Use of "cookies"

A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.

Monarch Precious Metals LLC uses cookies only to enable you to retrieve fresh quotes or place additional orders without having to re-enter your name and shipping information each time.

If you are having problems logging in or the system cannot seem to find your username or password, please check your browser settings and/or any kind of cookie blocker you may have installed on your system and make sure it is allowing our website to set a cookie on your browser.

Risks

All investments involve risk - coins and bullion are no exception. The value of a bullion coin is affected by many economic factors, including the current market price of bullion and the perceived scarcity of the coins and other factors. Some of these factors include the quality and current demand and general market sentiment.


Therefore, because both bullion and coins can go down as well as up in value, investing in them may not be suitable for everyone. Since all investments, including bullion and coins, can decline in value, you should understand them well, and have adequate cash reserves and disposable income before considering a bullion or coin investment.
