Copyright Theft of Coin Images
Perhaps we should be flattered by the number of people including dealers who continually infringe our IP (Intellectual Property) rights by using our copyright images, but we do not find it amusing, and will take legal action against any copyright thieves.
Bullion Silver Gold (bullion-silver-gold.com)
Bullion Silver Gold (bullion-silver-gold.com) appears to be an advice site, but is actually simply a pointer to Westminster Mint of Minneapolis, Minnesota, & Madison, Wisconsin, USA, Gold Coins and Gold Bullion, another dishonest gold & coin dealer committing copyright theft by using our images without permission.
On their "Gold Bullion Coins" page http://bullion-silver-gold.com/gold_bullion.html, (and their "Gold Bullion" page which is identical) which we reproduce here, they are clearly using at least 3 of our high quality gold coin images, and we are still checking the remainder, many of the linked pages contain two, three or more of our photographs.
The images we have positively identified so far include P.A.M.P. (Pamp) Suisse Fortuna Gold Bar, One Ounce Chinese Panda Gold Coin, Canadian One Ounce Maple Leaf Gold Coin

Bullion Silver Gold claims:
Gold and silver are often seen as hedges against both inflation and economic downturn. Silver coins have become popular with collectors due to their relative affordability, and unlike most gold and platinum issues which are valued based upon the markets, silver issues are more often valued as collectables, far higher than their actual bullion value.) Investors generally buy gold as a hedge or safe haven against any economic, political, social, or currency-based crises. These crises include investment market declines, inflation, war, and social unrest. Today, like all investments and commodities, the price of goldand silver is ultimately driven by supply and demand.
A traditional way of investing in silver and gold is by buying Silver Bullion Bars- Silver Bullion Rounds- Silver Bullion Ingots- Silver Bullion Coins - Silver Bullion Christmas Round or by buying Gold Bullion Coins such as Gold Eagles, Gold Buffalos, Krugerrands, Chinese Pandas, Canadian Maple leafs, Austrian Philharmonics and Australian Kangaroos are the top selling gold bullion coins in the world. Each coin is guaranteed for weight and purity by their issuing government.

What's Wrong?
-
First, and most obvious. Bullion Silver Gold have taken and used our copyright images without our consent or prior knowledge. This is a clear breach of our Intellectual Property Rights. We call it image theft, and it is dishonest. It is also unprofessional.
If the company is an important well established bullion dealer, then surely it could afford to take its own photographs, buy them from an image library, or commission them from a professional photographer. Instead it appear to have chosen to steal our pictures. Apart from exposing them as cheapskates, it is unfair competition.
- Bullion Silver Gold expect their customers to trust them with the storage of high value assets, yet they cannot be trusted not to steal images.
