Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of an aggregate of 464,640 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Registrant (the “Common Stock”).

We have reviewed copies of (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant, (iii) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Registrant, (iv) resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Registrant and (v) that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 9, 2021 by and among the Registrant and the other signatories thereto.

We have also reviewed such other documents and made such other investigations as we have deemed appropriate.  As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon statements, representations and certificates of officers or representatives of the Registrant, public officials and others.  We have not independently verified the facts so relied on.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares will, when sold in the manner described in the Registration Statement, be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We do not express any opinion with respect to any law other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.  This opinion is rendered only with respect to the laws and legal interpretations and the facts and circumstances in effect on the date hereof.
