I would give them a 0, but it's not an option.
We purchased 140 ounces of silver on 9/17/25, we were told it would ship in 5-8 weeks. When I called them at 5 weeks, they told me their policy changed to 8-12 weeks, and when I called just before Christmas, they told me that they would be closed until the first week in January and my order would ship then. I called on January 5 and was told that they would get back with me at the end of the week. By then we were so frustrated we contacted the BBB and Florida State Attorney Office. I received a call back from the State Attorney telling me they are investigating the numerous complaints they have received; they must have contacted Gainesville Coin because I got a call back from Nate saying they were cancelling my order. With the price of silver skyrocketing since we placed our order, I don't believe they had any intentions on filling our order. They just used our money for 4 months.
I would discourage anyone from using this company, because it's highly unlikely you will actually get what you purchased.
Do not invest in them. They are liars and full of fake promises. L invested and I have noting to show for it. My money gone since August and no respond from their customer support. All thanks to Henry who referred me to Skycytrack, they are reliable and I have been refunded.

I ordered 25- 1 oz Gold Eagles and 25- 1 oz Suisse Gold
Bars on October 30,2024 for $143,020.65. They received
The wire transfer within 7 days. To date, 10 months later, I
Have only received 10 Gold Eagles. I have repeatedly
Emailed and called. I have spoken with Nate several times,
Each time he tells me they will ship in the next week.
Nothing has shipped and I am worried that I have been
Scammed. I have done business with Gainesville Coins in
The past with no issues. Something has changed and I don't
Know what to do other than get the authorities involved at
This point. BEWARE if you buy from Gainesville Coins!
Purchased 100 gram gold bar. Waited 3.5 months and never received. Spoke with Nate, told me he was sending gold bar. Price of gold went up so they kept my bar and sent back my money. This seems illegal. Have purchased from this company many times in the past. No customer loyalty or service exists.
We have used Gainesville in the past with good results, but our April '24 order's promised dates have come & gone and our answers from Gainesville are very vague & non-committal, like "best info I have is that it's processing". Something smells bad here. Interestingly their website now makes you click on a 7 WEEK cycle before you can access their full website. Take your $$ elsewhere.
I ordered $459.00 of silver coins and sent them a check. They got the check on January 2 2024, they wait 10 m days for the check to clear, That would be January 12Th,wouldn't you think they would be putting the order together now. On January 29TH,I asked where my order was and got z song and dance. It is now February 6 2024 and STILL NO ORDER!
BUYER BEWARE Gainesville Coins IS NO LONGER A LEGIT METALS DEALER. 4 MONTHS AND NO SHIPMENT. THEY DONT RESPOND TO EMAIL. THEY PICK UP THE PHONE AND IMMEDIATELY HANG UP. IF YOU GO IN PERSON THIS IS THE RESULT. HEADED TO OUR APPOINTMENT WITH THE FINANCIAL CRIMES INVESTIGATORS NOW. FOR EVERYONE IN THE REVIEWS EXPERIENCING SAME, PM ME. THERE ARE SO MANY CUSTOMERS IN THE SAME POISTION WE CAN PUT A CLASS ACTION TOGETHER. FIND ME ON *******@AABB FOR THE FULL VIDEO OF HOW THEY TREAT CUSTOMERS IN THEIR STORE.
I ordered (20) silver rounds on 28Oct2023. My check was received on 03Nov23. There was a (10) day hold, after which I expected my coins to ship (17Nov2023). It is the 21Dec2023 and no word when my coins will ship. Never order coins from Gainesville Coins! There are so many reputable bullion dealers out there - why deal will a company like Gainesville Coins that doesn't deliver.
Ordered some silver coins on December 1 and was told 2-3 weeks, called and now it's 4-6 weeks. Asked about refund policy and they said there would be a return penalty. WHAT? Never recieved it how can they assess a return penalty. Definitely going to contact Florida AG office. These people also refused to tell me how large or small a company they are/were. Judging on some of the other single star posts, will not do business with them again. Very disappointed! Stay from these guys.
My check for 20 gold eagles one ounce cleared 10/10/24. Today is 12/14/24. Coins have not been shipped. If they had them in stock and were advertising them.,why weren't they shipped!,,,…?. Nate will not answer emails or communicate. BE CAREFUL VERY VERY CAREFULL if you chose to do business with GAINSVILLE. Rating subzero
Two months since my order was placed and paid for and I still haven't received the coins. Do I need to say more?
Spent close to $14k on silver, it's been almost a month and I am still waiting to receive my order. Their excuse is low inventory - why did they advertise 'in stock' if they didn't have it 'in stock'? I think they are waiting for the price of silver to drop so they can get a bigger margin.
I have not been able to find a better company like Gainesville Coins, they are simply the best, their customer service is top-notch, their prices are very competitive and shipments arrive on time, I recommend doing business with them.
This company has very well trained staff in all precious metal products, shipping arrives just on time, they have great products and handle the best prices throughout Florida.
I have bought at Gainesville Coins and I have always been satisfied, my last order was a silver ingot which arrived in excellent condition even better, I recommend buying precious metals, it is the best way to safeguard your money!
I recently placed an order and received it in a timely manner, Gainesville coins has a wide variety of products that some stores of the same type do not have, the prices are very fair and competitive
The best prices on bullion, I received the shipments in a safe and timely manner, I have bought from them a few times and I have realized that everything I have bought is authentic, I recommend them.
I made a purchase of some gold coins, I really liked it because they received my cryptocurrencies and the shipping was very secure.
ORDERED SILVER LAST JULY AND STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY ORDER. FINALLY GOT A HOLD OF A LIVE PERSON AND SHE COULDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING! SHE HAD NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY ORDER. YES THEY ENTICE YOU IN WITH A VERY LOW PREMIUM BUT IF YOU BUY A LARGE AMOUNT ALL THEY DO IS FLOAT YOUR MONEY AND YOU'LL PROBABLY NEVER SEE YOUR ORDER. I'M STILL WAITING! I TOO ORDERED FROM ANOTHER SUPPLIER AT THE SAME TIME AND I RECEIVED THAT ORDER WITHIN WEEKS FROM THE TIME I SENT MY CHECK IN. THIS IS VERY DEPRESSING THAT WE HAVE TO WAITE SO LONG FOR A PRODUCT. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN HORRIBLE. THERE ARE OTHER COMPANIES THAT OFFER SIMILAR PREMIUMS THAT WILL SHIP YOUR ORDERS OUT AS SOON AS YOUR CHECK HAS CLEARED, LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM INSTEAD.
Would like to rate Black Beard rounds I ordered! Can't do it because they still haven't arrived! Ordered over 40 days ago, talked to customer service 3 time, can't or won't let me know when they will ship! Say ship in sequence of when ordered, won't let you know what place in que you are! Can tell you customer service and shipping is very poor! Didn't hesitate to charge credit card. Hope I didn't get scammed! Will update if received.
Answer: I wouldn't sell my coins to Gainesville I would use an online service like Monex or Kitco
