Metal content
Weight, fineness and the kind of product help establish the precious metal present. Ask which checks were used and what remains uncertain.

WHAT YOU CAN BRING
One coin or a collection.
You can begin with a description, even if you do not know the metal content or the names of the coins. Keep sets, holders and paperwork together for the evaluation.
- Gold bullion coins, including Eagles, Maple Leafs and Krugerrands
- Gold and silver bars and rounds
- Silver bullion coins and older silver coin collections
- Collectible gold coins and graded pieces for individual review
Acceptance depends on the actual items. A familiar design, stamp or certificate does not replace examination.
WHAT SHAPES THE OFFER
The details behind the number.
The individual coin
Date, mintmark, condition and collector demand may matter beyond metal content. Keep graded holders intact for the initial review.
The offer today
A market quotation is context, not a promised purchase price. Ask whether the offer is based on metal, collectibility or both.
AN ILLUSTRATION, NOT A PRICE ESTIMATE
Understand how jewelry offers are determinedThe same metal does not always mean the same offer.
A common bullion coin and a collectible coin can contain similar amounts of gold while attracting different buyers. The first question is what each piece is. Do not clean the coins or separate a set to make them look ready for sale.

Store details & directionsBEFORE YOU DECIDE
Your questions, answered.
Do I need to know the weight or purity first?
No. Share what is marked on the piece or packaging if you can read it. The team can explain what needs to be checked during evaluation.
Should I clean coins or remove them from holders?
Leave them as they are for the initial review. Cleaning can damage collectible surfaces. Ask before opening a graded holder or assay package.
Is the spot price the amount I will receive?
No. Ask for an offer for your actual items and an explanation of its basis. Metal content, the individual product and its resale market can all affect the assessment.
Can I ask about a loan instead?
Yes, you can ask about borrowing against eligible coins or bullion. It requires a separate evaluation and written agreement; an inquiry does not establish eligibility or an amount.

CONSIDERING ANOTHER OPTION?
Ask about borrowing.
A collateral loan is a separate option for an eligible item. The lender holds it under the agreement; repayment according to the terms is required to recover it.
More than one kind of piece?
