-2%. Common Bullion Products may increase or decrease in value regardless of, and at times in opposition to, changes in the spot price of the precious metal they contain.

True Gold Republic’s Semi-numismatic Products are priced  above the value of the precious metal they contain. The mark-up on Semi-numismatic Products is 39%+, depending on the specific asset. The spread is 12-25%. The commission account executives may earn on these products is 1%-8%. Semi-numismatic Products may increase or decrease in value regardless of, and at times in opposition to, changes in the spot price of the precious metal they contain.

Numismatic Products. True Gold Republic’s Numismatic Products are priced at a significant premium above the value of the precious metal they contain. The mark-up on Numismatic Products varies greatly depending on the product but is generally 59%+. The spread on these products is more dependent on rarity and collector demand and interest.
