Gold Referrals
Gold and Silver Referrals
(Updated September 6, 2009): This page has evolved over time to now recommend several different sources of precious metals bullion: Initially, I recommended YOUnique™ Wealth Systems (YWS) for gold coins (formerly called, Joseph Wealth Systems™, or JWS) and The Anglo Far East Company (AFE) for custodial vaulting of both gold and silver bullion (as well as other investment services). Now I recommend the GATA.org recommended vendor list for both gold and silver coins and bullion.
Conditions for Recommendation
Let me state that my hearty recommendations herein are conditional, and based on my continued opinion that they are reliable and worthy of your trust. As the Lord Himself has even said in Scripture:
When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die. Again, when I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right, if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered against him; he has done what is lawful and right; he shall surely live….I will judge every one of you according to his own ways.” (Ezekiel 33:13-16, 20b, NKJV)
In other words, God Himself reserves the right to change His mind about a person (or nation, or thing) based upon their ongoing decisions and actions. In the same way, I soberly reserve the right to revoke my recommendations of ANY person or company, should I deem the circumstances so require. Therefore, by listing these companies here, I am giving you a sincere recommendation based upon their continued honorable qualification for that recommendation.
The Need for Sources
Let me now begin by clearly note why I am recommending these several companies to you: It is VERY important that you have ”on hand” real money (i.e. gold and silver) for post-economic collapse purchases of goods and services within the free-market “barter-based” economies that will most definitely emerge—and that is where Anglo Far East, YOUnique™ Wealth Systems, and others recommended herein, are useful. YWS has proven to be a very reliable supply of bullion in my own experience. Further, the GATA.org recommended vendor list includes compaies that offer bullion coins and bars, that have also been vetted (proven) and are often highly touted by other reliable industry experts.
On the other hand, if you have larger financial holdings to protect (e.g. a retirement account to role over, or a stocks to liquidate and reallocate), then you also need to look at non-USA-based “offshore” custodial vaulting for safe storage of precious metals—preferably in Switzerland. That is the role that AFE is better suited to fulfill, as well as the “custodial vaulting” companies listed in the GATA.org list. Thus, with all thse various recommended compaies herein, you can cover the majority of your precious metals needs.
However, let me also emphasize the need for you to obtain PHYSICAL gold and silver within your own locality if you can—especially for your “on hand” supply of gold and silver. As the old English proverb says, “A bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush.” Thus, if you can purchase these precious metals locally, you are highly advised to do so quickly while the prices remain low.
With that said, let me also explain to you the two sources I am recommending herein, beginning with YWS…
YOUnique™ Wealth Systems
In many parts of the word (like the Orient, Middle-East, Russia, etc.) gold coinage is as easy to obtain as fruit in the local market. However, many Western nations are finding shortages as the combination of high demand and government mint rationing are making good coinage hard to find.
For this reason, I highly recommend you consider adding one of my associate’s YOUnique™ Wealth Systems coin supply to your list of sources for both gold coinage and silver bars (see coin links below). Their gold coins and silver bars are minted at a highly-reputable mint in Switzerland, and shipped either Swiss Post or Federal Express (FedEx) anonymously to well over 40 nations of the world. YWS’ gold and silver bullion sources are extensive and they have relationships with several backup mints (including the Perth mint in Australia), so their coin and bar supply is not likely to diminish anytime soon.
The gold coins are also embossed with a biblical scene, and are of the biblical weights of the gold shekel and quarter shekel (making them a more convenient size than most of their government-minted counterparts). This gives them a religious significance that may help avoid government confiscation, such as happened in the USA in 1933 when President Roosevelt demanded the population’s gold—except for gold in forms that also held religious significance.
(To take a look at YWS, click only one of the following coins—whichever is currently the most appropriate to your location and language preference—because whichever link you click first will be the colleague’s website that shows whenever you visit YOUnique Wealth Systems thereafter.)
For North America (English), click the following coin:
For other international locations (English), click the following coin:
For other international locations (Spanish), click the following coin:
In this time of U.S. economic meltdown and global financial upheaval we now live, it is important that you build a quick and significant supply of gold coin and silver bars (and/or coins) since gold & silver is real money—which (as Robert Kiyosaki has said) God made, and not man. I have researched YWS heavily, and was so impressed with their product, distribution, and marketing system, that I even joined YOUnique™ Wealth Systems by becoming a merchant myself. (If you wish to view my own YWS web page, you can do so here: http://www.youniquewealth.com/richvermillion)
I have ordered quite a few coins from YWS since then, and have had no problems receiving exactly what I ordered within a reasonable time for the part of the world in which I live. I have not had any customs (i.e. import tax) issues either. It is my own satisfactory personal experience with YWS that now allows me to recommend YOUnique™ Wealth Systems—and specifically my associate’s YWS business—as a reliable source for good gold coin. Check out one of the above YWS websites for even more information.
Disclosure: I want to openly note again that the YWS websites to which I have linked this page belong to some of my key associate merchants (and from time to time, I rotate to which associates these links point). Consequently, I do receive an indirect financial benefit from your patronage of their YWS businesses—although the direct benefit actually goes to somebody else. Of course, if you click on my own YWS link above, the benefits go directly to me and my family.
As I close this section about YOUnique™ Wealth Systems, may I also suggest that you read my new blog post entitled God’s Money, and Private Coinage to learn more about the need for obtaining both gold and silver coinage in preparation for the Economic Tsunami that is soon to come to the USA and global economies.
The Anglo Far East Company
For large amounts of gold and silver bullion, I highly recommend you investigate and utilize The Anglo Far East Company, from which YOUnique™ Wealth Systems originated. This is the company that the Lord originally directed me to when He said, “Go find Peter Daniels’ gold bank” back in 2006. Again… I have investigated them thoroughly, and have even met a few of its directors. In the light of this fact, I recommend them for custodial vaulting of gold and silver, and their many other investment services as noted on their website.
NOTE: I do NOT receive any direct or indirect benefit for referring you to The Anglo Far East Company. I only can expect a Heavenly reward for passing the information along to you.
GATA.org’s Recommended Bullion Vendors
The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA.org) has assembled a list of highly qualified, vetted, and approved vendors of gold and silver bullion (see below). This list includes firms from around the world, and they vary in types of services they offer. Some are custodial vaulting services like Anglo Far East above (which company is also on their list, and listed first alphabetically). Others offer gold and/or silver bullion in bar, ingot, or coin forms (much like YOUnique™ Wealth Systems above, which is included in this list by extension from their AFE recommendation).
Please mention GATA when you contact any on this list because some of them have committed to donating a portion of their bullion sales to GATA to help further their excellent work.

Of course, you need to do your own due diligence to check these companies out BEFORE transacting any business with them. The fact that they appear on this list is sufficient evidence that they are companies of high regard and reputation. However, this does NOT mean they are a perfect fit for YOUR specific needs, nor a permanent guarantee of the integrity of these companies. So, please take the time to compare companies on the list via their websites, and do additional investigation via the Internet and/or phone calls.
Safety Measures
Lastly, with regard to custodial vaulting (storage) of your bullion: It is generally a good policy to be invested in multiple jurisdictions with your investments. In other words, consider choosing more than one company with which to do business, and choose companies who vault (store) the bullion in different locations. This is especially true if you have significant amounts of worthless paper currencies to convert to real money (bullion) via custodial vaulting. So for example, if you choose AFE as one of your companies (which I highly recommend) then you may want to choose a second or third firm to vault, which stores their bullion somewhere other than Switzerland (as AFE does) as a safety precaution. against an unknown future.
That said, I recommend ANYWHERE in the world other than the USA for vaulting, and I am not very keen on the UK (England) either. These two jurisdictions are highly likely to confiscate bullion for their own needs in an “emergency” as their own poor management of their finances causes their economies to implode. Canada, the Orient, and other locations are typically considered safer choices by savvy investors.
NOTE: Like AFE above, I do NOT receive any direct or indirect benefit for referring you to GATA.org’s list of preferred bullion vendors.
Blessings to you and all that is yours as you follow Jesus (in Hebrew, Yeshua) by obeying His Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit in your life.
In Jesus,
