ProvidentMetals.com, a subsidiary of Provident Precious Metals, LLC, was founded at the request of our customers who were seeking an online destination for purchasing precious metals and currency in an environment focused on security and service. From the ground up, Provident Metals was built to meet these needs.

Provident Metals is a premier provider of international and domestic bullion, currency, and numismatic coins located in the North Dallas suburbs with over 100 years of cumulative experience in the industry.

Provident Metals actually launched a new redesign of their web site on the day our review update was due to be released, so we decided to delay our review update by one day in order to see Provident Metals' brand new site. The homepage has an easy to use flash bullion menu on the top. When you highlight bullion you can then choose between gold, silver, platinum, palladium, or copper. When you highlight the metal of your choice, all of the products appear for that category whether it is U.S., foreign, or private mint products.

Provident Metals has another button at the top to choose foreign coins by country. Provident Metals also offers paper currencies as well as a very large variety of coin supplies.

At the time of our review update, Provident Metals' prices were $10.84 higher than Bullion Direct for a one ounce American Eagle gold coin, $5.64 higher than Bullion Direct for a one ounce Canadian Maple Leaf gold coin, $0.28 higher than Gainesville coins for a one ounce South African Kruggerand, and $9.45 higher than Kitco for a one ounce gold bar.

For silver, Provident Metals' prices were $0.54 higher than Lear Capital for a one ounce American Eagle silver coin and $0.26 higher than Gainesville Coins for a one ounce silver bar.

Provident Metals charges an extra 2.7% fee for credit card orders. Our order from Provident Metals arrived in just two business days, making them one of the fastest companies in our review.
