JM Bullion takes a well deserved e-commerce gold in the first of their two 2025 top-medal wins
  • Well-designed and easy to use e-store filled to capacity with both precious metals and investor information
  • Offers a true one-stop-shop for metals investors offering a full suite of services over and above retail, from storage to retirement accounts
  • An investor's all-rounder - quality products, low premiums and no hype
  • A true e-commerce leader - often imitated but never bettered
  • Excellent weekly deals and special offers ensure regular shoppers can build a metals stack at the best possible price
JM Bullion are the gold standard in precious metals retail sales, with an extraordinary range of stock in a well designed and well-priced online store. There's little in terms of bars and coins that cannot be found on the site and in most cases cannot be bettered for price. A long-term favorite of my team here, it's great to see the company lift yet more gold medals in 2025. Alan Macallister - Bullion.Directory

JM Bullion Are the Costco of Precious Metals, Selling Some of the Best Coins in the US at the Lowest Prices
  • Huge selection of collectible, commemorative, proof and certified coins in stock
  • Regular special deals unavailable elsewhere thanks to economies of scale and low-threshold for free shipping
  • A+ BBB rating, with multiple thousand 5-star ratings and reviews across all major consumer protection sites
  • Strongly focused on education with numerous buyer's guides and a highly entertaining blog
  • Part of the vast A-Mark business empire - meaning JM Bullion is going to be around for a long time.
I'm in no way surprised JM Bullion won this category given the massive inventory of coins they carry, the low premiums they charge on both collectibles and regular bullion - and of course the ease with which purchases can be made and shipped all across America. While they'll never be able to offer the kind of 1-on-1 care you'll receive at a local coin shop, they get as close to it as the internet will allow along with all of it's advantages.

HIGH NET WORTH

NOBLE GOLD - Best High Net Worth Specialists

Noble Gold see a deserved first win in this smaller but significant niche within the retail gold arena. The HNW market sees red hot competition for traditionally big spending customers.

With only 70 votes between Noble and past winners Birch Gold, it was ridiculously close!

Bullion.Directory Rating
Noble Gold excel with HNW customers due to superb service quality combined with aggresive volume discounts
  • Offers levels of transparency and trust commonly lacking in their particular fields of operation
  • A focus wholly on tax-advantaged portfolio diversification with bullion
  • Minimal fees and regular special offers on storage
  • High standards of customer care catering to a market used to the exceptional
  • Smallest minimum investment level - perfect for test buys before taking a larger position
For a late-entry substitution in our last vote, Noble Gold shot onto the leader board and so narrowly missed out on a medal position it pained me. This year, they've more than made up for it, winning the HNW gold and an additional two silver medals. Superb result for a superb company. Alice Walker - Bullion.Directory
