Sunshine Minting Acquired By Gold.com – Here’s What Investors Should Know.

Gold.com, formerly known as A-Mark Precious Metals, recently announced the acquisition of Sunshine Minting. Sunshine is one of the largest North American producers of gold and silver blanks and an authorized distributor of blanks to the United States Mint. The acquisition significantly strengthens Gold.com’s position in the precious metals market and could leave a lasting mark on the industry.

Gold.com is one of the largest precious metals trading companies in the United States. Last year, the corporation logged $10.98 billion in revenue, an increase from $9.70 billion in 2024. Sunshine Minting specializes in the production of precious metal products, as well as gold and silver blanks. As one of the largest private mints in North America, Sunshine Minting offers a robust production framework to add to Gold.com’s holdings.

In a press release announcing the acquisition, Gold.com explained that this deal will help to create one of the largest precious metals minting platforms in North America.

The acquisition significantly expands Gold.com’s vertically integrated minting platform and increases total production capacity to more than three million ounces of finished precious metals products per week across Sunshine Minting and Silver Towne Mint (STM).

With the recent acquisition, Gold.com is poised to combine one of the largest distribution networks in North America with one of the continent’s most robust production infrastructures. The consolidation of these two powerhouse players in the precious metals market could streamline production and order fulfillment for Gold.com and its subsidiaries, providing a degree of vertical integration rarely seen in this sector.

This is not Gold.com’s first venture into the acquisition of major private minting operations. In 2016, Gold.com (then A-Mark Precious Metals) acquired a majority stake in SilverTowne Mint, a major producer of silver bars and rounds. With the acquisition of Sunshine Minting, Gold.com is expected to significantly increase its control over production and supply chains in the precious metals sector.

Greg Roberts, CEO of Gold.com, believes that the integration of Sunshine Minting with SilverTowne Mint will help Gold.com expand its operations and better serve sovereign mints.

By combining Sunshine Minting with Silver Towne Mint, we are creating one of the largest minting networks in North America, whose expanded platform will enhance Gold.com’s ability to develop differentiated products, secure bullion supply during periods of strong demand, and deepen our relationships with the United States Mint and sovereign mints around the world.

Gold.com and Sunshine Minting have enjoyed a close business relationship for years, according Sunshine Minting CEO Tom Power, who will function as a special advisor as Gold.com integrates SMI into their business.

Almost eight years ago when I was looking for the right partner to help bring additional value to our business, Gold.com (formerly A-Mark Precious Metals) was the perfect fit. Since then, Gold.com has been an outstanding partner, and I am excited to continue working with the team as the business enters its next phase of growth.

For the larger precious metals market, Gold.com’s acquisition of Sunshine Minting could impact retail distribution in different ways, depending on market conditions.

In normal periods, the minting platform’s integration with a range of full-suite retail distributors may offer greater availability and diminished shipping times for Sunshine Minting products listed on the company’s retail sites. During periods of heightened demand, however, the vertically integrated platform may lead to supply chain constraints caused by bottlenecks resulting from a limited number of available distribution outlets.

Gold.com said in a press release that the company hopes this new partnership will make it easier for the company to quickly and effectively handle orders during periods of heightened demand.
