Thank for you quick reply.Sorry for being so abrupt, but I haven't had much luck with Bitcoin and purchases lately. I have seen the emails that you have sent but assumed that they were just auto generated,looks like I was wrong.
I feel more assured now and apologize if I offended anyone.I look forward to more business with your Company.

Many thanks for the words of praise!

For future reference we do price matching. Lots of times dealer's competitive prices are based on whatever online campaign they have going.
 
Agora Commodities is built around customer service and the lowest prices in the industry.

People are taking advantage of the dip by trading their gold and silver in for BTC.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my continued satisfaction with Agora Commodities. These guys (girls) are great. I do not use Amagi metals anymore, but I will not talk bad about them other than to say that after my last order with them -- I would not even purchase a copper round from them! Even with a doubloon as a promotional gimme....

Agora Commodities ships very fast. Respects my privacy. Respects my email address (does not abuse it with unsolicited emails). Technologically sound, usable. Decent prices etc.

I do not want to live in a society where people leave only negative feedback. I want to live in a society where we say good things about businesses we use when we are supremely satisfied so far with those businesses. I would refer anyone to Agora Commodities. Anyone.

Very nice jj30!

It pleases us to have earned your trust and praise.

We don't agree with being negative either. In fact, on the first page of this thread we gave credit to Amagi for being an innovator in the bullion market as well as earning the trust and confidence of the Bitcoin community.

Take a look at our pricing. We adjusted prices to ensure we remain your best low premium bullion option.

The 2014 Silver Bitcoin Specie is now lower than silver eagles.

It looks like 2014 will be a bull year for precious metals which means premiums will go up. Take advantage of low commodity value and low premiums while you can!

[IveBeenBit]

Wow! Those prices are amazing! I really wish I were buying gold right now.

A couple of months ago I decided to divest myself of some of my holdings and convert to something a bit more liquid. I finally decided to buy gold with Bitcoin and set out to find the best vendor to achieve that goal.

A few searches led me back to Bitcointalk.org, where I’d been lurking for quite some time. Agora Commodities popped up as a dealer who was willing to accept payment of Bitcoin for precious metals. With many favorable forum posts praising Agora, I decided to begin the first of several buys with them. I figured that if Joseph and company did well by me, I’d use Agora for the rest of my Bitcoin conversions to gold. My initial order was for seven ounces of gold: BTC16.01 equating to around $10,000. I placed my first order on the morning of Wednesday, February 19th.

A mixed order
I chose to order a pretty eclectic mix of bullion. Specifically, my seven-ounce order consisted of:

• 5x 1/10 ounce Gold American Eagles
• 2x 1/4 ounce Gold American Eagles
• 2x 1/2 ounce Gold American Eagles
• 5x 1 ounce Gold American Buffalos

This is a tall order to fill, but I thought I'd give it a shot and see if Agora could handle it, regardless of order complexity.

Promises, promises
So, even though I knew it might take a while to ship, I was fine with waiting a reasonable amount of time for the gold. But I wasn't fine with hearing over and over that the order was "about to ship...," but didn't. Finally, after several delays and promises, I received the gold almost three weeks after placing the order. To be honest, it took a little longer than I expected it to take. But at least I got it.

Fake? Fake.
Since we're talking about mail-order bullion here, I thought it wise to have the gold tested for genuineness. Turns out, two of the coins were fake. Yes, fake.

The two 1/2 once American Eagles both failed the Fisch test, which assesses the diameter, the thickness, and the weight of a coin. If a coin is fake, at least one of those dimensions will be incorrect. The coins are the correct weight, but their thickness and diameters are greater than normal, indicating that at least some of the metal in the coins is a bit less dense than gold. My experts thought they might have tungsten centers, which would explain their larger dimensions.

And Agora dealt with it, right?
Wrong. Once we were sure the coins were fake, I contacted Agora through the website to ask how to exchange the two bad coins for the real thing. And the response from Agora? Nothing. Zilch. No response, no acknowledgement, no plan for how I might get replacements.

I'm not sure how to proceed from here. I've got $1400+ in fake bullion no one will take. I might be able to recover some of the gold for its melt value (assuming there is any gold there), but that's about the only thing I can think to do. I'd welcome suggestions from anyone in the forum, since I don't seem to be getting anything more out of Joseph or Agora Commodities. Anyone have any ideas?

Wow, that's a serious charge.  Were they loose or slabbed?  I ordered a 1/2 oz Eagle a little while ago but it was slabbed; I may have to crack it open to be sure.

I'm skeptical to believe his post for a few reasons:

All my orders, in a similar range to 10k were shipped much faster than 3 weeks.

No video proof.


I hope we can see this get sorted out here.  Will be a real bummer if it turns out true. This is a serious allegation and would hopefully be amended should it be proven false.
