How it works

Augusta’s actual process — not a sales funnel.

Step 1

A free, one-on-one educational web conference

Every qualified prospect meets with Augusta's director of education, Devlyn Steele — a Harvard-trained economic analyst — before making any decision. No pitch, no pressure, just a walkthrough of how a self-directed precious metals IRA actually works.

Step 2

Augusta handles the paperwork

Augusta acts as liaison with your custodian to open the account and manages roughly 95% of the paperwork involved in moving funds from an existing 401(k) or IRA.

Step 3

You choose your metals

You select from Augusta’s most popular gold and silver products. Metals ship free, fully insured, to Delaware Depository — Augusta’s preferred storage facility.

A customer’s own words

“My name is Brian Panabecker. I live in Macomb County, Michigan. I’ll be turning 60 years old in about a week — I’m nearing retirement after hiring in at Ford Motor Company, where I’ve been working for 23 years now.… I’m going to have a small pension from the 11 years I worked at Chrysler Corporation, and I’ll have 24 years with Ford when I retire in 18 months, but neither one of them are going to be big enough to rely on. So I’ve got some money in my 401(k) that I recently rolled over into an IRA with Augusta Precious Metals. If I schedule an appointment, I can go to the depository where my silver is being held and actually see it — hold it in my hands. There are several companies out there that offer investing, and you see a lot of advertisements on television, but Augusta made the process very simple. They answered all my questions, they explained everything to me very clearly, and I just felt very comfortable with Augusta. I’m looking forward to some traveling, some time with my family, some good years of retirement. Augusta’s gonna help me do that.”
