THE CALLAHAN ASSETS DIFFERENCE

We believe you should be able to buy metals in the same way larger institutions and family offices do, and that is through bullion and volume. With the popularity of gold and silver on the rise, many companies you hear advertising over the air waves are pushing products that are designed to hide exorbitant fees. Callahan Assets will always only sell bullion in standard sizes. Investors should be afforded the right to protect their portfolio without having to worry about being taken advantage of by the companies servicing them.

Ethically, there should be a business built for the client, focusing on getting them the most metal for the best price.

At Callahan Assets, we understand that you have many options when it comes to investing inside your IRA or 401(k). That's why we treat each investor with the same level of dedication and respect. Our approach is education-first: we empower you with the knowledge you need before making the important decision regarding which metals to purchase.

Whether you are new to purchasing metal and are looking to safeguard your earnings against current market instability, or you are entering your legacy years and want to rest assured that your assets are secured, we’re here to help you get the most metals for the best price.

WHY I STARTED CALLAHAN ASSETS

I never intended to start my own company. I was happy working for a bullion provider, helping people roll over their IRA and 401K assets into precious metals. I enjoyed working from a pleasant office near my home, and I was able to pick up my son from school every day. It was perfect for me.

Tragically, I discovered the owner of that company was embezzling, so I reported him to the CFTC and FBI. After ensuring that all my customers had their metals, I found myself out of a job with a son about to graduate. I went looking for another job selling metals, only to find that many companies I met with or tried working for were operating on profit margins of 35% and even 45%. They used deceptive tactics to get people to purchase items like proof or numismatic coins that would never liquidate at the price they were sold.

When I asked one sales floor manager at a well-known metals company why he thought it was okay to do this with people’s retirement savings, he said, “If we don’t do it, someone else will.” Realizing that almost every metals company I could think of was doing the same thing, I knew I had to start Callahan Assets.

I founded Callahan Assets, a bullion-only company committed to providing a place where customers could get the most metal for the best price, period.

What You Need To Know About Investing In Precious Metals

Many precious metals companies may try to confuse their clients by presenting portfolio examples that include a variety of different weights and ounces of random coins. This tactic is often used to make their clients believe that a diversified portfolio is the key to success while also making it difficult to ascertain the weight and actual value of the portfolio. It is designed to mislead and confuse those who are not familiar with the intricacies of investing in precious metals.

Many companies may also try to push certain coins that they have a vested interest in selling, even if those coins may not be the best fit for the investor's needs. It is crucial for investors to be vigilant and do their due diligence before entrusting their hard-earned money to anyone.

If you’re actively looking to purchase metal and a salesman has suggested proof or numismatic coins, do your retirement savings a huge favor and call around to see who is willing to liquidate those coins and at what price.

Afterward, contact us for a no-commitment quote on traditional bullion today. Whether you buy from us or not, you should feel comfortable that you are getting the best metal for you money.

Buyer Beware

No matter who you trust to invest your gold, silver, or other precious metals, be aware of the practices that are prevelant in the market.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Gold/Silver IRA?

A precious metals IRA works just like your existing retirement account except instead of owning shares of stocks and/or bonds, you will own physical metal that is allocated to your specific account.

Am I eligible to put physical gold and/or silver in my IRA?

Possibly. If you have an IRA or an old 401k from a previous employer, you should be able to do a tax-free, penalty-free rollover. Additionally, if you are over 59 1/2, you may rollover without penalty.

What types of metals can I purchase for my IRA?

This is one of the most important questions we get.

At Callahan Assets, we specialize in providing our clients with a carefully curated selection of precious metal investment options that focus on bullion bars and or coins (gold and silver). This is because there is a lot of misinformation about proof and numismatic coins, which sadly exposes many customers at other companies to bait and switch tactics.

We traditionally only sell the following:

GOLD

• 1 oz gold bar

• 1/4 oz gold US American Eagle

• 1/2 oz gold US American Eagle

• 1 oz gold US American Eagle

• 10 oz Gold bar

• 1 kilo Gold bar

SILVER

• 1 oz silver bar

• 1 oz silver round

• 1 oz silver US American Eagle

• 10 oz silver bar

Why Doesn't Callahan Assets Sell Proof or Numismatic Coins?

When it comes to investing in precious metals, making informed decisions is crucial. One common question we get at Callahan Assets is why we don't sell proof or numismatic coins. The answer lies in our commitment to transparency, value, and providing the best investment options for our clients.

The Hidden Pitfalls of Proof and Numismatic Coins

Did you know any company can mint their own coin from the Royal Canadian Mint and set any price they'd like for it on the open market, regardless of how much value the weight of the metal actually has or how cheap it was for them to manufacture it? This fact alone should make any investor pause and reconsider where they are putting their money.

Proof and numismatic coins often carry significant premiums over their intrinsic metal value. These premiums are based on factors like rarity, design, and historical significance, which can be highly subjective and fluctuate over time. While these coins can be beautiful and hold collector's value, they are not always the best option for those looking to maximize their investment in precious metals.

The Real Value of Bullion

At Callahan Assets, we focus exclusively on selling bullion. Bullion refers to gold, silver, platinum, or palladium in the form of bars, ingots, or standardized coins. The value of bullion is primarily based on the metal content and current market price, making it a straightforward and reliable investment.

Our goal is simple: to get you the most metal for the best price. By selling bullion, we ensure that our clients' investments are directly tied to the market value of the precious metals, without the added complications and uncertainties associated with proof or numismatic coins.

Why Transparency Matters

In the world of precious metals investing, transparency is key. When you purchase bullion from Callahan Assets, you know exactly what you're getting. The price you pay reflects the current market value of the metal, plus a small premium to cover production and distribution costs. There are no hidden fees, speculative markups, or inflated prices based on arbitrary factors.

This transparency allows our clients to make informed decisions and feel confident in their investments. We believe that an honest, straightforward approach is the best way to build trust and long-term relationships with our clients.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls

Investing in proof or numismatic coins can be tempting, especially with the allure of owning a piece of history or a beautifully crafted item. However, these investments often come with risks that many investors are not aware of:

• High Premiums: The premiums on proof and numismatic coins can be exorbitant, significantly reducing the amount of metal you actually own for the same amount of money.

• Market Volatility: The value of these coins can be highly volatile, influenced by trends and collector demand, which may not always align with the broader precious metals market.

• Liquidity Issues: Selling proof or numismatic coins can be more challenging, as their value is often subjective and finding a buyer willing to pay the premium can be difficult.

The Callahan Assets Difference

By choosing Callahan Assets, you are opting for an investment strategy focused on maximizing your precious metals holdings. We believe that by providing high-quality bullion at competitive prices, we can help you build a robust and reliable investment portfolio.

Our commitment to offering only bullion means you can avoid the pitfalls associated with proof and numismatic coins. You get more metal for your money, greater market transparency, and a straightforward investment approach that aligns with your financial goals.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Callahan Assets does not sell proof or numismatic coins because our mission is to offer our clients the most value for their investments. By focusing on bullion, we provide a transparent, reliable, and cost-effective way to invest in precious metals. We encourage all investors to carefully consider their options and choose the path that offers the best return on investment. With Callahan Assets, you can trust that you're getting the most metal for the best price, every time.
