About A-Mark Precious MetalsFounded in
1965, A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. is a leading fully integrated
precious metals platform that offers an array of gold, silver,
platinum, palladium, and copper bullion, numismatic coins, and
related products to wholesale and retail customers via a portfolio
of channels. The company conducts its operations through three
complementary segments: Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services,
Direct-to-Consumer, and Secured Lending. The company’s global
customer base spans sovereign and private mints, manufacturers and
fabricators, refiners, dealers, financial institutions, industrial
users, investors, collectors, e-commerce customers, and other
retail customers.
A-Mark’s Wholesale Sales & Ancillary
Services segment distributes and purchases precious metal products
from sovereign and private mints. As a U.S. Mint-authorized
purchaser of gold, silver, and platinum coins since 1986, A-Mark
purchases bullion products directly from the U.S. Mint for sale to
customers. A-Mark also has longstanding distributorships with other
sovereign mints, including Australia, Austria, Canada, China,
Mexico, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The company sells
more than 200 different products to e-commerce retailers, coin and
bullion dealers, financial institutions, brokerages, and
collectors. In addition, A-Mark sells precious metal products to
industrial users, including metal refiners, manufacturers, and
electronic fabricators.
Located in the heart of Hong Kong’s Central
Financial District, A-Mark’s consolidated subsidiary, LPM Group
Limited (LPM), is one of Asia’s largest precious metals dealers.
LPM offers a wide selection of products to its wholesale customers,
through its showroom and 24/7 online trading platform, including
recently released silver coins, gold bullion, certified coins, and
the latest collectible numismatic issues.
Through its A-M Global Logistics subsidiary,
A-Mark provides its customers with a range of complementary
services, including managed storage options for precious metals as
well as receiving, handling, inventorying, processing, packaging,
and shipping of precious metals and coins on a secure basis.
A-Mark’s mint operations, which are conducted through its wholly
owned subsidiary Silver Towne Mint, enable the company to
offer customers a wide range of proprietary coin and bar offerings
and, during periods of market volatility when the availability of
silver bullion from sovereign mints is often product constrained,
preferred product access.
A-Mark’s Direct-to-Consumer segment operates as
an omni-channel retailer of precious metals, providing access to a
multitude of products through its wholly owned
subsidiaries, JM Bullion and Goldline. JMB owns and
operates numerous websites targeting specific niches within the
precious metals retail market, including JMBullion.com,
ProvidentMetals.com, Silver.com, CyberMetals.com, GoldPrice.org,
SilverPrice.org, BGASC.com, BullionMax.com, and Gold.com. Goldline
markets precious metals directly to the investor community through
various channels, including television, radio, and telephonic sales
efforts. A-Mark is the majority owner of Silver Gold Bull, a
leading online precious metals retailer in Canada, and also holds
minority ownership interests in three additional direct-to-consumer
brands.
The company operates its Secured Lending segment
through its wholly owned subsidiary, Collateral Finance Corporation
(CFC). Founded in 2005, CFC is a California licensed finance lender
that originates and acquires loans secured by bullion and
numismatic coins. Its customers include coin and precious metal
dealers, investors, and collectors.

has additional offices and facilities in the neighboring Los
Angeles area as well as in Dallas, TX, Las Vegas, NV, Winchester,
