None of my usual/favorite dealers had any 1/2 ounce Gold Eagles in stock (other than Apmex, but the premiums...), so I looked around a lot today until I found these folks. They apparently have been around for over a decade. They are based in Texas and apparently are a subsidiary company of the company that's building/managing the Texas Bullion Depository (for the State of Texas).

The site is fairly easy to navigate. You have to register an account to order something, but that's pretty standard with online dealers.

I placed an order today. I'll let you all know how it goes.

I got an email notice with shipping confirmation (and tracking info). Nice.

Order received. Packed acceptably and discretely.

Shipping was supposed to be signature required, but USPS just left it in my mailbox. Not sure if that's my mailperson's fault or if US Gold Bureau didn't ship correctly.

US Gold Bureau has not lit up my phone with annoying sales calls like some dealers do when you buy from them, but they have sent me a lot of emails. Easy enough to sort as desired.

Overall, a positive experience.

Ordered one item and received it, but it wasn't shipped as advertised.
