History
Scott Thomas, an avid coin collector, was the underwriter for mortgage companies before establishing Edmond Coins and formed the American Precious Metals Exchange in Edmond, Oklahoma in 1999. The company's name was later shortened to APMEX. The website was launched in 2004.
In 2009, APMEX began to ship internationally to Canada and eventually expanded to 83 countries around the world. The rapid increase in demand for Logam Mulia helped the company achieve its first $ 1 billion sale in 2010
APMEX moved its headquarters to the former Federal Reserve Bank of Oklahoma City in 2010.
In 2011, APMEX publicly paid bail money using gold bullion to Donald Trump for commercial space at The Trump Building in Manhattan Financial District. The payout was published as a comment on the weakness of the US dollar.
In 2013, APMEX launched an exclusive partnership with eBay to create the APMEX Bullion Center on eBay, which became the eBay Seller of 2016.
In 2014, APMEX became one of the 10 Gold, Silver, and Platinum Gold Mint Buyers. This allows APMEX to purchase gold products directly from mint rather than through a third party distributor.
By 2017, APMEX stays at the top 50 of the Top 500 Internet® Reseller Guide for the third year in a row, establishing its reputation as the top precious metal resource. APMEX also integrates BitPay into its website to receive Bitcoin as a payment method.
