FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers, in the order people ask them: what you own, why it's better, how you know it's yours, and what legally protects you.
What does a Gold Eagle Token actually represent?
One specific 1 oz American Gold Eagle — a U.S. Mint coin — held at BlueVault. The Gold Eagle Token (GET) is digital title to that coin. The coin is what the holder owns; the token is how ownership of it moves.
If a client holds ten GET, ten specific American Gold Eagles sit in the vault for that client. The metal stays put; ownership moves.
And the Silver Eagle Token?
The same structure for silver: each Silver Eagle Token (SET) is digital title to one specific 1 oz American Silver Eagle held at BlueVault, redeemable for the coin.
What is Great American Token Company (GATCo)?
Great American Token Company (GATCo) is a U.S. asset issuer. It issues the Gold Eagle Token (GET) and the Silver Eagle Token (SET), each legal title to one specific 1 oz U.S. Mint American Eagle coin held in insured custody at BlueVault, and it keeps the record of legal title.
GATCo works business to business, through programs for advisors and institutions.
How can someone buy GET or SET?
Through an advisor or institution. GATCo does not sell directly to the public: advisors and institutions offer GET and SET to their clients, or hold them directly, through a B2B program.
Program terms, fees and minimums are provided in a briefing. Request a briefing.
How does ownership move without moving the coin?
The coin stays in the vault at BlueVault, held by GATCo as bailee for its owner. What moves is legal title: ownership transfers digitally through SATCHEL, the ownership interface, while GATCo keeps the record of legal title and F1R3FLY protects the ownership records.
Doesn't a gold ETF already give you a claim on gold?
Not on specific metal. A gold ETF share is financial exposure to the gold price through another legal structure — shares of a fund. Shareholders don't hold title to particular bars, and exchanging shares for metal is generally limited to large authorized participants.
GET and SET are direct legal ownership of allocated physical coins, with ownership that moves digitally. Read the full comparison.
How are GATCo and SATCHEL different?
GATCo is the issuer: it issues GET and SET and keeps the record of legal title. SATCHEL is the ownership interface and infrastructure: it provides dignified delegation over data-based assets — how holders and institutions hold, delegate, transfer and report on ownership.
GET and SET show the infrastructure working. SATCHEL extends the same architecture to institutions and to other asset classes. See how the pieces fit.
Who is GATCo for?
Advisors and institutions: registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, family offices, asset managers, banks and trust companies, and corporate treasuries. GATCo works business to business and does not sell directly to the public; individuals own GET and SET through their advisor or institution.
What do institutions actually buy?
Two separate things. Through a B2B program, an institution can offer GET and SET to its clients or hold them directly. Separately, institutions that want to run their own digitally negotiable ownership programs can build on SATCHEL.
Program terms, fees and minimums are provided in a briefing. Request a briefing.
How do I know the coins exist and are really mine?
Each claim has proof beside it: custody and insurance at BlueVault, a structure confirmed by legal opinion letters, ownership records protected by F1R3FLY, a U.S. patent, and physical redemption — a holder can take delivery of the coin. See the proof, or request the diligence documents.
Why do BlueVault and F1R3FLY matter?
BlueVault protects the asset. F1R3FLY protects the ownership data. GATCo connects the two through a legally enforceable ownership structure.
BlueVault is in its 15th year, provides vault custody with transport and insurance, and serves as a precious-metals IRA depository. F1R3FLY builds formally verified infrastructure — in its words, “correct by construction, auditable by design” — and joined the Tata Consultancy Services Alliance ecosystem in July 2026 (PR Newswire).
What materials do advisors get?
Two layers. For clients: a one-page fact sheet for each product, written for the end holder. For the institution: a briefing covering structure, economics, compliance, custody and operational integration, backed by the documents in the diligence library.
What happens to the coins if GATCo fails?
Ownership is structured through bailment and warehouse-receipt concepts designed to separate holder assets from issuer creditors. The coins are held for their owners rather than owned by GATCo, so they are structured to be out of reach of GATCo's creditors.
Our legal opinion letters address this in detail and are available to qualified institutions on request.
What law governs GET and SET?
They are structured under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) in Nevada. Legal opinion letters confirming the structure are available to qualified institutions on request.
Where are the coins held?
At BlueVault, a U.S. custodian with facilities in Dallas, Orange County and San Diego. Each coin is allocated to its owner and stays in the vault while ownership moves.
Are the coins insured?
Yes. Coins in custody are insured through BlueVault's insurance program. Policy details are provided to qualified institutions during diligence.
Can holders take delivery of the coin?
Yes. A holder can redeem GET or SET for the physical coin it represents, subject to program terms. Redemption logistics and any associated fees are set out in the program terms provided in a briefing.
What are the fees and minimums?
Fees, minimums and other program terms depend on the B2B program and are provided during a briefing.
Why American Eagle coins?
The American Gold Eagle and American Silver Eagle are the official gold and silver bullion coins of the United States, produced by the U.S. Mint since 1986. The U.S. Mint guarantees their weight, content and purity, and dealers worldwide recognize them — which matters when a holder takes delivery.
