Augusta Precious Metals vs Goldco: Which is better for a gold IRA?

I'm looking to roll over my 401(k) into a gold IRA and I've narrowed it down to Augusta Precious Metals and Goldco. Anyone have experience with either? I'm particularly interested in fees, customer service, and how easy the process is. Not looking for a sales pitch, just honest opinions.

I went with Augusta a couple years ago. What sold me was their educational approach - they have a one-on-one web conference with a salaried educator, not a pushy salesperson. They walked me through everything, and there was zero pressure. Goldco is decent too, but I felt Augusta was more transparent about fees and they have a dedicated support team for life. Minimum investment is $50k though, so keep that in mind.

I looked at both and ended up with Goldco because their minimum was lower. But honestly, Augusta's customer service reputation is top-notch. If you can swing the $50k, I'd lean Augusta for the long-term support. Goldco has good reviews too, but I've heard Augusta is more thorough with the education part.

I haven't used Goldco, but I'm with Augusta and it's been great. They helped me roll over my IRA seamlessly, and their pricing is very clear. No hidden fees. They even assigned me a lifetime account support team. From what I've read, Augusta's BBB rating is A+ and they have fewer complaints than Goldco. But do your own research.
