Los Angeles – October 28, 2026 -- Lear Capital, a Los Angeles precious metals company, says it has passed $5 billion in lifetime transactions covering gold and silver purchases, sales and IRA rollovers for nearly 150,000 customers since 1997.
The $5 billion total covers purchases, sales and IRA rollovers
The company counts gold and silver purchases, sales and individual retirement account rollovers in the figure. Its business spans direct precious metals sales and self-directed precious metals IRAs, with gold, silver, platinum and palladium on offer. Customers include first-time buyers and long-term holders.
Customers can hold metals personally or inside a retirement account
