Website Product & Investment Information
As is to be expected from a major international bullion dealer carrying over 20,000 products, the APMEX site is as large as it is comprehensive. All products are beautifully photographed with detailed information and full specifications available alongside realtime pricing including automated volume discounts.
Outside of their e-commerce function, the APMEX site carries excellent service and product information across their range of value-added services, from Gold IRAs and secure storage to investor tools, widgets and market alerts. They also publish a wide range of educational information, guides, analysis and market news.
Overall the APMEX website is capable of being used as a single central investment portal for any level of investor and for those requiring further information, their team of investment experts, brokers and numismatists are only a toll-free call away.
Website Useability
For such a large website APMEX.com is remarkably easy to use thanks to clear navigation and a clean modern un-fussy design.
On a desktop the site’s main menu expands down to reveal detailed sectional navigation – while on a phone, there’s a simplified menu that scrolls from the left to reveal hierarchical navigation simply and logically.
Text sizes are large with excellent contrast between dark gray text on white backgrounds or white on dark blue or dark gray. Images all carry alt text and the site expands nicely using browser magnification. Although there is not currently a specific accessibility menu, the existing design makes the site very easy to use for most.
Legals and FAQ are easy to find as is full contact information.

HATE the website! I have to scroll past dozens and dozens of pages of junk to find what I want. and DO NOT download their app!!! they will blow up your phone. Prices are decent IF you can find what you want but make sure you say NO to all the nonsense newsletters and stuff when you buy.
RoyInNC – :
Purchased from them a few times about 6-8 yrs ago and always had satisfaction without exception.
Rick W – :
I have been buying and selling coins with this company the past ten years and never had any issue with the quality of the coins they sell or their customer service. APMEX has always been very responsive to my concerns and they take their customer relationships seriously. Over the years I’ve worked with several coin companies who have eventually let me down but I’m happy to say APMEX isn’t one of them.
hans boehner – :
when the price moved in my favor, APMEX claimed they can not find the payment, after weeks of follow ups, and irrefutable proof or wire transfer, they finally admitted to have the money. but as the price had moved against them, they did not want to honor the contract. I should be grateful that they at least refunded the money. conclusion: don’t expect APMEX to honor a deal made.
Joseph D – :
Excellent customer service and quick shipping. Got played by another dealer, lost thousands, then I found APMEX and since I’ve spend 10s of thousands with them.
