We buy gold and silver of any kind or condition. This includes jewelry, sterling silver flatware, coins, bullion bars, dental gold, and more. We also buy platinum coins and bullion.

We don't buy platinum jewelry, costume jewelry, gold-plated or silver-plated jewelry, silver shot, beads, circuitboards, recovery silver, paper currency, or stamps.

Depending on the type and number of items you're looking to sell, you'll have an offer in as little as five minutes. If you have several pieces, anticipate at least 15 minutes for testing and weighing.

Large lots with dozens or hundreds of pieces can take significantly longer, and a private appointment is recommended.

We use state licensed, certified legal for trade scales to weigh your items.

"Solid" gold jewelry has the same metal content throughout.

"Plated" gold jewelry consists of a thin layer of solid gold applied over a base metal such as copper. Plated jewelry typically has very little fine gold content, and the cost of refining it can be greater than the value of the gold contained.

Common gold plating methods include gold fill, electroplating, and roll plating. Plated pieces are often marked "GF", "GP", "KGP, "HGE", or "RGP."

Most solid gold jewelry contains a karat stamp such as "10K" or "14K". Jewelry manufactured outside of the US will often bear "fineness" markings such as "417", "585", or "750" rather than a karat stamp.

However, some authentic gold jewelry is unstamped. In other cases, gold-plated jewelry has been stamped and sold as solid gold by a dishonest jeweler. We may use X-ray fluorescence or simple chemical testing to identify or confirm the metal content of marked and unmarked items.

If you see a stamp like "GF", "GP", "KGP, "HGE", or "RGP" on gold jewelry, this indicates that it is gold-plated.

Except for certain types of chains, solid gold and silver jewelry should not be magnetic. Use a strong neodymium magnet to confirm that your items are not magnetic.

While solid silver jewelry can tarnish, solid gold jewelry cannot. You can also examine gold jewelry for copper or silver colors showing through in well worn spots, which typically indicate plating.

In almost all cases, authentic silver jewelry will be stamped "925" and will not be magnetic. If you have silver colored pieces that are not stamped, or they are stamped but magnetic, it is unlikely that they are silver.

We perform non-destructive electronic testing on coins and bullion bars. If your coin is in a case, we typically do not need to remove it.

For heavy or unstamped gold jewelry, we may need to file or even completely cut the item before finalizing the purchase. In these cases, we can first provide you with an offer.

For items containing large stones, or gold watch bands or pocket-watches containing workings, we can provide a minimum offer by deducting from the gross weight of the item to account for this material. Should you wish to proceed with the sale, we will remove any non-precious-metal material and re-weigh the item.

When selling in person, we issue cash, check, or Zelle payments on the spot. ACH and wire transfers may not be issued immediately.

When selling by mail, payments are processed the same or next business day you accept our offer.

Cash payments aren't available when selling by mail.

For in-person sales of jewelry and other "scrap" forms of gold and silver, we will make every effort to issue your entire payment in cash if requested. If you are anticipating a large cash payment, please contact us.

When selling coins or bullion, we typically only pay up to the first $500 in cash.

If we pay you over $10,000 in cash in one or more connected transactions, we are required to file IRS Form 8300.

If you sell us large quantities of certain types of coins or bullion, we are required to file IRS Form 1099-B, regardless of the form of payment.

When selling secondhand goods, Florida law requires the presentation of a government-issued photo ID. We must also collect certain other identifying information.

If you are selling items which are not secondhand goods, such as coins or dental material, we will ask for your name and any other basic contact or banking information needed to issue payment.
