Expert guides for buyers, sellers, and curious beginners.

Your Questions, Answered.

What items do you buy?

We buy US and foreign coins and currency, gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium bullion, diamonds, estate jewelry, and broken jewelry. If you’re unsure whether we’ll be interested, bring it in — we’ll take a look at no cost to you.

Do I need an appointment for an appraisal?

+

No appointment is needed — walk-ins are always welcome during business hours. That said, booking ahead through our scheduler means an expert is ready the moment you arrive, with zero wait and no obligation.

How do you calculate what you’ll pay for my coins or bullion?

+

Every item is evaluated in front of you: bullion is weighed and priced against the live spot market, while collectible coins are graded against PCGS and NGC standards and checked against current market values. We explain exactly how we arrive at every number before you decide anything.

Are your verbal appraisals really free — no obligation?

+

Yes — verbal appraisals are always free, and there is never any obligation or pressure to sell. You’ll leave knowing what you have and what it’s worth, whether you sell today, later, or not at all.

Do you buy broken or damaged jewelry?

+

Absolutely. Broken chains, single earrings, damaged settings — gold, silver, and platinum pieces are valued on their precious-metal content, and any diamonds or gemstones are evaluated separately.
