Gold goes digital: Dillon Gage introduces DGGold future of direct physical gold ownership, now available to investors

Addison, Texas (August 15, 2018) — Dillon Gage Metals, one of the world’s largest precious metals wholesale firms and technology innovators in the industry, recently launched its first Digital Metals product: DGGold. This product is the first of its kind to be offered to the retail public through Dillon Gage’s growing precious metals dealer network. It is eligible for purchase on their proprietary online trading platform, FizTrade. DGGold, which utilizes VaultChain Gold powered by Tradewind, delivers an unprecedented method of direct gold ownership to the investment community, expanding on Dillon Gage’s already impressive lineup of product and service offerings.

“I am excited to introduce Dillon Gage Metals’ newest product to the individual investor and individual retirement account investment community,” said Mark Furmanek, chief operating officer at Dillon Gage Metals. “DGGold brings an investment product, previously dominated by large institutions and bullion banks, to its dealer network to satisfy individual investors’ needs.”

Unlike exchange-traded funds (ETFs), DGGold represents 100 percent direct ownership of investment-grade, pure physical gold. The title is maintained by a cryptographically-secure blockchain database that investors can utilize to verify ownership. The physical gold is securely stored in the vaults of the Royal Canadian Mint and is fully deliverable upon request at any time.

How Does It Work?

Through FizTrade, dealers connect with Dillon Gage Metals to conveniently and safely buy, sell, and store any quantity of investment-grade physical gold using blockchain technology — even fractional ounces.

100 percent of the gold is deposited in reserve as physical gold in the highly-secure vaults of the Royal Canadian Mint. Investors have complete ownership over their gold holdings and can request physical delivery in a variety of forms at any time.

Gold ownership is verified using Tradewind’s blockchain distributed ledger to ensure data accuracy and tracking.

How Does It Benefit Investors?

Unlike a gold ETF, there is no intermediate entity or fund, and no management fees.

Investors can purchase any quantity of physical gold, even fractional ounces. There are no associated storage fees.

Owners of DGGold can independently verify 100 percent ownership of the gold holdings and request physical delivery at any time.

For more information about DGGold, call Mark Furmanek, chief operating officer, at (800) 375-4243 ext.1152. Explore how the world’s leading precious metals trading platform can power your business at FizTrade. For more information about Dillon Gage Metals, please visit the company’s website.

Letters to the Editor: Nov. 12, 2019

War in the Pacific ‘W’ Mintmark I was in the self-checkout at Walmart four weeks ago here in Mt. Vernon, Ill., and received a little bit of loose change for my purchase. I didn’t check it until I got home and was very surprised to find a War in the Pacific with a “W” mintmark. I’m just wondering if it’s something that I should send in to one of the grading companies. In other words, would it be worth more later on by doing so? I understand that it’ll cost at least   $30.00 to do so and also heard that “in the raw” is only worth maybe $25. I   hope to hear a reply. Name and address withheld   In Response to Richard Giedroyc’s Commentary I politely disagree with erudite and longtime numismatic colleague, Richard Giedroyc, whose Numismatic News story, “Get Rich” Promotion Wrong Angle for Healthy Market Growth,” was critical of a recent CNBC story entitled, “People have been making up to $100,000 off ‘coin hunting.’” He doesn’t think the hobby will benefit with an a...

ANA, ‘Remember the Member’

By Barbara J. Gregory The September 2020 issue of The Numismatist (Page 55) carried a heartfelt plea from American Numismatic Association Executive Director Kim Kiick urging optimism with regard to the future of the hobby and the American Numismatic Association. Although her comments saddened me greatly, they were solidly on the mark. Now, more than ever, collectors and families need fun, stimulating diversions from today’s challenges, much like American citizens did during the Great Depression and the years following World War II. Those dreary days provided a conducive climate for promoting coin collecting and launching a host of hobby products, from coin folders and guide books to monthly magazines and supplies. Eager for an affordable activity to take their minds off their troubles, many people dove into numismatics, pushing hobby participation to new heights. ANA governors can learn from history and turn the present situation into an opportunity for growth and service. However,...
