Augusta Precious Metals - Worth It? My Experience (Platinum IRA)

So, I've seen a few posts floating around about Gold IRAs and wanted to share my experience with Augusta Precious Metals, specifically with setting up a Platinum IRA. I've been with them for about three years now. I'm a secretary for one of the big oil companies here in Tulsa, and honestly, a lot of what I learned about diversifying beyond just stocks came from listening to the executives talk over lunch. When I was looking to move about $150,000 of my retirement savings into something a bit more stable, Augusta really stood out.
The whole process was smoother than I expected. I was a little nervous about moving that much money around, especially into something I wasn't super familiar with. The rep I worked with at Augusta, his name was Mike, was incredibly patient. He walked me through all the options, explained the fees clearly (which, let's be real, is usually where these companies get ya), and never once pushed me. We talked a lot about the pros and cons of platinum specifically versus just sticking with gold. Given the industrial demand for platinum, it made sense to me as a hedge.
My account is still sitting pretty well, and I've been really happy with the transparency. I get regular updates and feel like I always know what's going on. No hidden charges or weird surprises, which is a huge relief when you're talking about your future. For anyone in Oklahoma or just generally looking to diversify out of traditional markets, I think they're a solid choice.
Anyone else have experience with Augusta, especially with their Platinum offerings? Or other companies offering Platinum IRAs? Curious to hear if others have had similar positive experiences or if there are things I should be looking out for as my portfolio grows.
