History.
Scott Thomas, an avid coin collector, was an underwriter for a mortgage company before founding Edmond Coins and forming American Precious Metals Exchange in Edmond, Oklahoma in 2000. The company name was later shortened to APMEX.
In 2011, APMEX publicly paid a security deposit using gold bullion to Donald Trump for commercial space in The Trump Building in Manhattan's Financial District. The payment was publicized as a commentary on the weakness of the American dollar.
