| "Upon recommendation by my financial advisor, I contacted Golden State Mint about converting my Comex silver bars. Although I was initially a bit apprehensive about dealing with a mint, I found it a tremendous relief to work with someone who has such integrity. Since I was someone unfamiliar with many aspects of the minting process and had only a few bars, I was pleasantly surprised at the importance Jim placed on my order and the timeliness in which he completed it. He was extremely knowledgeable in pointing me in the right direction to help me convert my 1,000 oz. bars into 1 oz. rounds, thereby increasing the value of my silver by $0.65/ oz., and that was after minting costs! Jim Pavlakos at Golden State Mint makes minting your own coins a breeze! His experience and business sense is refreshingly complimented by his heartfelt caring. I truly recommend Jim and GSM for anyone interested in increasing the value of their precious metals and financial independence. Thanks Jim for all you do!" S.W. |
| "Time moves so fast and today after speaking with you I began to think back to '09 realizing it was one of my most fortunate years. It was during the latter part of that year I learned about you and Golden State Mint. I mentioned to you early on that it was a conversation I had with David Morgan where he spoke so highly of your work that prompted me to call you. Since David is someone whose credentials and integrity are of the highest, I pay attention to what he says. So I thought I would drop you a note to tell you that from our very first phone call I have been continually impressed by you, your products, and your services.
I have been more than pleased with the quality of your program of bullion conversion into silver rounds and equally impressed with the ease of doing business. No hassles, no delays, no excuses....great prices and superior service, why would I ever buy from anyone else? It was good speaking with you today. I was reminded that both you and Andrew are such professionals; thorough, genuine and consistent in delivering what you promise, when you promise it. And those are qualities money can't buy."

Thanks again," Morris M. |
| "To Whom it May Concern,
I hereby highly endorse Jim Pavlakos' Golden State Mint as one of my top suppliers. His turn around times have been fast, his product has been excellent, and his skills as a private mint to mint various different designs have exceeded our expectations. Fast: Jim has, on occasion, been able to sell us the commonly manufactured silver Buffaloes in as little as 2 days. Jim has been able to start an entire print run of a new silver round design in less than a week. Excellent product: Jim manufactures all our custom coin designs. Excellent prices: In many cases, Jim's prices have been the lowest in the entire industry, even when other people were selling silver for 2-6 month delivery, Jim had both lower prices, and faster delivery, a combination that cannot be beat. I highly recommend Jim Pavlakos for all your minting or precious metals investing needs". Sincerely, Jason Hommel Jason Hommel |
| "I just want to thank you for my recent order. I especially like the Morgan & Standing Liberty rounds. Being a retired businessman myself, I truly appreciate the honesty, quality, courtesy & promptness that your firm has shown me. Very rarely in today’s world do you see all of these virtues in a transaction. Especially appreciated is the price & quality of your products.
Keep up the good work, America needs more businesses like yours." Don H |
| "We received our silver rounds the other day and were very impressed with the product and service. We have been purchasing silver for several years now. We have found your service and pricing to be the best in the industry. We will recommend you to our friends. Thank you for taking such good care of us." Frank and C. W. of Ohio |
| "Received 500 oz of Buffalo and 500 oz of Indians. Love them.
The Morgans arrived today and you have exceeded my expectations. The Morgans are fully proof and the dies must have been polished to provide the blazing black and white contrast. They look great even in low light. I love them best of all. Thanks!" George Z. of SC |
| "Who is Jim Pavlakos and why am I recommending him? Jim manufactures all our custom coin designs. Jim came through for me months ago, when all the other mints were backlogged and could not deliver on time. Jim has always delivered on time, or faster than I expected. One time, I ordered silver rounds from him, and he had them in the mail later that same day! From a Mint!" Jason Hommel |
| "I came to Golden State Mint after paying ridiculous premiums elsewhere for silver rounds. GSM actually stamps silver rounds in-house with their own high-speed equipment to provide nearly the lowest price to the public anywhere for brand new product. Originally a fan of their 1 oz. silver Buffalo Round, I now favor their Incuse Indian (tribute) 1 oz. silver round which has quite a remarkable imprint striking (as opposed to having a raised image) with the image lines shining beautifully, in bright contrast to the matte finish of the field. I also believe the design of this coin makes it far more durable, in case of accidental dings or scratches. I've not seen anything else like it anywhere.
Jim and Andrew Pavlakos have shown me the highest integrity (and courtesy) imaginable in our dealings. They offer a very good price, for a satisfactory product, shipped immediately, with no problems. I’m accumulating more silver, faster, by buying at Golden State Mint. I expect to choose GSM silver rounds from now on." Kelly K |
| "Hi Jim & Andrew,
I received my 1 oz. silver rounds this morning. I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the quality of these silver rounds. These are beautiful rounds. You should be very proud of the quality and workmanship that goes into minting these silver rounds. I still can't get over how fast your service is. From receipt of my bank wire, these rounds were sent out the same day, and received 2 days later. Your company is wonderful. After 2 1/2 months, I'm still waiting for my order from Northwest Territorial Mint. I plan on doing a lot more business with you in the near future." George Wilmot |
