About

An independent voice for American gold

The American Gold Council brings together savers, professionals and companies around a single idea: gold deserves an honest market.

Mission

Knowledge. Trust. Authority.

We publish research, set professional standards, certify individuals and accredit firms — giving the public a reliable reference point in a market too often clouded by marketing.

Transparency

Members disclose spreads, premiums, fees and storage terms before any sale.

Suitability

Recommendations reflect the client's circumstances, never the commission.

Integrity

No high-pressure tactics, fear-based marketing or misleading claims.

Accountability

Members respond to Council complaint reviews and accept remedies.
