Gold coins purchased through your UPMA membership at Alpine Gold are priced based on market dynamics. Silver Eagle coins often run a higher premium due to shortages in the physical market and are subject to change based on market demand. To see current prices, go to the upma.org or alpinegold.com home pages. These prices are also available within each member’s account portal. Any coins or Goldbacks, when purchased and vaulted through UPMA, can be sold back to the membership for the same price at which UPMA is selling to the membership on any given day up to $10,000 during a 30-day rolling time window. There is no buy/sell spread on those metals purchased and held with UPMA however this feature can be suspended during extreme market conditions.

UPMA assesses its members’ fees to cover the cost of vaulting, insurance, and member dues. Vaulted Gold Dollar accounts having a balance between one and 500 Gold Dollars (ten Gold ounces) are assessed a monthly fee of five basis points (0.05%). This would equate to $1.00 for a one-ounce Gold coin at a $2,000/ounce exchange rate. For balances over 500 Gold Dollars, the monthly fee drops to two basis points per month (0.02%), e.g., $0.40/month per ounce, assuming a $2,000/ounce exchange rate. A balance of less than one Gold Dollar is not assessed any fees, nor are fees assessed on leased Gold Dollars.

Vaulted Silver Dollar accounts carry a monthly fee of five basis points (0.05%). Using an exchange rate of $40/ounce, this would equate to a fee of $0.02/month per ounce. An account balance of less than one Silver Dollar, as well as leased Silver Dollars, are not assessed any fees.

For Goldback® accounts, Goldback Inc. covers all applicable vaulting, insurance, and membership dues, at no cost to the member.
