I have followed Peter Schiff for over a decade and trusted his brand’s reputation for honesty. Unfortunately, my recent experience proves that his company, SchiffGold, is using that reputation as a facade to take customer funds for inventory they do not possess.

I placed a $5,000+ order on January 8, 2026. At the time of purchase, there were no disclaimers regarding backlogs or delivery delays; the website gave the clear impression that all items were fully in stock. My payment cleared on January 9, yet for three weeks, I was met with vague excuses. On January 24, they finally admitted in writing they did not have the physical inventory and were ‘special ordering’ a substitute.

In an effort to resolve this, I requested that my silver order be converted to 1oz Gold Maple Leaf coins—a reasonable compromise to bypass their silver shortage. SchiffGold has completely ignored this request. It is deeply disappointing that a company built on ‘honest money’ would lure a customer into a $5,000 transaction under false pretenses and then refuse to communicate or provide a refund. I am now escalating this to the New York Attorney General, FTC and the BBB. Do not trust the ‘in stock’ status on their site.

I placed an order just about two weeks ago. They accepted payment, notified me via email that they accepted payment. I’ve yet to receive my silver bars and I’ve emailed, called, left voicemails countless times in each category and have not gotten a response literally at all. I trusted Peter and am happy to come back and leave a better review, but by definition here it looks like I go screwed out of over $5k…

I shopped around for a long time and Schiff was always the best price all in…

It’s a little nerve racking to send a wire transfer to a company I’ve never dealt with before with promise of delivery in 1 month. However I trust Peter Schiff so I took the risk. It was worth it.

The salesman sent me pricing for 6 months and when I was ready to order he patiently responded to my many emails to make sure all my concerns were addressed. I sent the money and they followed up giving me updates as the gold was shipped.

It arrived ahead of schedule and the product was exactly as promised. Ask for Joel Bauman.

Have been a longtime buyer from Schiff Gold. Never any issues and consistently better priced than even JM Bullion.

Bought from SchiffGold for the first time recently. Very happy with the experience. My broker JD Bauman really went the extra mile for me. Coins were beautiful. Would recommend.

Best buying experience I’ve had. Their brokers really seemed to care and weren’t pushy. We discussed lots of different coins and I finally settled on Canadian Maples – seemed like the best bang for the buck. Order came as expected and broker even followed up to make sure everything was good.
