Business Model and Segments

A-Mark organizes its activities into three complementary segments: Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services, Direct-to-Consumer, and Secured Lending.

The Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services segment distributes and purchases precious metal products from sovereign and private mints. This segment also includes A-M Global Logistics and minting operations. A-M Global Logistics provides managed storage options for precious metals and secure receiving, handling, inventorying, processing, packaging, and shipping services. Mint operations are conducted through Silver Towne Mint, A-Mark’s wholly owned subsidiary, which produces proprietary coin and bar offerings and can provide preferred product access during periods when silver bullion from sovereign mints is constrained.

The Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) segment operates as an omni-channel retailer of precious metals and collectibles. A-Mark provides access to a broad array of bullion and numismatic products through wholly owned subsidiaries such as JM Bullion, Goldline, AMS, Stack’s Bowers Galleries, and Pinehurst Coin Exchange, as well as its controlling interest in Silver Gold Bull. JM Bullion (JMB) owns and operates multiple specialized retail websites, including JMBullion.com, ProvidentMetals.com, Silver.com, CyberMetals.com, GoldPrice.org, SilverPrice.org, BGASC.com, BullionMax.com, and Gold.com. Goldline markets precious metals directly to investors through channels that include television, radio, and telephonic sales. AMS operates GOVMINT, which markets vintage and modern coins via a dedicated website, television advertising, and telephonic sales. Silver Gold Bull is described as a leading online precious metals retailer in Canada, and A-Mark also holds minority ownership interests in additional DTC brands.

Stack’s Bowers Galleries, a consolidated subsidiary, is a rare coin and currency auction house and a wholesale and retail dealer of numismatic and bullion products. Pinehurst Coin Exchange acts as a precious metals broker serving wholesale and retail markets and is a retailer of modern and numismatic coins on online marketplaces. LPM Group Limited (LPM), located in Hong Kong’s Central Financial District, is one of Asia’s largest precious metals dealers, operating a showroom and a 24/7 online trading platform offering silver coins, gold bullion, certified coins, and collectible numismatic issues to wholesale customers.

The Secured Lending segment operates through Collateral Finance Corporation (CFC), A-Mark’s wholly owned, California-licensed finance lender founded in 2005. CFC originates and acquires loans secured by bullion and numismatic coins. Its customers include coin and precious metal dealers, investors, and collectors. In addition, A-Mark’s secured lending activities extend to commercial loans and inventory financing solutions collateralized by bullion, numismatics, and sports cards through CFC, as described in the company’s segment discussions.

Vertical Integration and Alternative Assets Focus

A-Mark describes itself as a fully integrated precious metals platform and, in later communications, as an alternative assets platform that also encompasses numismatics and other collectibles. Its vertically integrated model spans sourcing from sovereign and private mints, minting through Silver Towne Mint and its minority interest in Sunshine Minting, logistics and storage through A-M Global Logistics, wholesale distribution, direct-to-consumer retail, and secured lending.

The company notes that it has built relationships with major banks and private and sovereign mints around the world, and that its infrastructure is intended to serve global customers, retailers, collectors, and institutional clients. Through its brands and subsidiaries, A-Mark participates in both bullion markets and higher-margin collectible and luxury segments, including rare coins and currency.
