About
An independent guide, pointing to one company we trust.
The Gold Sovereignty Protocol is an independent educational resource for retirees exploring physical gold and silver IRAs. We are not Augusta Precious Metals, and we are not a financial advisory firm — we’re a paid affiliate who researches this space and sends readers to Augusta because of how they run their process.
What we are
An affiliate publisher. We earn a commission if you engage with Augusta Precious Metals through the links on this site — see our full disclosure on the Contact page.
What we’re not
We don’t give financial, investment, or tax advice, and we don’t handle your money, your account, or your metals — that’s entirely between you and Augusta.
Why Augusta specifically
Augusta Precious Metals has been in business since 2012 and is registered with the Better Business Bureau since 2015, headquartered in Casper, Wyoming. They specialize in facilitating precious metals IRAs — 401(k) rollovers and IRA transfers — acting as liaison with your custodian and handling the bulk of the paperwork.
What stood out to us researching this space: Augusta works with salaried, non-commissioned educators rather than commissioned salespeople, and every qualified prospect gets a one-on-one educational web conference with their director of education, Devlyn Steele, before making any decision. Augusta is not a financial advisor and doesn’t analyze your investment portfolio — the order desk shows you popular precious metals options, and you decide what to buy.
